Time is fleeting...

They say "time flies when you're having fun", and I can attest, this is true. Today marks one month since Georgea was placed in our arms. It's hard to believe that a month has passed. I look at these pictures of our very first day together in Nanning, China and in so many ways it seems like yesterday. In other ways though, the passage of time is evident. Georgea has opened her heart to us. She says "Mama" and "Dada." She smiles, giggles and reaches for us. She's sleeping comfortably and through the night in her crib, in her own room here at home. We've graduated from a bottle to a sippy cup, and moving from formula to milk will happen in the next week or so.

We opened our hearts to Georgea before we ever laid eyes on her, years prior in fact. Our hearts connected with her at a new level when we saw her beautiful picture for the first time, at the end of February. And we became one with her, when we were blessed to hold her for the first time on May 25, 2009.

Back at the hotel, a physically & emotionally exhausted Georgea Lin Zi Luo sleeps. This was one of life's sweetest moments for me.

More paperwork on day one. Baby girl rests peacefully on her Daddy's chest.

Beautiful and sweet beyond our wildest dreams. We love you baby girl and are so thankful for this day.
