Red Couch pictures

I am putting some pictures up on Julia's bedroom wall and went though my photoshop files and raided my friend, Tracy's, blog to find some red couch pictures.

Families traveling to China have a tradition of taking a picture on one of the red couches at the White Swan Hotel. And so, the first picture here was taken on September 5, 2006, just before we left for home.
In 2007, the seven families who travelled to Nanchang for our children met in Indianapolis for our first reunion. One of our moms, Angela, brought yards of red velvet so that we could try once again to get a red couch picture.
This year, 2008, we were at Brown County State Park Lodge in Indiana and our red couch picture participants are definitely showing signs of maturity -- note Patra's cute little tongue sticking out. Two of our number were not able to attend this year, but we included their pictures on top of the couch.

That is so cool that you have a reunion with your travel group. Makes me kindof sad we traveled so completely alone! sherri
