Trying Again More Pictures

She is a tiny little girl. These jeans are size 3T. Bethany bought this cute little outfit. Hope loves the red jacket. I've been using this for a coat since the size 24 months coat will not go over all the layers the Chinese people believe are necessary. Seems that tops size 2T fit really good but even the 2T bottoms we bought are a little large. Hmmmm did not take after mom there...
On our way to visit one of the three orphanages here in Hefei. Hope came from an orphanage in Huainan about two hours away...we could not visit there because of the weather. The visit was very eye opening and heartbreaking. They do the very best they can to care for these little ones and we saw many precious little children.
Love those eyes. Please just look at Hope's eyes ...mine are a bit wrinkled in this shot.
These pictures are from different days...this is her first nap with us...sleeping snug and warm under her Grandma quilt...

Jewell and Hope...she has been a wonderful help on this trip...Thank you so much for being here.


Here she is in only 2 layers and her new boots. We have to keep her really layered up here because of the temperature and also trying to not change what her body is used to. At the orphanage they keep several sets of clothes on them for warmth.

These are a few more pictures from the day we first met Hope some may be duplicates of pictures already posted...forgive me I will delete the dups when I have more time and get home where internet access is a bit easier. I can either look at the blog or be signed into it here, it is difficult to do both. After her first bath.

Just after arriving back at the hotel
First eye contact with mom. My heart melted...do not think she felt the same way!!

Yesterdays attempt at getting more pictures loaded was interrupted by a certain little girl who has decided that for now she only likes mom...
