Nope. None. Sigh.
We've kept in touch with many families from our travel group mostly through holiday cards and e-mails. We do miss that close connection with the other little girls who lived at the orphanage with Elise during her first year of life.
So, we were THRILLED when one other family from our travel group contacted us to see if we'd be going to the annual reunion! I wasn't sure how the girls would do...they haven't seen each other for 5 years. They were both pretty uninterested in each other at first, but soon became quick friends.
There were so many families at the reunion with much littler ones. It's so hard to believe we've been home for 5 years already and our girls are the "big girls" at these events now.
The face painting was the big highlight.

Love the unicorns!
The old bait and switch!! LOL - I used Great Wall in Austin - live in Houston and only know a few ppl who used them and none were on my adoption trip!
Looks like fun at the reunion - they did a great job on Elise's face painting - I see she has on a dress - she's such a girly!! ;)
Thank you for your kind comments on my blog! I stopped by and what a small world, I recognized your daughter's reunion pictures. It seems we have a friend in common - Tammie (Erin's Mom)! Any friend of Tammie and Erin is a friend of mine. :o)
Like you, we live far away from our travel group so I think it is wonderful you have the opportunity to share this with Elise.
I think it's funny that our girls are now the big girls. We are the old timers. How did that happen!?
Love the unicorns! Elise looks so adorable. Even if she is one of the older girls. ;)
