November 9, 2010

We love , love this little girl!!! We are home now 7 months and Grace is doing great. She is the most affectionate and loving little girl. She loves to give tons of kisses and hugs and is especially crazy for her big sister Samantha. It’s amazing how well we have adjusted to this wonderful busy life.

Grace is now walking, talking, climbing and has the ability to completely WRECK a house in a matter of minutes! She is talking…ma ma, da dee, uncle, sam-ma, auntie, lola , good girl, Sunshine, Cody (our dogs) hot, good girl and lots of other words. She loves to dance and sing, ride her bicycle and run around the house with the dogs. She is so happy!
We had a great summer with all her cousins at the Bradbury pool and she enjoyed lots of BBQ’s. She loved July 4th and all the fireworks and took her first pony ride at the Apple Orchard where we went to pick apples and get pumpkins. Grace loved Halloween and Trick a Treating. She was so adorable going door to door with Samantha.

Grace was also baptized this month. Aunt Laura and our Nephew Joseph are her Godparents. We celebrated with a big party. All her cousins and close friends were there and she danced and melted everyone with her beautiful smile. Paul and I and her big sister Samantha are truly blessed.

November 10th Grace is scheduled to have her cleft lip repaired. We thought it would be best to wait a bit before we had the surgery but now I wish we did it already and it was over. She will need to stay overnight and I will stay with her. Her doctor expects her to do very well and in only 5 days her stitches will be removed. Please keep Grace in your prayers and I will certainly post an update as soon as I can.

It’s amazing, all those years we were sad, waiting, waiting and waiting for our daughter – over 4 years of waiting and now we are grateful for the wait. Zhang Qi Song – our little Angel whose picture and name we saw for the first time last October 9 2009 was meant to be our daughter, sister and we were meant to be her parents. Two beautiful daughters that Paul and I love so much. We will forever be thankful for God’s blessings.

Beautiful Grace
