China





Our trip to China was good. It was really hot and humid. Picture getting dressed, and then going and standing in the shower. Yes, that hot. Man did I sweat in places that I didn't know a human being could sweat in!

Now I know what it feel like to wet ones self and then sit down- squish. The only comfort I had was knowing that everyone else was experiencing the very same thing. So that wet butt of mine was in a sea of wet butted poeple. Thank goodness it dried fast.

Gotcha day was a flurry of emotions for both Scott and myself. We flew in the wee hours of Sunday August 5th to Chongqing China. When we arrived, our guide told us that our babies were on their way to our hotel and we should be seeing them in a few short hours. So off to the hotel to unpack, wrap gifts, and get prepared for Grace. We sat in our hotel room waiting and trying to remain calm. The call came an hour after we expected. We were the first family sown in the lobby and had the fist glimps of those 8 little angels. All of them were sitting on couches in the lobby. Grace was just hanging out watching everyone go by. We were afraid we wouldn't know which baby she was- but those cheeks and lips gave her away! None of the babies cried when they were handed to their parents. It was perfect.

Here we go!


It has been requested or dare I say demanded by a few people that I start a blog so that those family and friends across the country and globe can check in and see the latest pictures and happenings of miss Grace. So here we go.

I will probably start by posting a few pictures of our trip to China- just to set the mood. Then just move on to home life and the silly things my little girl does. She is pure joy to have in our lives. Even when she is screaming because she does not want to get dressed, or be put down for 2 minutes so I can get a glass of water. Other than that- just perfect. Sleeping through the night since we got her, eating everything we give her ( except for a piece of canned pear in China which she choked on and then proceeded to vomit up with her formla in the restaurant)

So check back every once in a while to see the latest. I will do my very best to log on every few days to do updates!!
