After we received the pictures of Merrin on Thursday we went to Merrin's Granny and Papa's to show them the picture of their new granddaughter, then we went home to celebrate with Merrin's sister Meghan, Grandparents Mamere, Pops, and Big Joe and Colleen. We drank champagne, ate pizza and had a great time looking at our beautiful baby!
Our friends Dianne, Mike and their three kids Jack, Riley and Maggie were driving in from Atlanta to stay at our house for the night. We celebrated more when they arrived and needless to say it was a very late night but one to remember.
On Friday morning the FedEx stork arrived and I had Dianne take a picture of me and the "stork". It was hilarious the "stork" was upset because she had not fixed her hair that morning and if she only knew she would have made sure to do so. I told her she looked great and that you could not even see her hair with her baseball cap on!
Here is some info. we received on Merrin. She is a deep sleeper, holds her head up, sits alone quite steadily and can grasp a toy. She laughs aloud, knows her name, is active, fond of quietness and loves listening to music and has 4 teeth! We cannot wait to get her!
found your blog through rumor queen. Congrats! If you haven't yet, join the Chenzhou yahoo group. My Ella is from there and I found several pictures of her that people in the group took while visiting the SWI. -Noelle
ReplyDeleteHI!! Noelle and I received our little girls at the same time from China! I just wanted to let you know that our girls were in wonderful health! They were all clean and you could tell that they had been well taken care of and loved. I am so excited that another little ChenZhou baby gets her forever family!!
ReplyDeleteOlivia was 9 mths the day we held her and she is now 2 1/2 amd such a HUGE blessing! We thank God for her everyday! We are ready to do it again because our experience was awesome and it still continues!

Merrin likes quiet? I guess she will have some adjusting to do when meeting Brady, Reese, and her Daddy . . . sorry Joey. Maybe we could practice the quiet game.
