Meeting Martin

Camera found!!! Will post pictures later:) This weekend has been a busy one and it is only Saturday night! We left for Syracuse yesterday afternoon, met my parents for dinner at this neat Italian restaurant and then relaxed until this afternoon-by relax, I mean eat and shopped. Around 2, we drove to Cortland, NY where about 25 families were gathering to meet Martin, a World Child coordinator from Vietnam. We had had the great pleasure of spending many days with Martin while we were in Vietnam and it seemed like he had touched many lives by the amount of people that were there to see him!! We also got to meet Ava Linh's and Phoebe Jade!! We had spoken to their families over the phone and via the internet but had never had the chance to meet these little angels after they came home! There were many other children running/crawling/being held-all adopted from Vietnam through World Child/Family Connections...it was so wonderful to see :) So many little faces that looked just like Isabella!! We are all planning on meeting again in Ithaca on February 8th at a Chinese/Vietnamese restaurant to celebrate the Vietnamese New Year (Tet). I wish there was a holiday every month!!

  1. Oh, how I wanted to be there....but happy that it was a great time for all. I am sure Martin got a lot of love and understands just how much we love the children that he helped to bring to our families.
