What we Like







I am so in love with this baby she is every thing I have always dreamed about. Today I called her Jingchu and she shook her head NO and I said Annalise and she smiled. She can say Anney, Mamma and Law Low. She loves it when I brush her hair and dress her in a pretty dress. Today we went to the Zoo and it was like taking a bath in your own sweat, it was so hot. After a good rest we went for a swim and out to dinner. She loves to go out and loves her baby today she gave her baby to Will and and bottle to me. I guess you know now who is in charge of what. She will take her bottle in the am and the pm and loves her sippy cup with the soft nipple. Tomorrow we start the Amarican paperwork to get back into the US.

How is she sleeping at night? Does she sleep in the crib? She looks so comfy and content in your arms-just as if she's always been there!

Pretty dresses - Yes. So she loves being primped upon by mommy. Lucky you, not always the case.
And... I love how you are so patient with her and follow her lead, doing things she can be successful doing, helping her grow even more confident in herself and your love and reliability. She is safe and loved and certainly Well Dressed.

It looks like everything is going so well. I'm thinking that all those smiles were worth the wait. You were waiting for her, and she was waiting for you. I love checking in each day and seeing the beautiful pictures of the two of you together. So far, this one with the bottle and a close-up of the pic of the two of you face to face in the pool are winning a spot for first place in my heart.
I love you,
Mish

OH Paulette!!!! She is just gorgeous! I am so thrilled for all of you. I know that you will be able to look back on this time years down the road and remember all the wonders that you have seen and experienced. I know that you cannot wait to get home to share her with the rest of your family and all your "buds" here!!!!
Try to rest a bit or you have a big trip ahead of you!

We are so excited to see how she is coming around - Bryce wants to see her and can't wait.

Savannah says hi and can't wait to meet her either. I took pictures up to her on my keychain. Camp was great and exhausting!

Enjoy this bonding time together and take care. We will keep watching and praying for you all. Say Hi to Will!

Lettski,
I'm very happy and excited for you.
I have two questions, when does Annalise get her first mountain bike and when are we taking her to Moab. Just thinking towards the future.
I love you cousin and Will.
Please give Annalise hugs and kisses from Tommy and family.
