Monday Evening

The kids, including the biggest here, (that's David), are now jumping around the beds playing Monkey in the Middle. We have had a wonderful day getting to know FuMei. She seems to be a very confident little girl. I think that comes from orphanage living. She's also very neat and orderly. Folds her coat with her mittens inside, takes care of her things, straightens her shoes in the doorway. She carries her backpack everywhere she goes, probably afraid of it being taken away from her.

Everything we have given her, like mittens and hat, her pjs, and food items she says, "This is mine?" A reminder to me that she hasn't had much of her own all these years. Some of them go directly in to her backpack!

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  She is enjoying the kids a lot. She has a contagious laugh and smile. Her voice is very soft spoken, but most things we are able to understand. She has hair almost to her waist, and is more beautiful than we could imagine. She has a very healthy appetite. She loves the noodles at the local noodle shop. (Thanks to Wendy, Meili's mom). She wants to sleep in the bed with Amy tonight, so Mary and I will be sharing an over sized twin bed! Pray for a good nights sleep for all.

Tomorrow we are at the registrar's office almost all day to complete some paperwork and finalize some parts of the adoption. Please be praying that we will be able to keep all the kids entertained and fed during the process. I believe we have Wednesday mostly free. We are still deciding if we want to go back to see her orphanage or not.

Ok, off to bed. Blessings on your days. Lynn
