Well, here she is!!!!It has been quite the eventful afternoon! The process at the adoption center here in Nanchang is a fairly chaotic event. 11 families traveled here today by plane from Beijing (in our group) and received their children. They had most of them dressed in traditional dress outfits over another layer of clothing, over another sweater, over a long sleeve shirt! I (Terrell) had on shorts, a l/s t-shirt and sandals. Coee and most of the others have cried quite a bit, but she is doing better since her bath. She loved her bath! Coee is very cute, smiles and laughs. She is also a bit like her cousin Paige in her affinity for tags!
She will probably be walking pretty quick, she walks now with just a little help from our fingers holding her up as she moves along. She enjoys us singing to her and she is very verbal in how she asks for things or comments on what we are doing.
Trey and Dillon have been awesome with her, playing, bringing cheerios for her and helping us get stuff situated for her. Dillon has been singing to her and she really likes that.
We will post more soon!

Welcome Coee! I know your extended family can hardly wait to see you and hold you too. Anderson family - congratulations on achieving you goal - a lovely daughter for you to cherish!
She is adorable. I was so excited when I saw you already had pictures for us this morning. I can hardly wait to hold her. I knew Trey and Dillon would be awesome with her. She is just precious.
She seems like she handled the change pretty well.

Can't wait to see my new neice. I am printing out a picture to take to my SS class this morning. She looks like a happy little girl and will be more so as days go by---to be in such a loving family. Love & prayers, Eula
Guys she is so beautiful! I am so excited for you all, you have waited sooo long. We can't wait to hold her. What a great family she has come into.
I was up on the computer at 3:00 am looking for pictures. None at that time. They were worth the wait. She is so cute. It looks like her picture was going to be going to lots of churches this morning. She was at ours. Congratulations again, she will be so loved.
She is beautiful and wonderful, it is overwhelming to see her in your arms. She and we are very lucky to have each other. She has wonderful parents and two wonderful brothers who I am sure will and protect for her entire life. Give her a big hug and tell her Granddaddy Mike can't wait to spoil his first Granddaughter.
Love Granddaddy Mike
How sweet!
Finally we have a little girl in the family! I know your hearts are just about to burst. Someday she will read all this and know how very much she was wanted. Trey and Dillon, take care of little sister. Love, Great Aunt Betty

I'm so happy for you! i can't wait to meet her come summer, hopefully our girls can be close. I hope the transition just keeps getting better.
Just to let you know - Coee Catherine in the bath is our computer desktop now! We are waiting for a picture of all three of your children to replace it with. Checking our e-mail, the blog and your itinerary is now what our days revolve around. The girls come from wherever asking if we have heard anything new. Love the image of Dillon singing to Coee and
Trey playing with her! She is so fortunate to have such great big brothers!!
Wow' I can not believe you actually have her!!! She is BEAUTIFUL!!! I bet the boys are having so much fun.
