First Night



Well technically it still is the middle of the night. I have been up since about 1am, Shelby since 1:30, and now Faith woke up and it is 2:30am...UGH. The baby is still sleeping soundly. Have I mentioned how adorable she is?!

We attempted to keep the girls awake by going outside the hotel after our Papa John's pizza dinner in the room. Needless to say both girls were fast asleep at 7pm in the stroller by the time we got back up to the room. We are awake now, but hoping they will go back to sleep at least for a couple of hours. Breakfast doesn't open until 7am. We meet our guide in the morning at 9:30 to make Xinfang an official Straight!


PS: Faith made sure to let us know about 5 minutes after meeting Elise..."OK, let's go home now!" I guess she took us literally that we couldn't go home until we got her new baby-LOL It's going to be a LONG 2 weeks for baby Faith :)

I remember it seemed SO LONG until the breakfast buffet opened! We were always SO hungry! And then we couldn't keep our eyes open at dinner! She is just so sweet.

There is nothing cuter than a sleeping baby, and she's as cute as they come!

So happy for you; couldn't wait to get on my computer to see all the pictures and see how it is going for Elise. Oh, it was also wonderful to see and hear gorgeous Faith and the baby in the video--my, she and Willow have changed so much. Shelby seems to be taking this all in stride! You are in our prayers.

Sweet, sweet, sweet!
And I like Faith's idea and cast my vote for her to be in charge of USCIS.
Happy fingerprints... like right now ;)

Congratulations!!! Elise is just beautiful!!! It's so good to see the girls playing together. What great sisters they will be! And I understand about the stroller. I took a Sit 'n Stand on our trip. It was great, except for going thru security at the airports. We were quite the spectical and got delayed every time. The security guys would burst out laughing and pointing at us. But it was worth it's weight in gold. Have a great two weeks - hope Faith isn't too disappointed...
