Pictures from the week

For some reason I'm having a hard time getting my pictures from the airport scanned in. I'll keep trying and post them when I can.

This is as were going through immigration in San Francisco. You're looking at a brand new U.S. citizen!!
Her first time putting her feet on American Soil as a U.S. citizen

Adiah went to church for the first time today. She wore a little Chinese dress I bought in Guangzhou. Isn't she adorable?

Hello. I'm Sara's friend from San Antonio. She linked everyone to you from her blog and I've been following you since Adiah was put into your arms. Now I can't picture you without her on your hip. I've checked everyday to hear from you since your return. Sara had some good airport pictures on her blog. Anyhow, thanks for the update. Definitely will pray for rest for everyone. Congratulations!!!!! Welcome home and God Bless. Your happiness has spilled over and I even feel it. Thinking of Adiah warms my heart.

I have just so enjoyed reading about your journey to welcome your new little girl into your family. It has touched me so deeply. The love in your face for little Adiah is so evident. She is blessed to have you & Brian as parents, and I look forward to reading more about your new daughter!

Amy and Brian - Welcome Home! Adiah is BEAUTIFUL!!

The jet lag is rough, but Adiah being on the flip schedule is the hardest. I remember Mia waking up at 2am ready to play. All we wanted was sleep. Try your best to keep it dark at night and as bright as you can during the day...and no naps. It took us about a week to get Mia on our time.

You are all in my prayers. Congratulations, once again.

Amy- I have loved reading about your journey to Adiah. She is so so precious!!! I remember the first couple of weeks after we came home- the jet lag and all the other adjustments going on- it was tough! I am praying for you guys- the whole family- as you adjust. What an exciting time. Makes me want to do it all again. -Erin L.

She is beyond adorable! :)
Welcome Home! Hope things are starting to settle down for you & you all are able to get some sleep.
Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful journey with us all. I feel like I know you now! If you ever come to California, let's get our girls together-they are only 6 weeks apart in age.
Welcome to your family Adiah!

Hi Amy and Brian!

Jet lag has us pretty wiped out still too. I'm just starting to feel sort of normal almost a week later. We are adjusting well, the sleeping and eating thing has been the hardest for XuXu. Glad that Adiah is warming to your family! Miss you guys.

Hugs,
Amorisa
