Sorry for so many pictures. There is a blog post at the end. 
was less crowded today than on the weekend. Beautiful bronze statues dot
the island. As you can see, Erin had lots of fun with them. By the end of
the day, Jinny joined in. And...it only took us 20 minutes to hail a cab
this time. Yay!
Jinny is doing so very well. She really is happy...all the time. She happy
to take a shower every night. Happy to go have lunch. Happy to get in a
taxi. You name it, she's just excited about it. We went and got (really,
really cheap) pedicures tonight, and she sat on my lap, happy as a clam, for
at least an hour. I think she's truly happy to finally have a family.
Every day is an adventure to her.
We've been singing a lot of songs. The orphanage director said Jinny liked
to sing and dance. Boy, does she! She dances and sings around the room for
hours. She will try to learn and sing anything I sing. She and Jia
definitely have this in common. I see many home performances in our future.
Off to bed. Our consulate appointment is tomorrow. So glad it's finally
here!
“I think she's truly happy to finally have a family.” - Who wouldn’t' be happy after having a complete family? I'm sure Jinny is still adjusting to her new life with you, yet her eyes glow with pure joy and gratitude. Anyway, I'm so glad for your successful adoption! I wish you'll be able to inspire others to adopt a child too. Thanks for sharing your journey! :)

I'm so shocked by the mild weather! You were freezing when you went to China the last time! How great! Were there bronze statues in your trip for Jia? What a great day!
