The girls made here a little late, but safe and sound, and no worse for the wear. We are so lucky, she is just great, and is so polite, and anxious to dig her heels in and make this a great experience. She is so little......and by the way she speaks Chinese. We are communicating just fine, but after a summer of emails, you forget that someone does not speak the same language. Anyway, she brought us some Chinese tea, a beautiful tea pot, and she made us a scrapbook of her family, friends, her home, dog, and some of the trips she has taken. So sweet, and her mom wrote us(in Chinese) a lovely letter about taking care of Shiyu, and that she knew she was in good hands. We hope someday that we will get to meet them.Anyway, gotta go get her up from her 1 hour nap that I allowed(gotta get her adjusted to the time before school starts) and we are headed over to our friends house that is hosting too for swimming, and pizza.
Thanks for everyone's nice comments, and you were right....it was fine the second I hugged her:)

She's beautiful...
You're going to bond fine, you seem to go out of your way to make sure things are just perfect!
This is such an awesome thing to do....for both of you. I wish I would have had the courage to do something that adventurous at 16, but i was way to shy...
Good Luck....to both of you...
and welcome to the U.S. Shiyu...you're going to love it!
How exciting! I am really looking forward to your experience.
Oh! Happy smiles! This is going to be a wonderful adventure for all of you. Yay!
Oh, I'm just so happy you're doing this while waiting for your little one...it sounds like the experience of a lifetime for Shiyu, and I know you will bond in ways unanticipated now...great photo of the two of you!
Am so happy for your guys as you start this very exciting adventure. She's adorable and I know you will have a great time together. Keep us posted.
AWESOME! I can't wait to follow throughout the year!
