Oh Baby!




Xiao ZhiYi
Born October 10, 2006
Jiangxi Province, China








Hey everyone, meet our daughter, ZhiYi! Yes, OUR DAUGHTER!!! I'm still pinching myself. She just turned one on October 10 and currently lives in Jiangxi Province in the People's Republic of China. We hope to get her home by February or March.

I was stunned when the agency called yesterday afternoon, when just last Friday they'd told us we'd have to wait until at least January. Tricky, tricky people, those agency folks. Needless to say, we are overjoyed, and absolutely giddy with excitement.

More information later...too much to do today! Until then, here are the other two pictures we received:

Oh, she's GORGEOUS!!!! I'm dying to know more about her. (I'll try to be patient and not harrass, though!) CONGRATULATIONS!! And since you'll travel quickly, you'll still get her quite young, which is nice!
Happy frickin Birthday!!

I knew it, I KNEW it!!! Based on your last post, I'm thinking you might not get that tax refund before you travel afterall. LOL!!
Happy belated Birthday! Since your baby is in Jiangxi, there's a possibility we might travel together?? :)

Congratulations!!!!!!!!!

Maybe we should go out for lunch sometime soon? Perhaps Chinese - to celebrate? ;)

Um...Happy Belated Birthday to you! She already has a famous name. A movie star name. You know Zhang ZhiYi of Hero and House of Flying Daggers and Memoires of a Geisha? Cool.

She's a beautiful baby to boot!
