JenningsJourneys: It's official!

Yesterday we completed our adoption of Lynli Grace! She is officially a Jennings! We even have her little footprint approval. :)

We headed out yesterday morning, back to the same office as Monday, to complete our paper work and have the officials, officially accept our adoption. After that, we really just hung around all day. We took the kiddos down to feed the fish, then went to cool off in the pool. Lynli wasn't too fond of the water, but we may try again another day. She ended up sitting in my lap and taking a little nap. After that, we headed to a new area of town, within walking distance, to try out a new restaurant and pick up some items at the store. Can I just remind you how CRAZY roads and driving or walking is here. Pedestrians do NOT have the right of way. So, crossing a street, with no walkways, is a gamble. Seriously. Quite nerve-racking with 4 little ones. So happy to have my mom's extra hands. :)

Little bit is doing great! She is happy with either Keith or me, which is really nice and allows each of us to spend time with her and the other kids. She laughs and giggles a lot, but yesterday she was a little more quiet. I have a feeling it is starting to sink in that she is not going back. It may get a little more scary for her at this point. We'll have to see. I know one thing. This little girl has a set of lungs. She does NOT like to take a shower or go to bed. She knew as soon as she saw the pj's come out what was happening and she started screaming. It is the sweetest little scream. But it is LOUD! :) It took about 15 minutes of pure screaming, but she finally settled into a great sleep. I fell asleep beside her at 8:00 last night. I was so tired, but I feel refreshed today!!

We are headed to breakfast in a few, then over to a park or something. At 3:00p we will apply for Lynli's passport and I think we are headed over to Shamian Island for some shopping this evening.

Day 2 was good and I can't wait to see what Day 3 will hold...
