We hope that you all enjoyed the first few pictures of Jadyn with her new mommy, daddy and big brother. Today we took the babies to the zoo in Hefei and saw a giant panda, as well as lots of other animals. The last few days have been amazing, watching as the babies begin to bond with their new families, and as their personalities begin to come out. Jadyn and two of the other babies have taken a bit longer to open up, smile and do things. They are the older ones and clearly know what is going on. However, in the last 48 hours Jadyn has walked, smiled, played with toys and even given her mommy a kiss. She is still shy and needs lots of time, but we have glimpsed into her soul and know without a doubt she is our baby, to be in our family forever.
She hates to go to sleep so the sleep deprivation has been much more difficult than we anticipated.
We cant wait to bring her home to Larchmont to her friends and family...
On a sad note, we learned that my brother John passed away this week.
He had a heart attack in his sleep.
We will have a memorial service for him on Oct 15...
It has been very difficult for me to be here but obviously, this journey is important to all of us and Jadyn will definitely be a solace to us all.
NOTE: To Gabe and Livy's teachers: Please don't share this last piece of news to the class...
Although this is a hard way to share this news, we know that people checking the blog are people who care about us and this seemed like the only way to let people know...
We care about all of you and look forward to seeing you on Thurs...
