Finally...pictures of our precious girl!!

Wednesday, November 5, 2008


This is our first glimpse of Grace, in the hotel conference room.













Here she is after right after she was given to us. Not too happy!!













She went right to sleep that night and slept all night.



The next day brings a few smiles!

She loves jumping down the stairs at the Miao village (I will post some pictures of this incredible place on a different post).

Our family (with all of us smiling!) at the Miao village.




Today has been an incredible day! We've been playing and laughing and right now, Grace is walking around the room, fully content. She is singing, trying on sunglasses, eating snacks, taking the kleenex out of the plastic bag and being a regular happy 4 year old.
We had a chance to meet Grace's nannies yesterday and she would not go to them. She clung to me and cried until we left the room. Ever since that point, she has been a changed little girl. She is all smiles and happiness. She seems to clearly know that she belongs to us, and we belong to her. God is good!!!
Sorry. Not all of the pictures line up with the captions. You know that I'm not great with computers!

Oh Sarah, just look at Grace's smiles! She is a changed little girl from those first couple of pictures! My heart is singing with joy!

The family picture is beautiful, seven SMILES together at last! (Or in Grace's case one big grin!) I love it! God is good!

Thank you so much for sharing!


Blessings to China~

We are so excited for all of you! It was such a blessing to hear that she clung to you when she saw her nannies and that she has realized that YOU are hers and she is yours!!

She is adorable. What a smile. You are blessed. I forgot to tell your our #2 daughter is from Guizhou Province also. We have seen those monkeys. Did you guys go to the waterfall. It was fabulous!! The monkeys were quite the characters.
