I think these pictures are actually from the night before, but I had to add them. She's just so cute! :) One of her favorite toys to play with is this balloon. She really doesn't know how to play with toys, she pretty much just holds onto two toys and doesn't let go. So we had to teach her how to throw the balloon and play around with it.
Here we are in front of this tomb near our hotel (part of the museum). Claire had just fallen asleep-the ergo is very comfy!
That afternoon we had our appointment to apply for her passport. There were probably at least 30 adoptive families there also getting their child's passport so that was fun to sit around and find out how everyone's experiences were going. We then just went back to the hotel, ate, skyped with the boys, and went to bed! I have been missing the boys terribly lately so it was so good we could skype. Facetime hasn't been working anymore so we figured out how to skype instead, thank goodness.
Thanks for the comments/emails, I am loving reading them and it's really encouraging us on this trip!!!

Oh my gosh I am loving seeing all the pictures of Claire-and she is just so cute playing with you guys! I heard she was waving to the boys- I wished I had seen that! She is interacting with you guys so much-I'm so happy for you!! We miss you also much and can't wait until the boys are here and you have to Skype me!!
Love all the pictures! What an amazing journey! It is so cute to see how smitten you guys are with her. As she gets older it will be a wonderful journal for her to read through and see how much she is loved! And double yea about the good dr report! And seriously, she is precious in those clothes and bows!
Love, Love, Love all the new pics! She is just so precious!! I'm sorry she has been a little sad but it sounds like she is really warming up to you all. Loved seeing that sweet smile. Alexa was looking at the pics with me and she said "Aww, she is so cute!" And Blake keeps telling me he wants to go to China...he put his shoes on and said he is ready to go:-) Looking forward to the next update!
Great pics! She is looking so comfortable with you guys! That is so sweet she's learning to play, I love watching them learn new things!! Glad you got to skype with the boys :)
I am so happy you are posting every day. It is great to see that sweet little girl ( by the way, you are dressing her adorable). I am so glad you can skype with the boys. I cannot even imagine how hard it must be to be away from them. I talk with your mom almost every day and love to hear updates. Take care and can't wait til you can be back home.
Jessica,
I love that you are posting everyday...thank you so much for keeping us all so informed! It is the highlight of my day to click and see if there is a new post! It seems like Claire is really bonding with you guys and what an amazing blessing that she is comforted by you at nighttime. She is so beautiful and it is so amazing to see her smiles! I'll bet they are even more precious in person. :) I can only imagine how much you are missing your boys and it won't be long now until you are reunited as a family of 5! It sounds like everything is running smoothly and on schedule...God is watching out for you all for sure!
Sleep tight!
Yay! Updates and pictures!! LOVE seeing these! Love hearing about your trip and seeing how in love with her you are - and she with you it seems!! I am sure it is hard to be away from the boys, hope you are having good Skype sessions!
Loving reading through the story of Claire! Praying and thinking of you and Ryan!
