This is how the morning started out! Daddy was in 7th Heaven...
We had a great night, everyone slept! Don't worry we are not forming had habits already... she slept in her crib all night
We had a big day. We spent the morning in a bus traveling from one government agency to another. It is a very interesting process and with Chinese New Year it was very crowded with orphanages finishing up their paperwork before the holiday.
We met the director of the orphanage today and he gave us info on Kate's foster mom. She was a 70 year old woman who held her ALL day. She lives with her two boys and say Kate as her "china doll". She is truly my little china doll, but man is she heavy!! We walked the market this afternoon where she fell asleep in the sling. When we got home I was happy to hand Kate over to her dad who had just woken up from his nap.
Good night for now!!

Heather, Brian,
Kate Rose is beautiful. She does look happy and healthy. It sounds like the bonding is going very well. In a few days, she will have complete control of the rest of your lives. It will be difficult at times but it will also be the most rewarding and fun thing you have ever done.
Love, Papa Bud
P.s. Ask Papa Rich to get Kate used to that beard so I don't have to shave my mustach!
Baby Kate, you are truly beautiful, and fully loved! We can not wait to meeet you. Keep up the good work of keeping your parents occupied! Hope all is well Brian and Heather, and thank you for the updates!

Dear
Brian and Heather. You will never know how happy I was when you called. It was so wonderful to hear the happiness in your voices when you told us you had the baby. To be able to call Brian a Dad and to be able call Heather a Mom for the first time made my day. Kate is beautiful and cant wait to see all of you.
Love, Grandma Stalker
I just can't get you off my mind today. I am so glad I checked the site and got to see your fabulous family photo! Congratulations! I am so truly happy for you all. Give her a hug from me. Thank you for posting all the details. Sounds like you are doing well. See you soon.
Love, Angela Fisher
Am I over-posting? I'm just so excited to get to see you all looking completely in love with your new baby. Good luck with the rest of the journey. We're anxious to have you home again!
Brian & Heather,
I'm glad you finally get to be the great parents I knew you would be. I know of no greater joy than holding your own child. Well, except at 3am when they are screaming.
Heather & Brian,
Kate is absolutely beautiful...you are all just glowing!
I'm so happy that I checked today and got to see pictures of the happy family!
We can't wait to meet her!!!
Much love,
Rachel, Bryan and Grace
Heather and Brian,
Greetings!
Welcome to Parenthood!
I finally had a chance to check in and catch up on the latest with the website. Awesome Pictures and details.
Alot has been going on with you. Looking good and looks like things are going well.
Can't wait to see you and especially baby Kate.
Just had a big snow and I think Bill did your drive. Very cold and you are not missing a thing on Hawthorne. Very quiet.
Have a safe trip back home and remember if you need anything while you are gone just give me a call.
Love,
The McNally's
Mike, Cindy, Brian and Katie
