"Together from the start; always in my heart!"

Three girls together again...

Eliza, Jaiden and Emma
August 2008
Witchita, Kansas

Words cannot describe... seeing the 3 Yangdong daughters together; Eliza, Emma and Jaiden. Their lives once shared a common home, far away in China, in the same building, the same room. Through a red thread, their 3 moms connected, and a friendship began. Two years later, we (their 3 moms) made it happen...we brought the girls together again!

It was so fun; each so different, but yet sharing that same Yangdong spice..."sweet and spicey" as Megan says! Eliza, the youngest at 3, followed by Jaiden at 3.5 and Emma at 4. What an amazing time we had watching, laughing, breaking up fights, hearing "I sorry"; hearing giggles and checking in to see what they were up to, sharing mom conversations and experiences.

To add to the bliss, we met up w/ Tami and her 2 daughters, Amy and Anna, both from Yangjiang (where Yangdong SWI resides), but from neighboring SWI's. All 5 "Yang" girls gathered at a playground and talk about CUTE!!!!! ....Words just cannot describe... maybe the few pictures will help.

Sarah,
Looks like you had a great weekend meeting up with Eliza's old friends. What a special thing to be able to meet the girls she was with in china and I hope you are able to keep up the relationship!

I am sorry I have been out of touch - I never replied to your email reply! It looks like Eliza's doing great. Send me an email if you get a chance - i can't find your address! rstafeil@mac.com
