We have been having so much fun here! Marika could not be sweeter. She continues to be so very mellow-- Mia and I really lucked out. She hardly fusses at all, and squirms only when she is thirsty. Lots of smiles today-- she is really becoming attached to us. Things are just wonderful. Today we hit 2 museums and have learned a lot about the history of Nanjing. For all my Xuzhou friends-- we are going to the orphanage tomorrow!!! I have lots of friends to visit there and lots of pictures to snap. ;) We read all your messages and appreciate each and every one and all of your good wishes. Best to all, Kathleen, Judy, Mia and Marika
I am so happy to see your sweet and mellow baby giving you a big belly laugh! She has a beautiful smile just like her momma and sister. She just looks like a part of you already, a place to belong. Can't wait to hear all about the orphanage visit, enjoy the trip and happy snapping ;-)

That is the best smile! You can see the hapiness in her eyes! Enjoy your trip to XZ-oh my heart just dropped thinking of how close you will be to my girl.

It is wonderful to see Marika smiling in the latest photo! She's got a happy life ahead of her.
ReplyDeleteHmmm...looks like your 1st comment up there was spam??? not tooo sure.
ReplyDeleteMarika looks so happy!! I couldn't see Mia in that one, but I can feel her smile from afar!! So glad things are going so well. We can all only hope that it goes so well with our babies! We are dying to "see" what you see tomorrow when you travel!! Thru you wonderful Mom's will be the only way I get updates on my dd, our agency doesn't do that. (They allow it, but don't have a liasion themselves). Praying you had a restful night, and that you snap lots of pics tomorrow. Ms. Tang doesn't know us, since we just received PA last week, but our Chu Xia is the same age as all of our little ones, and should be in the same room as your babies unless she is ill or something???
Soooo excited!!!
Hugs,
Sheri (Chu Xia's Mommy)
This is absolutely wonderful and just reaffirms what I think---Kathleen was just made to be a mom and those are two very lucky little girls and one lucky mom. I can't wait to meet the newest member of The Fam.

Kathleen: you have two lovely daughters and they could not have gotten a better mom! This is the trip Mia will never forget. I can't wait to see you and hear all the great stories.
