A dear fellow orphanage group friend and fellow blogging friend, Heather, is in China right now adopting her daughter who was the next bedmate and friend of my daughter. She sent me several new pics of our daughter with her friends. (and a couple of older pics that were given to her by the orphanage). What a blessing and a joy to receive these! How wonderful of her to do this for us. She also has video she will send later!!!!
Look at that sweetest face ever! hmmm... I see Mickey Mouse on those bed sheets. I happen to know him personally. I will have to set up a meeting eventually. :)
Tiny little hands. So precious. My friend said she is very little but bright, lively and healthy. She will probably wear size 18 months, (she's 3 1/2) when we travel for her.
Looks like she really loves her friend. Look how she is squeezing her, LOL! That is the daughter of another group friend. We will all hope to keep in touch.
I love to see her here just having genuine fun and laughter and not looking too serious or apprehensive. Xi Hua is the one in the middle with her arm up.
Just happy fun!
This photo is a little older. She is holding the blue cup.
This is older too. Xi Hua is in the front eating the fruit. What a sweetie. I hate that I am missing those baby years.
OH my gosh those pictures are AMAZING! wow to see her smile and happy, I know not as happy as she will be, but she looked so so sad int he other photo's, at least here you can see her interact and have fun with other kids. Can't wait for you to get her home!
ReplyDeleteWell I hadn't been having anymore commenting problems but now i don't knwo if mine went thru or not. If not again AMAZING pictures, love to see her smiling happy and playing with other kids. You can see her personality. she looked so sad in the other pictures its nice to see her smile. can't wait until you get her home and she relaly starts smiling.
ReplyDeleteOh WOW !!!! What a cutie and so full of personality ! I know you are so happy to see your little girl all smiles. We never had a picture of Maggie smiling and I think it would have made me so relieved to see her happy.

As soon as Isaiah (Dong Ji) wakes up from his nap, I'm going to show him these pictures to see what his reaction is. :) I'm sure he'll be so excited!

ReplyDeleteSo precious! What a joy it will be to finally have her home with you!
ReplyDeleteI love the pictures! Makinley is in one of the videos that your sweet one is in. It is so fun watching the videos and being able to pick out children that you know are going home.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to follow your trip to China.
She's beautiful! I can't wait to see pictures of her finally home =)
ReplyDeleteGreat photos, Annie! It will be wonderful to get her home. Our last two weeks have been extremely challenging, but oh so worth it!
ReplyDeleteThese pictures are so precious!! She is such a happy little person, I love her already!! Can't wait to see pictures with you holding her!!!
ReplyDeleteI just feel like many of the expressions on Xi Hua's face are ones I've seen on your face too!!!!! So funny and silly and then pensive. Wonderful Wonderful.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful to get new photos of your precious girl!!! I just received an email from a Dutch family that I've been in contact with through email that also adopted twins from Zhongshan City. They were adopted a few months before our Maylie. They just went back to China to adopt again. (different province) but they went to visit Z SWI. They had lunch with a young lady named "Maggie". She takes some of the kids on the weekends. She used to take the twins and Maylie. I wonder if she knows your girl? My email is lwillette@gmail.com I can send you photos or get in contact with Maggie and ask her if you'd like. Also we are adopting again too!
ReplyDeletehope your ears are burning....cuz we're all wondering if you got your TA yet!!!!
