Hey Kate, we GOTCHA!
I cannot begin to fully describe how the day went. It was a bucketful of every emotion. Seeing all of the other kids was probably the hardest.
But we've been back for about 4 hours now, all seems to be fine and we're starting to see her come out of her shell, minute by minute. She's pretty clingy to either of us right now and likes to be held with us standing up. Only in the last hour have we been able to sitr down with her.
No crying except when we put her down to change her into another outfit. Sshe didnt like that.
Here she is
On the bus back to Chingqing
In the hotel room about 2 hours later.

Hi guys,
This is from Chris and Tracy:
"would you be able to send Scott and Jen an email asking them to email us as we would be interested to see if we couldn’t meet up with them after we get back from Nanchang later on in our trip, of course if time and our children agree, lol. We can’t seem to leave comments and where the computer is new I forgot to download all the email account addresses. It would be much appreciated.
Thanks Chris
Our email account to give them: trouting@rogers.com
Oh and isn’t Kate adorable!!! What great pics on their blog!"
