Lily and Micah Hit it Off!
This is actually a make-up kiss, earlier Lily got mad at Micah for something he was doing and she sat there, holding up her little index finger waving it in Micah's face, scolding him in Chinese for something he did that she didn't like. Of course we were not able to capture it on video, but it was hilarious!
Lily is not quite sure what to think about this ball of fur that moves
Lily is starting to warm up to Ginger our dog. She actually asked to hold her!
We were very blessed by our sons and daughters-in-law who had cleaned the house, mowed the lawn, and did the laundry. Lauren & Aaron made us a welcome home sign, bought us groceries and dinner and brought balloons to welcome us back. Of course we were exhausted but we were also very happy to see everybody. Since we had used the iChat while we were in China Lily already recognized everyone, including Ginger. Lily seemed to warm up to everyone quite well. Of course, she is a very social little girl anyway.
We are still trying to adjust to the time change. It is difficult to switch back from day to night etc. Our first night Lily went to bed at 9:30 pm or so, then woke up at 11 something. We stayed up with her until 3am then she slept until 11 am! Please pray that we all quickly adjust back to California time.
Thank you all for your prayers for the plane trip home. We could not have endured as well as we did without them. After being awake for 22 hours your nerves get a little frazzled but because of your prayers we did pretty well.
We will continue to post pictures and update the blog for family and friends to view and especially for you waiting families. We know how hard it is to wait and wait and wait. We waited about 3 years for Lily. When we started this adoption the wait between log in and referral was only 5-7 months, boy did that change in a hurry! We were logged in in January 16th, 2006 and we got Lily September 1 2008. But, the wait is worth it!!!
