Gotcha Baby!




We have her!!! It has been a long and amazing day. We started out at Beijing airport where Toby lost his boarding pass at security. He then ran back to get a new one while I ran to the gate with all of our carry ons. (After a brief misunderstanding with a security officer.) When we got to the White Swan our room wasn't ready for another 45 minutes. By the time we got to our room we had one hour to get ready to get Eliza.

She is amazing. She is very alert and looks around constantly to see everything. She smiles easily and has even laughed. We are having trouble getting her to eat but I am sure that will come with time. Thank the Lord that she is well. She does have a cough and a runny nose so please pray she will recover well. We will post more tomorrow. Until then enjoy the pictures.

Praise God! She looks just like you! I laughed at Toby's pointing to his jacket and t-shirt, just a few subliminal messages...too good.

Talked to Emma today...she's updating her classmates with "Dad and Mom are with Eliza now" and a sparkle in her eye. We'll continue to pray for your time there.

Praise the Lord!! You all look so natural together and I think I see Daddy already wrapped around her little finger!! We will continue to pray as you look forward to coming home.
