Look at our NEW picture of Lainey! There is a family in China right now, adopting their little girl from Lainey’s orphanage. During their visit to the orphanage, she managed to find our Ling Qing Qin and took some pictures of her. She looks so sleepy and a little upset that she’s been woken up! The nanny, though, looks thrilled that her family wants a picture of her! There are more pictures, but she’s only sent me this one for now and will send the rest when they return home in a little less than a week. I believe this was taken yesterday, 12/23.

We’re SO glad to have it and will forever remember this family for this precious gift. This is our first good-quality photo, and we’ve really gotten a good look at her lip repair when we’ve zoomed in. It looks so good! We are blessed.

Yesterday, we went to Build-A-Bear to get a special present for Lainey. We chose a bear with brown hair and eyes (just like her), picked out a cute pink and black outfit complete with hairbows (thanks to Granma!), and named her Laineybug. We also had a sound box put in that says “I Love You” when you push her paw, and Abbey, Marley, Payton, and Ethan each got to put in a little satin heart before she was sewn up. She’s waiting for Lainey in her bedroom, and keeping the rocking chair warm for her!
