Official Adoption Day


We are still here!!  I am not a very good blogger am I!?  We are just so busy enjoying Ruby and the boys and experiencing China that being online is not a priority.
 
All is going really well.  Ruby has been adjusting more and more each day and is very much attaching to us, especially me which is just what we want.  All good signs for her and her future bond to us. She is just precious and we are crazy about her.
 
On Tuesday we had paperwork to complete and now in the eyes of China, Ruby Grace QingXue is officially our child forever!!! After more than 3 years of waiting, it feels AMAZING!

We have been exploring the city a little walking in to town from our hotel.  We have also been going to the pool a lot. Jack, Liam and Sam have been having table tennis matches and have been having fun between that and swimming.
 
I've attached a photo of us out and about. Check out the "cricket man". Yes, the little hand made wooden baskets are full of live crickets! the size of a small bird! The boys loved that, of course =)

So glad to hear Miss Ruby is adjusting & bonding more and more. At times we wouldn't realize Mya's progress until a few days had gone by...then we could really tell how far she'd come. I am glad she likes the sling :)

Cannot wait to meet Ruby!

So fun to see a new update! But of course we understand that your priorities are with your family and your precious new daughter!! So don't feel bad about falling behind on the blogging while you are there (...though the selfish side of me wants to see more and more photos and hear all about your amazing journey!!) I am so happy to hear that Ruby is bonding to you and that you are enjoying this special time in her homeland! It is also encouraging to see how well the boys are doing, as we are planning to bring our kids with when we travel to Khloe, too!

Have a nice weekend and God bless!
