The Pearl River

Mom, Chayah, and Sarah looking out on the Pearl River

Dinner at Lucy's

They made it safely to Guangzhou and are now staying at the White Swan Hotel. Chayah had her first can of pop (Orange Sunkist) and was treasuring it! They got the Going Home Barbie-- Something that I have been dying for us to get. Yesterday they went to the Guangzhou Zoo. Today they had Chayah's medical exam. We talked to them on skype just a little while ago and they were heading out to the Liu Hua Park- it is so beautiful and we had a great time there on our last trip.

Guangzhou!

They should be arriving in Guangzhou right around now! I can't wait to hear from them... hopefully with more pictures that I am absolutely dying to see!! ;)

More Pictures!

Beautiful sisters together and matching at last! ;)

Mommy and both of her girls!
Don't you just love it that Chayah is wearing a bow?! So cute!!!

Gotcha Video

Here is the video of Chayah's gotcha!! It starts out with the nannies at the orphanage first seeing Sarah again (Sarah was at the same orphanage as Chayah) and then goes into getting Chayah! It's pretty short, only 1 minute, but is so cute and absolutely precious!!

Update!

• They went out to dinner on Gotcha Day and in the bathroom were flush toilets. It was a very funny thing that the toilet flushed and so mom and the girls stayed in there for a little while, just flushing the toilet and giggling. ;)
• Chayah is little! She is a head shorter than Sarah. Sarah, at four years old, is wearing sizes 4 and 5 now, with about a size 8 1/2 shoe. Chayah, at six years old, fits into size 3 pants and size 4 shirts. Her feet are also itty bitty, fitting into a size 6 or 7 shoe!
  
• Chayah likes her new name- "Chayah"
• On Adoption Day(Monday the 12th), they started out in Shijiazhuang, the capital city of Hebei Province. They had to go back to Langfang to apply for her passport and then into Beijing to stay until Saturday. It was alot of driving and they ended up not getting to eat dinner til 8pm. Chayah got sick and threw up. She said goodbye to her nanny and there were lots of tears.
  
• We talked to them on webcam last night here, which was Tuesday morning for them. She came up to talk to us at first with mommy, but then decided that running around the lobby (that's where they are getting an internet connection) with Sarah was much more fun! Before we got off though, she came over with daddy and played with us through the webcam. We had our first sister-bonding moment with sticking out our tongues and making funny faces. She is a silly girl!!

Gotcha, Chayah!

Chayah with Baba and Mama!

And Mei Mei too!

They're all together at last!!! Notice how Sarah is kissing Chayah's hand? So sweet!!!

They have her!!!! It is so amazing to finally see pictures of all of them together at last! God's plan is so amazing!!!! Chayah came right up to them, said "Mama!" and grabbed my mom's hand!! She has been very happy, no tears! All smiles and laughter! She and Sarah have been holding hands. :)

They're getting her soon!

It is 11am in China-- the time that they are supposed to be getting Chayah!!!!!
