We had a great day yesterday going back to the CCAA for family pictures and notary interview etc. We played in the room, the hotel playroom, and in the parks nearby.

Muggy and warm here. Jenna did so well with eating and moving around all day.

Very happy and go lucky and likes to see everything and try everything out. Don't want to show her something because then she wants to do it too!!!! Loving the stickers and coloring books. She loves her teddy bear and will snuggle with it. She has been doing well going back and forth between Kevin and myself. Throws kisses, smiles, and lots of waves. Learning a little English, but will definitely need speech therapy. Going to bed last night was the hardest thing thus far, as she cried and could just not settle down. Took about 2 hours to get it all worked out and finally go to sleep. The internet went down last night so we were not able to update the blog until this AM. . .sorry. . . more today.

Here are a few pictures from yesterday. We do not have anything until 3pm and then we will go to the police station for fingerprinting. So a day in the area here. Aunt Betty you would love the flowers!!!! We are off to breakfast for now.

  3. Congratulations! Your daughter is beautiful! We were in China in November, adopting our precious 4 year old daughter. She is our 5th child (3rd from China). Our 8 year old is from Guangdong Province.

    Blessings to your beautiful family!
