Sugar and Spice and Everything Nice

...that's what little girls are made of! Indeed.

We proudly introduce the newest member of our family.

Lu Yue Man

She's almost a year old. She is in the Hefei Children's Welfare Institute in Anhui Province.

We'll post more later but we know you really just wanted to see the pictures! Besides we are still too busy skipping through the streets and yelling at the top of our voices!

Our hearts are singing!

Your daughter is gorgeous. I dont know you and I just happened to look in on this blog but I want to say - as the mother of a wonderful 4 year old from the Hefei SWI that Hefei girls are the best!! You are very lucky to get your child from such as great SWI- if she is anything like the other 6 or 7 Hefie girls I know - she will be well loved, well cared for and developmentally on or beyond target.
