November 2009 and Reunited with a Special Friend

November 2009:


RunYi continues school 4 days a week from 10:00am to 3:30pm and loves it.

Our equipment provider finally orders her PINK! Wheelchair.

RunYi watches her first musical with her brother in the cast and loves it.

RunYi has her first Thanksgiving

The day after Thanksgiving, we meet RunYi's special friend from her orphanage only 90 miles from home.  We were able to meet up with Xiao Bai (Little White), now named Jon and his mama and 2 sisters.  They were traveling to St. Louis for their oldest son's hockey tournament.  Jon's mom, Robyn, called to see if we would like to meet...YES!  We had a great couple of hours at Pan*era.  Robyn thinks that Jon remembered RunYi by the way he responded to her.  He is ADORABLE!  Such a sweet quiet little voice.  RunYi was so happy to see him.  We think she probably looked out for him and they will always have a special bond.  We are both so thankful to have this connection for them both.

RunYi is so happy to see that Xiao Bai has a Mama
Robyn & I meet...proof that internet friends are REAL!

Sheryl,

It's so great that you two got to meet and the kids got to see each other again!

Are there pics of Jon in some of the Hefei photos? He looks exactly like the little boy that is in a lot of them!

Sheryl -

It is so great to read the updates. The girls are both so beautiful. Can't wait to see you all in July.

So glad things are going well for RunYi (and Xiao Bai, too - what a cutie!). I can't believe how big RunYi looks!!

Best wishes,
