Day 2 Susi-Yue and Graci Jia -GIRLS!

A little of last night as well. Susi's teacher gave us her school book that she was working on when we got here. Susi absolutely loves to color! She is thorough and colors every white spot and will not stop until it is done.
First bath - she loved it!

Graci had her cracking up when she sprayed her with the water. Belly laughing is the only sound besides screaming that we have heard from Susi.

Bath time was a blast!

Susi loved getting wrapped up and snuggled with Daddy. Every time we pull out the camera she smiles. I think she used to having pictures taken. From what I have seen around here there is ALOT of pics taken of these beautiful children.

After bath Graci did Susi's hair and they put on their matching princess jammies.

Getting ready for bed.

This is Saturday, day 2. Graci painted Susi's nails again and she had some snuggle time with Daddy. The only crying we had today was when her friend Sara stopped by the room and then left without her. It didn't last long and she recovered well with a new nail color.



In case you wondering where Alyx has been. She is usually behind the camera filming. There are several young interns here for the summer so Alyx has had fun playing games with and visiting with them. She also had some fun visiting the different houses and cuddling and playing with the kids. She passed out candy and blew bubbles. It is super hot and humid here but Alyx but the kids still play outside so Alyx went out and tried to teach them to play frisbee. It didn't work but they had fun playing with the frisbees anyway.

Graci and Susi are inseperable. Graci has stayed in the room with for two full days because she doesn't want to leave Susi. This is what they most the time...put on lip gloss. Susi watches everything Graci does to see how to do it just right. And Graci is loving being the big sister.

Girly time!



After getting up before 5 am, playing all morning, after lunch both girls and mommy were quite tired. They passed out for a long nap.


Susi wanted to wear her headband to nap...LOL!


After nap time they were ready to do some coloring before dinner.

I don't know if you can see Susi's coloring, but I am so impressed with it! She is so dillegent and colors in the lines. Graci and Dax are going to learn to color from Susi.


Tomorrow, first thing in the morning, we leave Shepherd's Field. We are very sad about that, it is so great here! We will head to the province where Susi was born to finalize her adoption.


If anyone shows this to Dax, Thad, and Kamby please tell them mommy and daddy love them and miss them soooooooooooooo much!
