Love that look!
Love those smiles!!!
Sweet girl.
Happy girl outside and walking around!
Leahs orphanage. I have seen this picture so many times, hard to believe it was our turn to take it!!!
Blowing kisses. She loves to do that to tell us she is ready to go bye bye.
Leahs Nanny. So happy to see Leah.
Our wonderful Guide Koby... he LOVES our girls!!!
Caroline is the other baby.
Playing under the crib.
Bekahs first big girl shower. She Loved it!!
Letting Nana feed her.
Daddy having to carry both girls.... yay for Grandpa carrying the stroller. Looks like a workout!
A show they got to see. Apparently it was very loud!
Love this picture!!!!
Check out Leah's face. She does not like being in a stroller. She wants to be out and walking!!!
So......
Happy Leah walking, happy Bekah not walking!!! ;-)
She is a hungry girl that is for sure and blows kisses when she wants to leave. It is sooooo cute. She even handed me her shoe after blowing me a kiss once. She LOVES LOVES to walk around and walk the stairs. She needs help still a little, but she is doing great. Bekah is loving on her a little, but Leah doesn't care for it much. So, she has backed off a little. I so hope they like to play together when we get home. Leah does NOT like to share, so that should be interesting. She throws her head back and has a tantrum. Good times.
They are sleeping through the night, PTL, and that means so are we pretty much. So things are better on that front. Enjoy the pictures. Please keep the prayers up for a smooth transition into our next trip. We fly out to Guangzhou on Sat. Can't hardly believe we are almost to the last part of our journey!!! YIPPEE>.........

YEAH ... its sounds like things are going just beautifully for all of you and that Leah is getting familiar with her family and structure! You are so blessed with big sister Bekah being there for her new little sister. Ava and I have enjoyed looking at picture of our new friend, Leah, this morning!!
Love ya!

That's wonderful that you went to the orphanage. Now you can share what you saw,smelt and felt with her when she is older.
I can't stop smiling Dawn! She is absolutely adorable!!!
Dawn...
I love the blog. It is so much fun to get to experience this with you!! I love the seeing all of the pictures. Leah is so adorable and Bekah looks happy to have a sister. The pics are all wonderful but I especially like the one of Bekah's big girl shower..that is hilarious. She looks like she is having a great time. How does Bekah like China? Well take care and keep sharing. Congrats to you and your whole family!!!
Lots of love ...Leslie
Dawn,
You all look so fabulous...and so great that your parents could go and help out! I'm so excited for you all...you are a family of 4 now!
Love it.

Dawn,
Things look like they are going so well~ I'm so happy for you guys!
We had some trouble with Kate and AC at the beginning. AC was all over Kate, and she didn't like it a bit. Things slowly improved over the first month or so home. Kate became more tolerant of AC and AC learned to back off. Your girls will get things figured out, too. I won't say mine always play together happily, but they've got a good "working relationship"!

Dawn, you are so amazing - thank you so much for keeping up this website so that we can all share in your joy even if we can't be there with you. What beautiful pictures - I LOVE the one of Bekah in the shower! What a cutie! Some people fly all the way to China to see the Great Wall, and some do it for the great showers! ;)
Much love and many kisses from all of us,
Randi, Joe and Max (who cannot wait to meet his new cousin!)
I have been following along on your trip and am a friend of Petrie...so glad you have eachother.
You girls are both adorable...thanks for sharing your trip. It is like a trip down memory lane for me~
Hi Dawn! I've been thinking about you and hoping your trip is going smoothly. Thank you for posting all the adorable pictures and keeping us in the loop! Leah is precious. And once you're home and settled in, you will love watching your daughters grow and play together. It's amazing! Hoping the remainder of your stay is great and that your trip home is uneventful! Love, Heidi
Dawn, I'm so glad to hear the good reports and updates! I know every day will get a little better....
sleep is HUGE, so I"m praising God that you are all getting better sleep now!
Leah is just so stinkin' cute (as Claire would say!), and I love the pic of Beks in the shower!! Too cute.
Thanks for the updates, can't wait for the next one.
Love you all!
Becki
