Wayne and Heidi's Thoughts...

Hi all!
What a week! We have enjoyed and looked forward to all of your comments. We too cry everytime we read them! Keep 'em coming!
Sadie continues to just thrive. She is so happy...smiling and laughing and jabbering a lot! A few nights ago we had our second attempt at the bath and she really liked it. Figured out that splashing is fun!
For so long now I have wondered what she would be like, and now it's so great because I know so much about her. She loves to be held; loves to put her face right up next to mine; does not like to have her clothes and diaper changed; loves to be outside, walking around; likes to feed herself finger food...just likes to eat in general!
She's just so sweet and I can't wait for you all to meet her. By the way, Dad and Rob and I all agree that the pictures of her do not in any way do justice to how cute she really is!!
It's funny because Rob and I have some of these moments of kind of "fighting" about who gets to hold her.
The visit to TongGu was extremely emotional. I can't even describe how I felt. Part of me just wanted to find a corner somewhere and sob, and another part of me was just thanking God over and over and over that our precious Sadie was given to us and that she would not have to grow up here. For me, it was even more emotional than Gotcha day. I cry now as I think about it and I know I always will. The meeting with the foster mom seemed to be a defining moment for all of us with the bonding and attachment. I just can't describe it.
Well, going to let Dad type now. Thank you all so much for all the comments and prayers. We really do feel the love all the way over here!!
love to you all,
Heidi

Hi to everyone. I can't begin to describe this experience. I am so thankful that I have the opportunity to be here and see this amazing process. Sadie is such a bundle of joy. It is hard to describe the bonding that has taken place between her and Heidi and Rob. Each day you can just see it. It is so neat to experience. We can't wait to get her home and share her with all of you. You will love her to pieces just as we do. I'm sure you are enjoying the pictures but they don't do her justice. She is even prettier than her pictures. She is a sweetheart. I miss all of you back home and I am so thankful for all of my friends and family. Love to all. Wayne (Papa)
