Today was our busiest day yet. Although it also held 2 special events...
Emmeline MeiTong Dean is officially ours!!
You have 24 hours to decide if you want to keep your child. We signed our papers and made her a permenant member of our family.
and this guy turned 12!!!
He told us on the bus that this was the best birthday present ever. We are so proud of the young man he has become. Since the day was so busy we are celebrating him tomorrow on our free day!
This afternoon we went with another family to Kaifeng 1.5 hours away. This is the town that Emme was from. We had to apply for her passport. She slept the whole way there and was great on the return trip.
Elsa has waited a long time for this.
Our little baby doll!
Happy Birthday Mitchell. What a great birthday you will always remember. Elsa looks like a big sister standing next to Emme, it makes Elsa look so much bigger.

ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU for correcting BlogSpot address. Grandpa and I are thrilled to see even more photos. Lots of love to Mitchell on his 12TH Birthday, one I remember so well for myself. It sure doesn't take you guys long, i.e., matching pj's for the two sisters. We love that our grandchildren are so welcoming to their youngest sister. They make us very proud, as do you all.
