It's Official!

Our adoption of Nina was legalized in China today, so it is official now, she is our daughter. We still have some bureaucratic processes to do over the course of the next week and a half before we head home, but the big ones are over! Now we are mainly dealing with the U.S. Government. By popular demand, here are some new pictures. The girls requested more pictures of Hannah and I, so here they are. Also, don't miss our premier podcast from China below - The Fine Feathered Chicken.

I don't think you realize how so many of us are thrilled by these little nuggets of stories and these beautiful pictures. Have mercy and send MORE!!! Is your travel group all dispersed now or are you all staying in that region together throughout? I am sure you have formed some nice friendships. I hope Hannah has found some other fabric and bead shoppers to whisper in her ear..."budget shmudget, when's the next time you'll be HERE????"
We started Nina's quilt so you HAVE to bring some special fabric home to put in it! Don't delete this, Bart!
