Professional Perspective on the Lang son girls

If you would like to see much nicer photos from the Saturday gathering of the girls from Eila's orphanage, please see Laura Prichett's website for the July 14, 2010 entry. If you are in the area, you will likely be tempted to hire her for a photo session :)

We did a DC sweat fest for the 4th of July with a fun metro ride with the cousins and Bindi-mami (aunt) and Michael-mama (uncle) down to the city and then hanging out on the lawn by the Capital with Lauren and Bart and baby Maxine. It was great to be with family and the girls loved it. Since then July has been busy with little gatherings- cousin Keya's 5th birthday party, Cimeren's 2nd birthday party, the Lang son girls gathering in Baltimore (we had 7 girls all together), and a visit from our wonderful friend Fengwu and her children Liyan and Edward (its been 6 years since we have seen them!) Eila got to learn a little bit of Chinese and make pizzas.
