Quinn with daddy in the first couple hours.
The clothes she arrived in.
Quinn and I on the first day.
Quinn at adoption center seeing us for the first time, alittle... VERY upset.Today we were so excited, we woke up at 7:00, and ate breakfast till 8:00 then prepared ourselves to see Quinn! We went down to the lobby to meet Mary, she was going to take us to meet Quinn at the adoption center. We met Mary and began to walk down the streets of Nanchang, it was not as busy as Beijing. When we arrived we went to the 26th floor and there waiting for the elevator was Quinn, with a male holding her, she did not go to the orphange, she came straight from the foster mom. She was crying hysterically, and not wanting to come to us. We handed her to my aunt Mary, and she took to her right away and quieted down. It took her an hour and a half for her to warm up, then she went to my dad and fell asleep on his chest. She has definitely been outside with no gloves because her hands are suntanned. She is so wonderful we gave her a ball and she just loves it! She smiles constantly. I put some barrets in her hair and she looked at herself and gave the cutest laugh. We think she has a bite of a cold? We took a video of her playing with the ball she will give high fives with direction you can say "hi five" and she will give you one. She has very pretty eyes she is very cute. All in all I wouldn't trade her for anything. She mimics and can say, milk, eat, hot, drink, more, and cookie. She is just wonderful she will look at herself in the mirror and stick her tounge out and just laugh she is the perfect little sister.
She is so beautiful. Megan and I can't wait to meet Quinn. We're glad to hear that you are in love with your new sister. We're glad to have a wonderful new cousin!
