In the beginning......

Who knew I'd ever become a blogger?  Me, the computer illiterate!?  Well, here I am (with some help from Jan - thanks!), starting a blog, to mainly post pictures of Jennie, for our friends and family to see.
Feel free to comment, scrutinize, and lend advice.  "Visit" often and share in our joy of raising this beautiful little girl we can finally call our daughter!!  :0)


I am going to start by posting pictures of the beginning of our journey to Jennie....our referral picture of her on the computer, her completed room, then, pictures of the airport, China, "Gotcha" Day, and so on....many of you will have already seen the pictures I will be including in the initial posts, but I may sneak in a couple that are new to you.  So, here we go..........

"Gotcha Day"  June 21,2010
This was our first 10 mins. as a family   :0)


The paper work seemed to go on FOREVER!!
Those stacking cups were, and still are, the best!


Our angel sleeps.......WOW, she's really our's!


Crashed from the stress!
(Mommy was pumped on adrenaline!)


The next morning.....love the bed head!


Our first smile and laugh from Jennie


Well, I've decided to do the family introduction in two parts as I have so many pictures to post.  This concludes part one and our first five days in China.  Stay tuned for part 2, coming soon!   :0)
