Meanwhile, back at the hotel............

Cheri just called back from the hotel at 6:00pm. Sounds like we have a fiesty girl!! She ran into the hotel room and immediately helped herself to the chair, picked up the phone and began some scribbling. After using the phone earlier, she wont let go of the hotel phone!! She is all over the place. Cheri is thankful that Sam is around to keep up with this girl. Olivia has all new clothes on, including a puffy jacket and pants with bows I believe. Her height is up to Sam's chest. I got to speak with her on the phone again and we said Ba Ba back and forth some more. Cheri said it is going to take all four of us to keep her still!!

Cheri said that the foster mother wrote a note in the notebook that we had mailed and that is being translated right now by one of the guides. Stay tuned....... Olivia has been clutching the picture album we mailed as well and it sounds like that really helped with the transfer. She points to my picture and said ba ba and she points to Sam himself at the hotel and said, Ge Ge, or Older brother!!

We are truly blessed to have a healthy child full of life. Please pray for this bonding to continue.
