So What Would You Like to Know?......

The UPS package arrived at approximately 11 am this morning.
I didn't even hear the truck pull up, I just looked up saw it parked across the street and let out a scream..."John, it's here!".
We ran outside, and impatiently waited for the UPS driver to get out of the truck. Lo and behold, two drivers exited the truck with our package. They crossed over and walked up our walk and John and I were like little kids on Christmas morning! One of the UPS drivers explained that he was training the other. We got two for the price of one today!!!!
John and I asked if we could take their picture as they were the "stork"! They said that this was a first for both of them. They agreed to the picture and were so nice, wishing us congratulations and good luck.
It's a huge packet with alot of information. It reminds me of the first package La Vida sent us almost 4 years ago. That was when the journey began. I was overwhelmed when I first looked at that packet, but was able to digest it bit by bit, and ultimately we finished our dossier which has led us to today. Our daughter and another packet, that is just as intimidating. But I know that we'll again, get everything done to bring our daughter home.

Well, here's some info on Renee Mei:

She now resides at the Social Welfare Institute of Guiping City (not Pingnan?!?)
and has been there since she was found.
As of early May, she was about 14 pounds and 24 1/2 inches tall.
She is a moderate sleeper.
She can hold her head up when she lies on her stomach.
She can roll from her back to her stomach by herself.
She can grasp a toy near her hand.
She can lcoate the direction of a sound or a voice.
She laughs aloud!
She follows you by moving her head from one side to the other.
She knows her name when it is called.
She is active and restless (oh boy!)
She has a ready smile!!!
She is quick in reaction and loves to play with toys.

Most important, she is now our daughter now and forever, and I can't wait to meet her to shower her with all the love that I have for this miracle that the Lord has blessed me with.
