Internet is sketchy here. I spent a good deal of time last night trying to get photos uploaded. I only got four, but I guess that's better than nothing! If I would have known that it wasn't going to work well, I would have chosen four pictures all with Tang Min, but as it is, there's just one... At least it's super cute!! It is of the three girls on the night we got Tang Min. We had gone swimming and they had just had baths-- aren't they precious?!!
This next photo is Graci with "China Grandma." She is one of my favorite people in the world-- just as sweet as they come. We LOVE her!
Here is one of the meals that Graci's aunties prepared for us. Graci has let me know that if they ever come visit us in America, I need to step it up with my cooking! She's very proud of the many dishes they served. (:
This is Jesi and Graci with Bei Bei, Graci's friend from China. They used to spend a lot of time together when they were younger. Bei Bei is ten and full of spunk and personality-- she reminds me so much of Graci when we first adopted her-- quite the character. (;
And there you have it! Tomorrow we will be traveling to Guangzhou and will hopefully have better luck with the internet!
Cali is doing so amazingly well! We're heading to breakfast right now, but I'll try to wrtie more later and maybe try for some more pics...

ReplyDeleteIs Bei Bei still in the orphanage? They are all such beautiful girls! Can't wait to follow along on the rest of your journey.

ReplyDeleteI love the sisters picture...all that gorgeous black hair and blond hair together. It's striking and beautiful. Sisters are the best!
ReplyDeleteIf you had not told us that the first picture was taken on the night you got Cali, I would have thought it was days later! She looks so comfortable with her sisters! All 3 of them look like they have been together forever!
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful sisters! And what a special gift you all have in Graci's China family. We would love to have a connection with someone who'd loved our kids before we met them.
ReplyDeleteHey Green family. I've been reading your blog ever since I saw your awesome adoption video. I think your family is just beautiful. I also come from a large family of 19. You can see us at smilesandtrials.blogspot.com. I can't wait for Cali to be home with you guys. She is so precious. I'm praying for you guys and looking forward to more pictures.
