Our Little China Doll

Ni Hao!

As you may recall from a previous post, our friends Jeremy and Marsha Duncan recently went to China to finally meet the little girl they adopted. They returned a few days ago, after a grueling 31-hour day of traveling, with their sweet little one in tow. Aidyn is now officially an American and a Duncan! To view pictures of the Duncans’ adoption experience in China, please visit the Web site below, where they kept a daily diary. What an amazing experience! I’m sure they’re glad to be home now, with Aidyn safe and sound.

While in China, the Duncans thoughtfully picked-up a sweet pink Mandarin dress for Ava!

Let me just say I am a fan of Mandarin collar fashion. :-) I actually bought a blue Mandarin dress for myself a few years back, for which I endlessly dragged Doug through Chinatown (here in Atlanta) to find. Poor guy, he really is a trooper! I don’t consider myself an “Amazonian” woman, but I am an XL in a Mandarin dress, and there weren’t many in that size to begin with…



I digress. Doug needed to drop something off at the Duncans tonight, so he went over after work. The Duncans surprised us with an Ava-sized Mandarin dress. Of course Ava had to try it on! She looked SO cute! (She wanted to eat it before she tried it on). And it fits very well. Thanks to the Duncans for the sweet gift!








With love,
Shelly, Doug and Ava
