I wonder what our daughters are doing together right now? I wonder if Wren is looking over in the next crib and see Lily there. That would be cool!

I am so excited that we are going to share our entire trip to China together. It wouldn't be nearly as special without you and Pat there.

All our Best,
Dave, Sandy and Zebra (and, far-far-away but in our hearts, Wren)
