Once back at the hotel we removed the 4 layers of clothing to find this tiny little girl underneath. We changed her clothes and diaper and she layed on the bed and played a bit. She loves the plastic keys we brought but will chew on anything and she sucks her left thumb.....very cute! She is teething and already has the two top and bottom front teeth. We gave her a bottle and now she is fast asleep. Chinese room service just arrived....Fried dumplings, Nanchang style rice noodles and 2 large beers. Thanks for all your supportive comments......enjoy the pictures!

At last! You had such a long wait,but it was definitely worth it. She's so gorgeous. What a lucky little girl and lucky parents. Does Karen look happy or what? We can't imagine what your feelings are right now. Treasure each moment with her.
It has been a thrill and an honor to watch you complete this final leg of your journey and we send -- to all 3 of you -- our love and well wishes. Enjoy the remainder of your time in China as you get to know this amazing little person! We wait, with great anticipation, to hear all about her. Hugs to all!!! Andrea, David, Josh & Lauren

You all look so wonderful together! Happy Gotcha day. Charlotte is just gorgeous and looks terrific in your arms. Have fun!
She is beautiful. God bless and the three of you remain in our prayers.

PS I thought you went to China not Siberia to get Charlotte. From the looks of the coat it must be 40 below zero

I can't believe she is finally yours! I have been looking at her all day long. I just can't stop looking at her. She is so cute. Karen looks wonderful with her baby in her arms. I became teary eyed when I saw the three of you together. What a wonderful day for the three of you. It's also a wonderful day for me. I'm so jealous of Dad. He gets to see her in person. I can't wait to hold her. In the meantime enjoy and love her as I'm sure you will This will be your best Christmas ever.
Give Charlotte a big kiss from her grandmom. Love, Mom
