Day 2 with Anna Grace

Anna Grace has had a really great day so far. She has been crying a lot less and is much more interactive with us. She really loves her new daddy. She will let me hold her and do things for her, but she would prefer for Mike to hold her. Amazingly, she is already speaking some English in the less than 24 hours that we have had her. She will say "more", "bye, bye" and "shoes". She is definately a "shoe girl" and she loves to eat. When we came into the hotel lobby this morning after going to register for the adoption papers, she kept pointing at the hotel restaraunt trying to get us to go in there to eat again. Another thing that she loves is Mike's ipod. She loves to hold it and dance to the songs! When the song is over she will look at us and say "more!" We got our luggage last night and it felt like Christmas. We are so grateful to get a change of clothes and the things that we packed for Anna Grace. Anna Grace is taking a nap right now and then we will go to Walmart to buy some supplies for the orphanage. The orphanage director will allow us to visit there tomorrow morning. I have mixed feelings about going there tomorrow. I would love to see where Anna Grace spent about 10 months of her life and have that information to share with her when she gets older, but I am afraid that I will be so sad after I see all of the other precious children needing families. We are still trying to post some pictures, but the blog is blocked in China and we are using a special website to give us partial access to our blog. We have emailed pictures to our neighbors, but the email keeps getting lost. We promise to keep trying because I know you all want to see her.
