At Home Day 6

No new pictures but just a little to write about Lily. Today was our daughter Emily's Gotcha Day so we told Emily we would take her out to dinner and she could pick the restaurant. Emily picked a Chinese food restaurant we have been going to. We ordered Emily's favorite, soft noodles with veggies plus several other dishes. Lily ended up eating like a horse! She loved the soup, she slurped it up like it was going out of style. She figured out how to use chopsticks to eat her noodles and she shoveled the beef and chicken into her mouth like she was back at home. Then, at the end of dinner the waitress brought over some ice cream, Lily loved it! The ladies at the restaurant tried to speak to her in Mandarin but she would only respond by pointing or acknowledging yes or no. She seems to get pretty shy around strangers, at least for the first few minutes. Anyway, we believe we've found Lily's favorite restaurant too.


Also, I took Lily with me to work to pick up my paycheck. Of course everyone wanted to meet her. At first she acted very shy and didn't interact much but within 5 minutes or so she was giving high-fives and blowing kisses to people. She really is quite a social little one. We are sure that God is going to use this quality for His purposes sometime in the future, much like her sister. To have two outgoing daughters was not what we expected God to give us, but, His plans and purposes are far above our own. Our logic was that God would not give us TWO outgoing girls but we don't know His plans for them, only He does.
