Baby Mia Has Arrived!!

Please hop over to Krista’s blog and congratulate her on the referral of her precious new baby girl!  Sweet Mia is just 5 months, 28 days old and absolutely adorable!!  (I remember well what it was like receiving Hannah’s referral call when I found out she was only 5 1/2 months old!)  Mia is a baby baby!  Yay!!!

I first met Krista in November of 2006 when a group of 4 gals who were pretty much strangers except for our blogs that tied us together, met for a fun filled weekend in Detroit!  Friendships were born as we shared our hopes and dreams that weekend.  Little did we know that it would take another 4 1/2 years before all of us became Mom’s to our precious little ones from China!  It is cool though that all of us have continued with the long wait.  I have many precious friends I’ve met through the wait who have formed their families in other ways rather than waiting for China.  It’s neat that all 4 of us now have children who were born in China!

One thing about Krista is that she is a penguin lovin’ kinda gal!  When we met that first weekend she’d bought some adorable little size 2 penguin jammies that Hannah is wearing now!  Check out that top pic in her referral post.   There are penguins flying through the air!  So cool!  It’s so neat when God does this.  Just like in Hannah’s referral pic where she was wearing little red shoes with Mickey Mouse on them.  Oh yes, she was my gal for sure!!

And for the updated pics received from DaoXian SWI in September 2009 she had switched up her shoes to yellow ones but they still sported Mickey Mouse!  Yes, her love for Disney was born long ago!

Congratulations Krista!  SO happy for you!!!
