Red Couch Pictures





Anyone who is familiar with China adoption knows about the famous Red Couch Pictures! The White Swan Hotel has a red velvet couch where the families put the children in the adoption group for a picture. As you can tell, getting that many babies/toddlers to sit and look while you try to take a picture is quite a challenge! It was also nap time for some (including Ellie), so she was not happy about it! The pictures of the six girls are the friends Ellie had at the orphanage.

It seems like yesterday that Katie was on the red couch. We heard all about the trip in detail last night when Grandma Joan and Grandpa Chuckie came by from dinner. Can't wait to see all of the million photos! Welcome home, Ellie!!!!!
