Sorry Folks....More Tomorrow
I would love to post more about today but just cannot keep my eyes open. Yesterday's travel challenges led to a short 2 hour sleep, followed by a busy, emotional day. I've sat here for the past 15 mins trying to write a post and have fallen asleep more times that I can count. I'll share details and more Hannah pics and videos! tomorrow.

I almost stayed up last night to see pictures, but then I realized it would be almost morning by the time you got back and got photos up. Then, with all the morning kid crazy in my house, I forgot to check when I got up. I was sitting in the pharmacy drive-thru when I remembered and could hardly drive the speed limit home to see...WORTH THE WAIT! Oh, man, is she adorable! LOVE seeing you holding her! That close-up is gorgeous. Can't wait to see more, but I know that exhaustion. Rest! We'll all be here waiting!
ReplyDeleteWOW! She is so beautiful, as you know! Those lips! I can't wait to hear how you two are getting situated TOGETHER at last!!!
ReplyDeleteSleep and rest. You need energy to enjoy this time with Hannah. We are always here and will continue to refresh for updates.

Catherine,
ReplyDeleteHannah looks so content with you! She is a smart girl, you could just see her analyzing the situation and thinking, yes, this is perfect! : )
Looks like the same benches in the Changsha civil affairs office when we were there in 2006! Or maybe all the govt offices have those style benches! LOL.
