Chinese New Year Celebration 2011 - Year of the Rabbit

On February 12, 2011, we attended the Central Oklahoma Families with Children from China New Year Celebration at a local Chinese restaurant.  We were delighted to spend some time with Clare's Godparents, Kent and Paige.  We also had a wonderful visit with Amy Eldridge.  As most of you know Amy is the Executive Director of Love Without Boundaries and was instrumental in our adoption of both Clare and Gianna.  When you look into Amy's heart, you can truly see "love without boundaries."  It is such a blessing to be able to interact with other adoptive families.
