Happy New Year!




Happy Chinese New Year! We hosted a great new year party at a local Chinese restaurant on Sunday and had a great time. It was so wonderful to see so many children and families come together to celebrate. Hannah was of course in her glory, being able to reconnect with so many of the families she met through her work in adoption.

The reality that we are going to be traveling to China in the next month to pick up Nina is finally starting to settle in. We're buying bottles and bibs and dusting off our suitcases, planning for how we will arrange a trip to Nina's orphanage, and preparing Hannah's mother and my sister (and ourselves!) for their time with Emelia, Chloe and Ella! Of course, at the same time, we're packing up our entire house to get ready to move.

For those of you who recall our Holiday Letter, you'll remember we said that 2007 would be a "year of becoming." For us, it certainly is.

Hi Bart, Hannah and Nina,

Thanks for the new photos and informaition. So cute is Nina. We got 5-6 inches or so of snow here. Need to plow out. Have fun. Love, DAD/Grandi.
