We have our precious daughter Ari!  Qiu Tian!!  She is doing much better than expected.  She was so scared and crying and didn't want anything to do with us at first, but she is warming up!  I am not able to grab her and snuggle yet, but she watches everything and see's how I am with Anna!  Boy chinese would sure come in handy!  I hate that I can't understand her when she talks!!!  I actually got a hug and a comfort moment where she allowed me to hold and comfort her.  YEA!  She is a little intimidated by the big boys.  I know this is temporary.  Anton has broken through so far!!  Anna and her are fast buddies.  Ari copies everything Anna does.  She is hitting a bit so its a bummer for Anna, but then she shares and so wants to please.  Anna wants to do everything for her, feed her, read to her, she sang her a lullabye!  So, so adorable!  I am telling you, that girl!  So precious!!

Oh my word you should hear Ariana call me Momma!  SOOO adorable!!!  But she is very sad.  I am sad for her too!  I so wanted to cry but held it together to keep reassuring her with big smiles!  I remind myself where Anna was and where she is today! 

The boys are still out hunting for food, milk, some necessities and the girls are finally asleep.  Praying for their safety, this place is hard to manuever without our guide.  Anna, now that she is the Jie Jie (big sister) of course wanted to stay up later LOL.  Tomorrow is a crazy paperwork day!  Please continue your prayers over Ariana.  I remember with Anna it was about 2 days before she came out of her shell and I expect it to be more with Ariana.  She is so cute!  She is chubby, about as heavy as Anna :)  She ate good, went potty, drank good, smiled and laughed, watched baby signing times,  GOD is good!!!  I am in awe as to how amazing our Father's love is!  From America to our Chinese daughters heart!  Thank you Lord!  I am in Awe!!

Thank you for ALL your wonderful prayers and here are a few pics!

The girls playing!!

Blessings and love from Kunming!
