Gotcha Day
















It has been a big day today. We obviously have lots of thoughts and stories to pass along, but we need to get Francie to sleep. Here are some pictures for now and we will post more later. The most important things are that we have our daughter, she is absolutely beautiful, and she is already smiling and interacting with the family.

  4. Thank you so much for sharing these photos and the details about your journey. Francie is absolutely gorgeous! I had to chuckle when reading your comments about flying with a youngster, as we have endured many a terrible flight with our little guy (of course it is always worth it but it does test you at the time!). Best wishes for everything, and if you're ever in Arkansas, we would love to see you.

  10. Katie,

    Francie is just beautiful! Seeing your little girl in your arms brings back memories of your family being in Hefei.

    I will be forever grateful to your family (Mom and Dad included) for your kindness in checking in on our baby girl while she waited.

    Hugs and enjoying your journey...

    Ohilda
