Smiles from Across the Ocean

More news and pics from our friends enjoying their new baby girl in China!

These wash basins are used daily for anything from washing dishes to washing hair... and apparently babies!


Her 1st trip to Starbucks? She didn't stray far from Mama, though.


From Teesa:

Every day she's revealing a little more of what she's capable of. She said "Hi" to us today and mimmicks a lot of what we do, like blowing raspberries and clapping her hands or playing peek-a-boo. She's running around like crazy (tiny steps though), but is still very timid when it comes to getting out of her familiar surroundings, i.e. the hotel room. She's still not used to diapers either, because they don't use diapers in the orphanage.


I think Sam will love her. She's a great fit for our family. Last night when we were skyping with Sam, he got very concerned about why she was crying. Bill finally had to tell him that she was very tired and that seemed to help.


One of us is going to go to the orphanage on Tuesday to take pictures and talk with the orphanage director, and maybe take some presents too.




Sportin' her Uber-cute smile! (And some really cool shoes.)


Teesa is feeling better - keep her in your prayers that she will be completely well and have no further reactions to medication. I will post more news and pictures as I receive them. Isn't God great?!

Yay, the shoes fit . . . they look so cute on her! I love the bath photo. I love her little smile! Can't wait to meet her and see you all together as a family. :-)

These pictures and updates are just so awesome! It's so wonderful to see how God has worked everything out and it's all coming together. Cannot wait for Carolina to come home and meet Sam in person!!!
