What you've been waiting for!

I finally have a moment to post pictures!  I didn't post any before coming to China because our agency asks us to keep our child's personal information private until after the adoption is completed, and I haven't had a good moment to sit down and access pictures on the computer since Tuesday.  For those of you who don't know us personally, I can now share that Huang-huang's special need is albinism, as I'm sure you can see from the photos!

The first photo is of Huang-huang signing the paper saying that he wants to be adopted by us.  The other two are from our trip to the zoo yesterday.

So much happened this morning that my brain is full, and I'm not going to attempt to blog it right now.  We did have our orphanage visit, and it went well.  Esther has been struggling the past 24 hours or so--dissolving into tears at the least little thing, and ignoring us when we tell her what to do or not do.  So we would appreciate prayers for her adjustment, and for her rest!  I'm guessing that tiredness is playing a big role here, although there are plenty of  potential triggers to choose from!  I'm going to try to spend some quality one-on-one time with her this afternoon, since she did get rather shunted aside at the orphanage this morning.  On the bright side, our sleep patterns are slowly falling into line--this morning we all made it till 5AM!

Luke wants to know if Huang Huang (Daniel) knows how to write his ABC's in English yet so they can write to each other. Also he is hoping Daniel will learn some American sign language so they can Skype to each other. He also says "Hello to Daniels new family!"
