Ellie!!!!!!
















Today 9-16-2008 is the official day Ellie joined our family. So far it has gone incredibly smooth. She smiles,laughs,plays, and is calm. Lilly on the other hand is a live wire! Fulton is being a great big brother and everybody is doing fine and having a great time.

Jan & David,
I don't know if you have heard of this family or not but there is a family in Kunming right now and their daughter is a heart baby. She is in the hospital there and they are trying to get her out. They call her Susannah. Her Chinese name is An YanWen. They are with AWAA. This is their blog.

I know that you of all people might have some advice for them. They are so very scared for their daughter. Maybe you can ask your guide if they have heard about her.

Brings back memories of your trip to bring home Lilly.
