Gotcha Day!

Gotcha Day!
















First Dinner With Us!
















Such A Doll!


















After a 2 hour flight from Beijing to Nanchang, we finally got to meet our little Jenna today. During the plane ride, the flight attenants all wanted to take pictures with Madison - she is s bit star now.

At first, Jennna cried a little when I took her from the Director, but it didn't take her long to settle down. Once we gave her a bottle with water in it, she was fine. Unfortunately, she wouldn't let anyone else hold her, including her big sister and that caused some hurt feelings. But, after we all (me, rick, grammy and poppy) talked to Madison about how they attach and that it will take some time, she was somewhat okay.

After we left the Civil Affairs office, we went to Walmart to pick up some school supplies, clothes and toys for the kids at the orphanage as well as formula since I didn't bring any with me. She was holding on to me for dear life the entire time we were at Walmart.

After returning to the hotel, we had approximately one hour to freshen up and get downstairs for supper. During that one hour, Jenna warmed up to Madison and held her arms up to Madison to carry her - that just made Madison's day. She carried Jenna on her hip until we got to our table. She is such a good big sister. Jenna was not really interested in the formula but loved the conjee and watermellon the waitresses brought to her. While eating her conjee she became a comedian making faces at Madison while eating - she was so cute!


Tomorrow, we have to go back to the civil affairs office to more paperwork and then we can rest for a few days. We are all still having trouble with the jet lag.

Check out the new photos we posted of Gotcha Day.

Will post more tomorrow.
