The girls are really starting to relax and getting used to us- slowly but surely. We feel it's pretty healthy to see them grieve (at least a bit) at this difficult time for them, it shows they have bonded well at the orphanage. Of course we are doing all we can to comfort them while giving them their space and not being overbearing.
They will only go to mom and dad, which is good at least. Sophie is showing a preference for dad, "daddies little girl", while Sage prefers mom, but will go to both of us well.
They have been very serious and aware of everything around them. They are eating and sleeping great and opened up after dinner and started talking and playing with each other. We love seeing them relax and show their personalities.
Sophie seems to be the leader and Sage the protector, it's pretty early to determine this though. They are definately tough girls and although we feel they were cared for well at the orphanage, these girls have been through so much.
They gave Grandpa a kiss goodnight tonight. They are delightful girls and we are so pleased at how well they are doing!
We love China! This hotel has been great- wonderful service and great food! Our guides have been fabulous- Mary in Beijing and Connie here in Guangzhou.
I better go, we are paying 1 RMB per minute, plus the girls are waking up soon- they are up napping with grandma and grandpa.

If you get a chance, you can go to Blenz coffee house for free internet! If you take your camera cord, you can even upload pictures from there!
P/S Ryleigh could kiss when we got her, so someone at XinYi must have been teaching this. Our girls are so lucky to come from such a wonderful place!
Congradulations!
So glad to hear that things are going so well for your little beauties! God is so good!!!
Can't wait to see pictures!
