The week before we went on vacation, Josie attended a four-day heritage camp sponsored by the Families for International Adoptions.
What a fantastic experience.
Our rental cottage has always conflicted with the date of this particular camp, but luckily we were able to postpone our cottage by a week and Josie was able to attend.
On the last day of camp, the children were encouraged to wear clothing representative of their country for the closing ceremonies. Over 385 children attended this year's camp. Truly unbelievable.
Yes. I had tears.
We love you so very much, Miss Josephine Xue!

What a great opportunity for Miss Josie!
Love the family picture! So nice Josie could attend camp!
Your new header picture is terrific!
Stay cool!
That makes us all get a little teary. What a fabulous camp for all of these precious children. And what a blessing they are to you all. Sweet Josie is all smiles!
Che magnifica manifestazione, non ne conosco di simili qui in Italia!
È bellissimo lo spirito che le pervade: festeggiare l'integrazione pur rimarcando la specificità e la peculiarità di ciascuna provenienza, stupendo!!!
How wonderful for Josie to have this experience! Good for you for arranging your schedule to allow for it to happen! xo Nellie
I loved it when the kids went to Korean Culture Camp here, MN has the highest number of Korean adopted kids in the US. We had over 700 kids in K-6 programs. Terrific opportunity for Josie to meet lots of little friends who look like her!

Your love of family is an inspiration! I am a bit teary...not the only one I'm sure...when I read all the things you do to make Josie's life one of amazing opportunities. I'm sure she knows how much you love her! =D
Josie truly does have the cutest smile ever! Her photos are always such a delight! You can tell that she is always having fun!
Kim, I was enjoying an evening looking through early posts that I had not read before and was moved to read about your family's journey in adding this very special little girl to your lives. You can see the joy she brings to you all in your smiling faces. What a wonderful post this is! Elizabeth
