Two years ago today I met my youngest daughter Ella. My aunt Joanne was with me on this trip too and both of us saw her as Ella walked in the hotel. Ella saw us and knew something was up. She was walking as fast as she could away from us. Now, she is firmly bonded with us all. I was worried in China for sure. But, Thanks To God, we are all a tight family. Elizabeth loves her sister and Ella loves Elizabeth and I adore them both.
Thank you Grandma Jo for making both trips with me. My mom was smiling down from Heaven for sure.
Ella is loving, funny, sensitive and the perfect addition to our family. In her two years with us, she has shown her courage and bravery in so many ways. I love you Ella Bella and am amazed by the ways God works. Thank you again Laura N for being the best social worker as well as the person that just knew Wu Shwang Zhi was the best little girl for me.
Here is Ella on Day One. She was laughing with the young girl running the gift shop. I think she does say Mama and NiNi (mom and grandma) though. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bzcVlAHVOl4
