Meeting cousin Lisa!

At the end of July my aunt Marty flew from California with her newly (2 months) adopted Russian daughter, Lisa. Lisa is just a month and a half older than Ashlyn. It was so fun to meet Lisa and to see her and Ashlyn play together. They bonded almost immediately! It was so fun--we went to a garage sale and found a swim suit that matched the one I had packed for Ashlyn, so the girls had matching suits. Ashlyn stayed the weekend at my parents' house so that she and Lisa could maximize their time together. They would hold hands, hug, kiss, giggle and run around together. Ashlyn came home on Sunday night, then we got together with my mom, Marty and Lisa again on Tuesday to play at the mall. When Ashlyn and Lisa saw each other again, they got so excited and went right in for a hug. So cute! It'll be so fun to watch these two girls grow up together :)
