GOTCHA DAY!!!








Katie is so excited to be a big sister!!!




We flew in to Nanchang today around 3:00 pm. We were told the babies would be waiting for us at the hotel! Well, we all rushed to put our things in the room, and no babies! We had to wait what seemed like an eternity, but it was probably 20 minutes or so. Well, when they handed Ellie to us, she began to cry! She cried on and off for about 30 minutes, but when she got her first taste of Cheerios, all was well! She does have a terrible diaper rash, but we'll get that cleared up. She took to Katie right away. She follows her whenever she moves around the room. And if I do say so, she is already somewhat of a mama's girl! She cries when I walk away! What a sweet baby!! She is sleeping soundly now in her crib. Let's hope that goes on for at least another 8 hours! Tomorrow is paper work, and this doesn't seem like a very good part of town to just wander around ourselves! Guess we'll just have to amuse ourselves by staring at Ellie and Katie! More pictures to come!
