Today is the day the Chinese culture celebrates the Mid-Autumn Festival, or moon festival. Chinese legend says that the moon shines brightest on this day, and this is the day that families are gathered to celebrate their life together (like our traditional Thanksgiving).
This year, we decided to celebrate alone. After having our dinner (yes, we had Chinese food), we waited until dark and went out and lit a fire in the firepit. We sat out for about a half an hour watching the fire, and enjoying the bright moonlight. We were each lost in our own thoughts.
My thoughts were of the promise that one day our daughter will be sitting outside with us watching the fire and the bright moonlit sky. I'm not sure what Bob was thinking, but he was very quiet and serious. Even Shania sat quietly for a little while ~~ until she discovered the acrons on the patio!
Afterwards, we came inside and shared the Pig Mooncake that Diana had shared with Bob.
My hope is that the Gods above are watching us and hear our prayers for our baby girl ~~ whether she's already born or is yet to be born. Hopefully, the day will come sooner rather than later when we can fly to China to meet our precious bundle of joy and bring her home to make our family complete.

Oi, achei seu blog pelo google está bem interessante gostei desse post. Gostaria de falar sobre o CresceNet. O CresceNet é um provedor de internet discada que remunera seus usuários pelo tempo conectado. Exatamente isso que você leu, estão pagando para você conectar. O provedor paga 20 centavos por hora de conexão discada com ligação local para mais de 2100 cidades do Brasil. O CresceNet tem um acelerador de conexão, que deixa sua conexão até 10 vezes mais rápida. Quem utiliza banda larga pode lucrar também, basta se cadastrar no CresceNet e quando for dormir conectar por discada, é possível pagar a ADSL só com o dinheiro da discada. Nos horários de minuto único o gasto com telefone é mínimo e a remuneração do CresceNet generosa. Se você quiser linkar o Cresce.Net(www.provedorcrescenet.com) no seu blog eu ficaria agradecido, até mais e sucesso. (If he will be possible add the CresceNet(www.provedorcrescenet.com) in your blogroll I thankful, bye friend).
