Hello Everyone! We had such an amazing day!!! You would never believe it.

We have all been up since 1:00 a.m., China time, unable to sleep due to all the excitement. We flew out of Beijing to Nanchang. We flew China Airlines. It was pleasant, but I did have a few concerns about the brakes. We arrived at the Jengfeng Hotel. We had only a few moments before we needed to rush off to pick up our darling babies. What an amazing miracle. We arrived at the Civil Affairs office at 5:00 p.m. There were babies and crying nannies everywhere. Then they just started calling our names and handing us our kids.

Joe went foward and picked up Jaelin and she did not cry at all. All the babies everywhere were yelling and screaming. It was an awesome scene. Then we filed back on the bus to return to the hotel.

Jaelin is so pretty. She is also so quiet. The kids just love her and constantly want to be with her. We put her in the crib and she went right to sleep! She wore fluorescent pink when we got her; She had two sets of brand new clothes on. She had split pants on both. I don't think she can walk yet and she is really very tiny. I don't think she weighs more than 15 pounds. She did seem to stand, though. She loves to cuddle and she is a real sweetheart.

Although I would love to go to bed right now, I have to go work on the gobs of paperwork required. Will update more soon.
