Tonight we celebrated the Mid-Autumn Moon Festival by going out to dinner at a local Chinese restaurant with my dad. We also shared Chinese Moon Cake and good old fashioned Moon Pies with family.
As I looked up at the beautiful full moon tonight I thought about Lily's first family and foster family and thanked them from the bottom of my heart. I hope they know how eternally grateful we are for the choices they made and the care they took of our precious daughter. I wonder if they looked at the same beautiful moon and thought about our sweet Lily. I hope somehow they know that Lily is safe and happy and so incredibly loved...not only by her Mommy and Daddy...but by her extended family and friends, too. During this Mid-Autumn Moon Festival we truly have abundance and togetherness to celebrate!
Every night Tony and I read Lily the bed time story, I Love You, Goodnight. The ending of the story is especially appropriate tonight, "We love you like the moon at night - big and round and warm and bright. We love you, good night."

Now I want a moon pie! Adorable photos of Miss Lily-pie! I enjoyed talking to you too and wish I didn't have to go.
