Our First Full Day!






Wow! We are blessed. Molly is happy, giggly, polite, and a super traveler. After 18 hours of travel time we arrived home to a yard full of balloons, flags, and friends! Molly got out of the car with a huge smile and said Hello to everyone she was introduced to, "Hello Hannah, Hello Grace, Hello Lilly..." and kept saying "Thank you. Thank you." in her sweet voice that we love soooo much! What a fun welcome home present!
She slept all night in her new bed and spent the day hanging with her new family. Puzzles, dollhouse, piano, DS games, and a walk outside to find 'treasures' with her sisters and a friend were just a few of the highlights. Dinner tonight was full of laughter. She loves to mimic our different laughs and her eyes just shine as she does it. :) Tonight she spent time teaching us how to say snow in mandarin...not quite sure we mastered that one yet but she is very patient with the same shining eyes!

  1. She definetly has the joy of the Lord in her heart! So happy your first day went well. I walked past your street today and said a little prayer for her. So thankful that the Holy Spirit lives inside of her and praying that he comforts her during her transition. Love, Julie

  4. Awesome pictures. I am so happy for your family and even more excited to go to China. Praying for our LOA and following paperwork. We are only 30 days out from LOI/dossier log in and we are dying to bring our daughter home!

  6. Your whole family looks so happy. Skyping will have to be part of the equation until we meet her face to face. Love you guys.
