We cannot believe our eyes!! She is absolutely precious! In some of the pictures Tim and I both commented about how she reminds us of Karis. And love the hair! (as I know Karis does too) and potty trained?? Wow! We are so excited for you guys.
She is so beautiful!~ Ashley responded to Jay the exact same way...it will take lots of time but she will soon be a daddy's girl! Love you guys can't wait to see this baby girl open up!
We are so excited for you finally getting to see and hold Emily in your arms! We are praying for you and look forward to meeting her! God is Good! Greg, Mary Anne, Sarah,and Jacob
Beeeeutifuuuullll!!!! Hang in there dad, it takes a little time (but I'm sure when she sees all the other chinese girls reactions to you, she'll jump right in!!!) lol Bobbie
So precious! Sharing in your joy of having her with you finally! Abby reacted to Monte the same way - it was about a week after we were home that she completely bonded with him - and now she's definitely a daddy's girl. So very happy to see you guys together :)
We check every day to see your pictures and read about your experiences. Many tears of joy for you and for Emily! What blessing for all of you! Can't wait to meet her "in person!" Jan & John T.
