"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.

Doctor Says

Cali continues to amaze. She had her first doctors appointment yesterday and is a very healthy little (and I mean little) girl. She is literally at the bottom of the charts both height and weight, so has her doctor’s blessing to eat as much as she wants! Honestly, I think Cali would eat all day if we let her...and there seems to be nothing this child won’t eat!

Cali’s new favorite pastime is walking with Mom, Dad, and Scout.
