Pictures from the hotel






We had so much fun with the kids this afternoon. She loved her chicken from KFC and shared with us all...she even tried to drink the BBQ sauce. She'll do fine in Texas! It's hard to publish only a few pictures. I hope to figure out the video, so you can hear her laugh. Her voice is so deep...I love it! Isaiah loves being a big brother and is helping her learn the ropes. On the way back from dinner he said, "It's so cute having two sisters." I wish I had the picture Shannon took of Emma laying her head on her Baba's shoulder. It's so precious. Tomorrow we visit the orphanage. I'll be posting pictures along with Shannon for you, Cynthia and Peggy. The children are sooo well prepared to meet their families and yours will be home soon.

Blake & I loved seeing the first "family" pictures.I'm sure the orphanage wanted her "spic & span" to meet her new family, thus the short haircut-smile! She is so adorable & we will be counting the days until all of you are home. Love, Mom

I am so excited also that you two got to travel together!!! I don't think Peggy and I will manage that, but it would be nice, huh?? I will keep dreaming!

Please email me and let me fix your header on your blog!! I am going to pester you forever about this, because I want it to look as perfect as your new baby girl!!!
Much love from Oregon,
