After ten years and almost nine months, we are finally making our way back to XiMei's homeland. Here's a little stroll down memory lane...
 |
| After seeing this image, Rose couldn't resist falling in love with XiMei... |
 |
| Shortly after arriving at the Dolton Hotel in Changsha, the orphanage staff brought XiMei to our room. |
 |
| We got to hold our daughter for the very first time. |
 |
| Trip to the countryside - hitching a ride with Dad |
 |
| Up close and personal with a water buffalo |
 |
| Hamming it up for Mom |
 |
| Lots to learn |
 |
| and what better way than reading Eric Carle's "Brown Bear, Brown Bear"... |
 |
| Hmmm...that bib definitely coordinates with your denim GAP cap, Nolan... |
 |
| Only the 2nd experience for XiMei in a swimming pool. |
 |
| Brother-sister bonding time. Nolan learned quickly that food was the best way to get XiMei to warm up to him. |
 |
| More sibling bonding time (and Jackson hamming it up again). |
 |
| XiMei's turn to do the hamming... |
 |
| Learning to use modern technology. (OK, so she's talking on a TV remote, but it's the same principle...) |

Look at that POUT!
