DAY 5




Once again I am late in my entry. I am so tired in the evenings I fall asleep before I can blog. The transformation with Bree is just wonderful to watch and experience. She has quite the personality-sensitive, stubborn, comical and so very sweet. She loves to give kisses (see pics above). Daddy and Grandma are growing on her as long as I am nearby. She is totally fine to play with them if I am busy doing other things. She has the most wonderful laugh. She is becomming more active-all over the hotel room with her toys, recognizes her new name as Bree and is very vocal! If mommy tells her "no" she pouts until I give her a kiss. If daddy tells her "no" she ignores him. Brynn and Brooke-you are going to have so much fun playing with her! We went to the Pearl Market and the Jade Market on Friday. Amazing places. The sheer number of stores and shops selling the same things is mind boggling. We saw a Kentucky Fried Chicken that had a local favorite - chicken feet. Not legs, but feet. Fried chicken feet. None of us seemed to be hungry at the time. Or guide, Jocelyn, assured us that they were very good. The weather was overcast with a cooler breeze today. Nice break from the intense heat. Our friends Rina, Hank and Myah should be hitting home today. We hope they had safe and uneventable flights.

You all look like your having a wonderful time. The kids think Bree is beautiful and can't wait to meet her. Looks like Bree is getting more comfortable with her daddy. The kids are also enjoying all the pictures. Can't wait for you guys to come home. Enjoy all the sight seeing.
Love,
DeWese family

Tracy,
It is Saturday morning in Perrysburg and I just sat down to read your blog. My last entry was written after returning home (late)from a family birthday party. Lily was sitting on my lap looking at the pictures of Bree, blowing her kisses and throwing a fit that I would not let her play with the keyboard, at that very second. She loves the computer. Anyway, after looking at the message that was written, I now see that I can not spell correctly under those circumstances. I do know how "hear" is spelled:) Trying to write in chaos is never a good idea.
It is cute to see Lily's reaction when I ask her if she wants to see Bree. She says "yes" and runs to the computer. I am afraid that Bree may be referred to as "Bee" for the time being. The "r" will come soon. She is going to love to meet Bree in person. We all are so excited for you and your family! You soon will see the families, in your larger group, who traveled to the other areas to meet their baby. This will provide a nice variety to the shopping etc. It will be great to meet their children and compare experiences. This coming week will offer more nice and new adventures. You will see what a small world that we live in when you begin to connect with the other families. To make a long story short, my cousin recognized Lily from a picture that one of her best friends shared with her. It turns out that her friend was the grandmother to a baby that we met and traveled with (her parents) to and from China. There are more miracles in store for you this week! Enjoy!!!

Dear Family and Friends
We are so happy to share with you this wonderful journey we are taking to bring home our daughter
.

Those beautiful rosebud lips!
