thank you for your prayers and emails. things have gone smoothly so far. we were at the civil affairs office until 5:30 or so and we just came back to the hotel. lee had to run and do just a bit more paperwork. I gave Mary Clare a bottle and she has finally gone to sleep. I know she is just so tired. Lianjiang is about 6 hrs or so away so they have been up for a long time and have been through so much. she has been very quiet, we have gotten a couple of small smiles but mostly soft, solemn puppy dog stares. she is smaller than I expected, not a chub at all. her cheeks are very smooshy though! her hair has grown some more we may have a mullet soon. as you can see she is a thumb sucker. she goes to both of us without a fuss and doesn't prefer one or the other. we cannot wait for you to meet her!
