End of Gotcha Day!






Well, she is a doll. She smiles and laughs most all of the time. I've never seen such a happy baby..she must know she is going to be an American! Jianxgi is the REAL China experience. We can't wait to get to the White Swan! We saw a funeral out on the sidewalk yesterday~it's quite different here.


Ellie has been great with Emma. Emma just adores her and lights up whenever she comes around. Ellie is wonderful with her and has done all of the feedings, but one!! Emma is a thumb sucker and has 2 teeth coming in. Some of the others in the group are running fevers and have other minor problems, but Emma is great. She does have a bad rash on her head and face, but it seems to be getting better. She was layered in so many clothes I think she has a heat rash. All of the babies have horrible diaper rash. We hope that in a few days all of these minor problems will be cleared up.


We are pretty tired and are hoping that she will sleep well tonight since she didn't sleep all day! She is just taking it all in. She is very curious and alert.


Happy Birthday Aunt Judy and Marybeth!


We can read your commnets in Jianxgi! We can finally see the blog!


We miss you all and AMERICA! We don't realize how lucky we are!!!

Hi Emma,
You are a smart little girl. You planned your Gotcha Day on my Birthday. We will be able to celebrate together.
I bet your big sister, Ellie, is a big help to you and your Mom and Dad. She is a great young lady and will be a tremendous help to you as you grow up.
Can't wait to meet you.
Love,
Aunt Judy
