GOTCHA DAY!!!



Here's Lily!!! She is the cutest and sweetest thing in the world!! No bias on our part at all! She cam walking into the building, she talks up a storm and has the most adorable face. As you can see she has wavy hair (she actually has hair!) and she was very loved by the Ayi's at the orphanage.
Right away she was smiling, laughing and kissing us. She called me Ba Ba and Christy Ma Ma. 
Emily and Lily hit if off right away. Emily had Lily laughing and playing with her. 

We took Lily to the hotel restaurant and she proceeded to make a huge mess at the table. She has a great appetite and eats just about anything you put in front of her. She if very good at communicating her wants and desires. It seems she's used to fighting for herself. When I put my hand in front of her so she couldn't grab at things, she pinched my hand, like, move it buddy!

I just put Lily down for a nap while Christy went to do paper work. She cried for two or three minutes then was out like a light. I hope and pray that she continues to do so well, we are just blown away at how well she is doing so far. 

I am confident that we can attribute a good part to everyone's prayers.

Dear Emily,
What a wonderful Big Sister you make! I loved seeing the pictures of you and Lilly. It looks like you've made a life long buddy! It also looks like you're having fun in China. The Great Wall is pretty big huh? And YOU look pretty small next to that HUGE door! I miss you so much....I can't wait to see you and your sister when you get back and to hear all your stories! Lots of Love and kisses, Mrs. B and Pastor Tim

Awesome...just awesome!! GREAT pics of Lily. I agree with everyone else's comments -- she is ADORABLE -- and even in the pictures she seems to have a lot of personality and you just want to pick her up and cuddle her... Couldn't be happier for you Jerry and Christy -- Congratulations!

She is beautiful not unlike her big sister. I'm so glad to see all the pictures. I'm glad to hear that Lily is a healthy little girl and very engaging. I look forward to meeting her and everyone's safe arrival back home. Enjoy the rest of your visit and get some rest.
Love, Aunt Jen
