I was quietly eating my lunch at my desk when I began hearing strange sounds. Squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak… At first I thought “who keeps squeezing a dog’s chew toy over and over again. How annoying.” But then I remembered the story of Courtney Mei’s new shoes. I immediately got up and followed the squeaky sounds down the hall to find Brian, his wife Dawn, and little Courtney Mei visiting the station. I blogged earlier about Brian and Dawn’s trip to China to adopt Courtney Mei two weeks ago. Brian came back to work this Monday and this is the first time we’re getting to meet Courtney Mei in person. Very cute.
I normally wouldn’t have blogged about this, however, as I was talking to Brian, Dawn put Courtney Mei down on the ground and she ran over to me and grabbed my leg. I kneeled down to say hello to her and she immediately wrapped her arms around me and gave me a big hug. Brian tried to snap a photo but wasn’t quick enough. Courtney Mei had never seen me before but kids just always like me for some reason.
Updated 6/25/07: Added this photo of Courtney Mei staring at me, a few minutes before she gave me a hug.
