New pictures of Gracie!

We've been waiting eagerly for new pictures and here they are! Check out our beautiful daughter! We really love this first one.






















Little Gracie is seven weeks old now. She's already changed quite a bit from those first photos. Misti (one of the people taking care of her) says she is really sweet and easy to care for. She enjoys playing with Gracie's hair, as you can see in those last two pictures! Gracie is stylin' already with her little mohawk!


We recently sent a box over for Gracie with some outfits and booties, a stuffed animal, a blanket, and a picture of us that they can put in her crib. We even sent a tape with us talking, singing, and reading stories to her. They like to play those for the children over there, so they can start to get used to the parents' voices before they even meet them.


Everyone keeps asking us when we get to go get her. Right now, we are waiting on our home study to be finalized. Then that will be translated into Chinese and there will be much more paperwork to get through both governments. We keep thinking we will be going over around March, but it really could be anytime from March to May. We are hoping for it to be as soon as possible!

We know you all are waiting and praying with us. Thank you, and we love you all!
