This is in the lobby of our hotel. Trey and Dillon usually push the stroller and they get Coee bundled up when we go out.
Coee likes to chatter up with the boys and make faces and stuff. They just get along very well and it is awesome how Trey and Dillon have accepted her as their little sister and want her to be content. They are already her big brothers and have accepted that role with joy. I couldn't be prouder of how they act towards her and how they take care of her.
This is Coee's first go with Pizza Hut pizza and she loved it!Here are a few more pictures from the day and an update on Coee!
She had her best day with us and is becoming more "contented" daily. She has been a pretty major "daddy's girl" up til' today, with me being the main one who could get her to stop crying, etc. It was even to the point that if I got up and left her with Michelle, she would just tune-up and cry until I got back.
Today, however, she would play with the boys in the floor, sit with Michelle, and even go to Michelle easily and not cry at all. The "daddy girl" thing is very common with adopted children here because of feeling abandoned by the nannies at the orphanage.
Anyway, Coee had a great day and is being very well cared for by her big brothers. They constantly help us with doing things for her and watching out for her on the bed and in the room.
For Trey and Dillon's class:
Question of the Day- How many dynasty's have their been in China's history?
See ya' tomorrow.

Your pictures and story of the day was late getting on. Missed reading about your day with Coee and the boys. Your pictures tell your story, you all look so happy. All but Trey when some girl has her arm around him. Coee does look like she likes those boys playing with her. I know they are a great help. Enjoy your week and keep letting us tag along with you.

Thanks for the wonderful pictures - such a blessing to see three beautiful children. Coee is my kind of kid - a pizza eater - she has such a treat ahead of her with family get togethers and food. Be safe and stay healthy.
Love to you all,
Pam
We like your blog. The pictures are great! The students say anywhere from 300 to 1200 dynasties. Let us know the answer! They have some questions for you.
Natalie asks - Is any of the Chinese food good?
Bailey asks - How long is the Great Wall?
Isaac asks - Do you know any Chinese words now?
Emily asks - How old is Coee now?
We went to the high school for a pep rally this morning. LOHS is going to the state finals! Everyone wishes you well! TREY - We miss you!

Did it ever cross your mind 25-30 years ago when we were playing hide and seek on the 2500 block of Harrison street that you could ever be in another country picking up a new daughter watching your sons play hide and seek? VERY VERY happy for you and a little jealous too. Billy Horton
Trey and Dillon:
Make the most of those girls.

I'm so glad you all are there now instead of when the boys are 14---they might not be so eager to hide from those girls!! Well, you already know by now that LOHS is going to state finals--but I was sure thinking about you all at the pep rally this morning! All of LOES, HLOES, LOMS and LOHS were there in the high school gym--what a sight! 3000 to 3500 kids! Not quite the Great Wall but impressive none the less!! Coee is so gorgeous! It's like you can see her melding into you all with each day's pictures! Thank you for letting all of us share this with you--it's SUCH a blessing! Matthew said "how's the pizza there? I'll be glad when you guys come back!" Love you all!!
Hey! Like I haven't been chatty enough already---I just thought of something...Will you all get a chance to see the terra cotta soldiers? Steve and I both have always been SO fascinated by them! I'm not sure where in China they are though...just wondering!
