My camera is fixed and just in time! We took our group photos on the infamous red couch today. To my knowledge, every family that comes from anywhere in the world to adopt a baby from China stays at the White Swan Hotel. And in the hotel is a rather nondescript red couch on the 2nd floor lobby.
Somehow and at some point, a tradition began among all adoptive families where, before leaving, they must all put their babies together for a group photo on the red couch. Our photo shoot was today. Above are all the little girls from our group: {from left to right} mia, olivia, emma, grace, kaylee and journey!
Aren't they heart-stoppers?
The girl next to Mia, Olivia, lives in Liberty, Missouri...so they are gonna have lots of fun playing together. In fact, they had the same "Nanny" in the orphanage and were dressed in the same outfits on Gotcha Day. So we think they must've been crib mates. Her parents, Tim and Sophi, are extremely fun and - wouldn't you know it - they have an 18-month year old at home. So we look forward to getting together as an 8-some.
Here's a little playtime from Nanchang:

Okay so Mia is by far the cutest of the bunch! And I love it that she is the only one in good ole American plaid! We have begun to pray for your travel home.
