Two Months With Bailey Shay!

On July 23, we met our sweet Xin Ru. She was scared and not quite sure of who we were or what was going on.

We gave her a baby doll. When the orphanage workers left, Xin Ru bolted for the door but suddenly turned around and ran back. She grabbed up her new baby doll and made another run for it.

Two months later Bailey Shay still carries this baby doll named "Mei Mei" everywhere she goes.

She has come such a long way in these two short months. She loves all of us and gives us hugs and kisses. She sings songs for us in Chinese and does all of the little hand motions that accompany the songs. She loves green beans! She and Brinley have become better friends.

Of course, this is still a work in progress but things are so much better between these two little people than they were in the beginning. They play "shopping" and they play in their sandbox and swimming pool all day if we let them. The love the tree house and the tire swing.

We are so very blessed to be the parents of SIX awesome kids and everyday we count our blessings!
