Things are really going well. Eli and Sophia seem like they have been together all of their lives. They are truly brother and sister. Sophia answers to both her American and Chinese names. She seems very comfortable with us. Last night she brushed my hair. And she is very free with her kisses. She still can be a little stand-offish with Baba/Tim, but she is growing more and more affectionate with him too.She has had two temper tantrums. One last night and another the night before. They were both near bedtime when she was tired and when she couldn't have something her way. Let me tell you...the girl can belt it out.
The people here have been very kind to us. Today we went to the Summer Palace. I'll post those photos soon. Tomorrow is our last day in Beijing and then we are off to Guangzhou.

YES HE IS!!!!
What an incredible answer to prayer you have witnessed (you've LIVED!). I'm so happy for you that Sophia has decided to make this life leap into the great unknown and fully invest herself into her new family. How wonderful that Eli finally has his mei mei and the you have your little Fancy Nancy girly girl (I get such a kick out of her accessories!). Oh, the fun our three girls will have with the dress up box!
I can't wait to talk to you about your experience in the Summer Palace - one of my favorite places we visited during our trips to China.
How about a shot of all four of you?
glad things are so good, and its really wonderful she had a tantrum, she is getting comfortable enough to throw her weight around;)
She is so pretty,I love her smile so much.
Greetings, sweet RMJ!
What a wonderful surprise in my comment box; it was so kind of you to take time to visit.
I must confess I have been watching you and your family from afar; lurking in the wings, ruminating on what I would like to say so that I could convey truly what was in my heart...
My heart is full for you as I watch the beauty of your daughter unfold. I am in awe. You look beautiful in the pictures with Sophia and it is a privilege to be able to watch as your soul illuminates your face with the light of peace.
Godspeed.
