Final moments in Jiangxi.... Hard to believe!!!!
Thank you to this city for bringing us our PRECIOUS girl.
She loves the stacking cups Jenny got her! Thank you...
Girls playing with Daddy!
Girls running the halls and being silly.
Happy girl playing with Daddy.
Bekah with Melissa from our adoption agency, America World.
This is a very slow intersection in Jiangxi. Didn't get a good pic of the traffic yet.
That is the smog here people.... Terrible Huh???
Bekah and Merilee have been having such a great time together!!!
Bekah so likes to help and Leah doesn't really like it.
Brushing my hair. Happy MaMa!!!
She LOVES the bath. SO opposite from Bekah...
I just loved this picture. That is the smile we see all the time!!!
Praise the Lord...
The girls have been doing good. Leah still doesn't like Bekah touching on her and she has tantrums every time you take something away from her. I mean, throw yourself down and head back tantrums. I look forward to those ending soon. I still cannot believe how tiny she is. I met a one year old today and she was as big as our 19 month old. Crazy!!! The doctor back home said she was surprised at how well she was walking since she is so tiny and probably malnurished.
She is opening up to us more and more and her adorable personality is coming through. I love for our guide to talk to her in Chinese cause it is so fun to see her react to him and answer him with a nod or a gesture or a response. It makes me feel good. She will catch on in no time.
Hope you enjoyed the pictures. I am praising God for all our time adjusting with Leah, so far so good. His grace has been upon us and I wouldn't have been able to do this without His mercies!!! Leah does take to me, so please pray that she bonds more with Daddy. They are getting there though.
We need to get up early once again since our flight is early. So until Guangzhou.... Love, Pete, Dawn, Bekah and Leah

Okay the girls with matching outfits... What a great idea so cute
Hey Dawn,
Sorry it has taken me so long to post. Leah is just beautiful. I am so happy for you and your family. I am excited to meet up with everyone this afternoon. Blessings to you and your family,
Love, Djuna
Hey guys!
Just enjoying watching little Leah blossom and big sis have fun with her new little sister. Love all the photos of the matching outfits..very cute.
Love to you.
Heidi
the pictures are fantastic. leah seems to be quite happy. it's always nice when the bbies take to their mommies, so good job dawn.
as for jazzy, she might be expecting a bit better technique on the rough housing if you are to win her over. i noted poor technique in some of the pictures, to include an unconvincing snarl/smile or whatever the facial expression was. the child is probably confused. you might as well start toughening her up in any event, as i always like fresh meat for the wrestling mat.
and good job to chip and jan---sounds like you guys are the current mvp's of the trip.
keep up the good work----

So much love there while we send you bunches of love from here.
Can't wait to see you all safe, rested and happy back in Cincy!
Dawn--Leah is adorable! Rebekah looks like she's going to be the best big sister! We are so happy to hear that all is well and that you are finally together & headed home soon.
So cute!!! :) They're at the White Swan. I'm not sure what room number yet, though. I think they're getting there right about now. Here's their cell while in China: 13439880952 and their email is: cs4creation@yahoo.com
