We have our sweet girl and she is just so precious and adorable. The first hour was very difficult as she wanted nothing to do with us, but after we got back to the hotel and the kids started playing with her and after we got out the M-n-M's she warmed up quite a bit and has just done so well. Now that it is getting close to bedtime she is starting to struggle a little bit again. She says all kinds of chinese words which is so cute and she repeats things the kids say. She has already said Aly, Austin and Parker-it's so funny! The pictures below are of our first day with her. The pictures of her in the yellow are when we very first got her and then the rest of the pictures we took throughout the afternoon after she warmed up some. I just can't believe she ours...

If you have that tracking thing on your blog and wonder where this is coming from, I'm Jana B's mom. She shared about your exciting trip for your new little one. Congratulations at finally having your daughter in your arms. I read all your posts to learn more about how God worked this miracle.
ReplyDeleteI'm praying for her little heart to grow more and more at peace, as she interacts with you and your kids. Having them along will help "distract" her from the fact that she suddenly has all new "caregivers". Our kids were all older (twice 4yr olds, 10yrs old, and 11yrs old)when they came home. They each dealt with their losses different, from needing to be peeled off their caretaker, to needing to be tapped on the shoulder to remind them of a goodbye hug, to crying everytime we tried to go out in public with them in Guatemala. Your little one will have her own way of adjusting to all that's new in her world, as will your family. Enjoy, enjoy.
What an amazing trip you are on. I know it will forever be emblazoned in your memory!
