"We often think of the intersections in our lives, those that are planned, those that occur by chance. Some encounters we hope for, particularly love, and alas, some meetings never happen despite what we wish. I think of how those intersections have the potential to change us, our character, our circumstances, our hopes. We think about how they add to the unfinished story of our lives"...(Amy Tan, Mei Mei, 2005) Chinese folklore speaks of invisible red threads that connect a newborn child's spirit to all the people who will be important in the child's life. As the child grows, the threads shorten, drawing closer those people who are destined. We anxiously await this special meeting, a life changing intersection which will soon take us to China to bring home our little daughter, Cali Griffin.

Canine Intuition

Cali's room is Scout's new favorite place to hang out. We continue to find him upstairs lying in front of her crib. Is he practicing his canine instinct to protect the new little one or does he just enjoy the feel of the cushy pink rug in that warm cozy spot?


Though his vocabulary is usually quite advanced, he has yet to share his intimate thoughts on this topic. Being the dog whisperer that I am, I've surmised that he is truly excited about his sister's arrival. He's anxious to spend much time in her room reading stories and taking naps!
