6 Months

Today marks 6 months since we brought Emily to the United States. It seems like a dream since going to China. She is so totally amazing and fits in our family perfectly. She is developing into such a wonderful little girl. For those keeping track, Emily has grown almost 3 inches and gained nearly 4 pounds since coming home. What a miracle she is!!!

We wanted to show a current picture of Emily, however, we must have taken 100 pictures tonight with her eyes closed in all of them. Who ever invented the digital camera gets a huge pat on the back from us though. It would have cost a fortune to develop all these pictures with her eyes closed. Check back soon for updated pictures on Emily. Here is a picture of the Emily with her big sister, Hannah. It is hard to believe they have only been sisters for 6 months. They look like each other and they act lke each other. I think they are true soul sisters.

  1. I can't believe it's been 6 months. It seems like it went so fast, yet it also seems far away. She looks great. Jack has grown about 3 inches and has gained about 4 pounds. Seems like we're on the same growth schedule! Shan

  2. Can you believe it???? Don't you feel like you have had her forever? Awesome growth! Julianne too has grown 3 inches but I believe she has put on a good seven lbs. She has become quite a chunk lately. American food:0)

  3. Love to see those beautiful smiles...what special sisters! So happy to read how well Emily has fit into your family! What a blessing! Tessa told me the other day that "the teacher" (still don't know her name, but the one there for at least 10 yrs, one who definately spent time with Emily per Tessa) told the kids they were all brothers and sisters..it truly sounded like this woman loved them all and wanted them to feel like a family. Tessa said no one else called them that- only this woman. I'm so glad there was someone in our children's past life who wanted this for them, wanted them to "feel" like they were a family until the day came when they received their very own! Take care, Jennifer
