These are a few extra pictures that we just had to add! She and Baba are working on exchanging kisses which had her laughing hysterically. The next one is her sweet friend from the orphanage. They were comparing their orange drinks. We think he won because his was bigger! The last is Grandma (who Jodi is now calling Nye Nye) saving the day at the Great Wall with Jelly Bellies. Jodi was very upset that she had to leave her new pink backpack on the bus. Incidentally, she absolutely loves pink and is such a girly girl! Mama is loving that. Love to you all and God bless.

ReplyDeleteThanks for taking the time to share all of these precious memories with us! We have been following you each day, but just created our account. Riley will definitely be excited to send her own personal note tomorrow! You all seem to be adjusting well together. It would not be a normal day in our house without a good meltdown or two, especially when it comes to toys, naps or food! Have fun and we can not wait to see you. We love you!

Michael thinks that those sunglasses make Fred look like Roy Orbison, has anyone asked you for an autograph yet?!?
I was viewing the blog with Keith on my knee earlier, showing him pictures of Jodi. We came to the one of she and he with the drinks and he just laughed uncontrollably. He wouldn't let me read the rest of the blog.
