We're Home

Wednesday, August 29, 2007 Well, we have been home for 2 weeks. I can’t believe it. Sorry for the late update, but I tried twice, once I got home and once again had computer problems, so I gave up until now. Macy is doing so good. You would think she as been with us her whole life. At the airport, Darrian looked at her and said hi baby girl and she smiled, went right to him and has been attached to him ever since. If he is around, she won’t let me do anything for her. She just gets sweeter everyday. Everything we do, she copies. Tonight she learned how to point her finger and say no. She is a little dancer. She is so funny when she dances. She can shake her head and move her hips from side to side. Carly taught her to hold up her hand to her mouth and act like she is singing into a microphone, when the radio is on. It is so cute. Everywhere we go, all eyes are on Macy. Everyone thinks she is so cute. Sunday at church, she was going up to everyone shaking there hands. She is so opposite of everything you hear about girls adopted from China. I am sure it is because she had a foster family. She loves the bath and water. She loves men, and does great riding in her car seat. Every time she uses the bathroom, she has to wash her hands and no one has to tell her to do so. She also loves to brush her teeth. WE could not have gotten a more perfect baby for our family. She has a doctors appointment Sept. 24 with the plastic surgeon for her cleft palate. So many people do not even notice that she has a repaired cleft lip and when they find out, they can’t believe how good it looks. She eats so great also. Everything I have heard about cleft palates is not true with her, for example, she eats anything and everything. She can eat chicken nuggets and pretzels. She can even suck out of a straw, and her palate is pretty severe. The day after we returned home, we found out Macy’s new mawmaw (my mom) has breast cancer. In fact, she just had surgery today and is still recovering in the hospital. She will also have to have radiation and chemo soon, so please remember her in your prayers. This will be our last update for a while. Our next update will probably be Macy’s 2nd birthday. Sept. 21. Thank you Mallory Marlin for Macy’s welcome home sign. It was beautiful. We loved it. Also thank you to everyone who signed our guestbook and followed our journey. It was so good to hear from everyone while I was in China. Thank you Joe and Jennifer for our beautiful website. We will treasure it forever and can’t wait to one day show it to Macy, so she can see how excited everyone was about her journey home.
