We love our Girls!














These girls are so much fun!!
I knew girls would be fun, but these sweet sisters fit perfectly in our family and are loved dearly! They are adapting very well and we are seeing more and more smiles from them everyday. They truly do melt your heart.

We enjoyed the zoo today with some other adoptive families (funny though, we felt like we were on exibit, people watched us more then the animals)- Marcia w/ Anne, Wanda & Mike w/ Jolie Blu, Wendy & Greg with their adorable girl. Such neat families and their new daughters all seem to be doing great!

Sophie and Sage slept through the first half of the zoo (nap time) but enjoyed seeing the monkeys, tigers, and panda bear. Their big brothers had to take turns (to keep from hogging them) pushing them in the stroller and made sure they could see all the animals. What great big brothers they are. It is so nice seeing the girls interact with their new brothers, and of course the boys love it! They are also quickly getting used to their Grandma and Grandpa. In fact, Grandpa got the first kiss good night by Sophie. So sweet!

We loved seeing White Cloud Mtn. yesterday- it is so green and beautiful, and we are going to the Guangzhou Children's Amusement Park today, can't wait to see the girls on their first merry-go-round.

We love these girls immensly. They are so sweet and adorable! They can also be a bit naughty at times. We have to keep from laughing, or almost crying, as we watch them play with each other. They play so rough with each other at times, and think it's funny. They laugh as they are getting their hair pulled, pushing, pinching, & hitting each other. I know it is innocent, their whole life has been changed drastically in the last few days, and this must be a way to deal with it all. And I wonder if this is how they played in the orphanage, but we will turn them into little ladies. This may explain all the scrapes and scratches they came with. Three years is a long time to be in an orphanage, but they are doing very well!!! We love our tickle parties each night and they love chasing daddys lazer beam. They have the greatest laugh!
