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, Ellie is beautiful!! Oh my word but I am just so happy for you!!!!
So glad that everything is going smoothly so far! Praise God!
I can't wait until the girls wake up so that they can see their new friend! :)
Looks like she is very, very close to the same size as Lilly. Can't wait to hear more about your new daughter.
Congratulations, Mama & Baba!
Fulton, you are always a great brother and I know you are going to be the same with Ellie! :)
Ellie Jean, we already love you just like we love your brothers and sisters!!! You have such a wonderful family. You just can't imagine how much love there is in this world for you. :)
I couldn't wait to get to the computer this morning! First I had to get the kids ready for school and I was hurrying them out the door! YOU HAVE ELLIE! Jan, I am so happy for you and your family. God is so good. I can not wait to hear more. So glad to hear Ellie is happy. I am praying the same for Cate. Love, Kim

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.
She is just beautiful!!! I love the picture where she is holding the doll and looking at her sister Lilly, precious. I am glad you have her in your arms now I couldn't wait to see your blog today when I got home. Can't wait to hear more.
