We've got her!

They brought us right up to her classroom and told her to come over and meet Mommy and Daddy.

It all happened really quickly and none of us were really prepared.

These ladies took care of Emma, the one on the right since she was small.  We can tell she was attached to her. 

Emma's bed at the orphanage.  She folded that blanket under her pillow herself!

Daddy's in love.

She's been all smiles today.  We've played with bracelets and colored.  She understands everything we say in Chinese and is willing to repeat English.  She's been talking a lot.  She's so smart!

Her giggle is just SO CUTE!  We love our little Emma Hope!
