We get to leave on May 6
th to bring Ellie
HanMei home!!! Our Gotcha Day is Monday, May 11
th! We will have our camera and laptop in China with us and we will load pictures daily (which is a huge change from the frequency that I currently upload pictures!).
Below is Ellie at age 2 years.

Below is Ellie at age 2.5 years.

And...below is Ellie at 3 years of age. Her third birthday was April 11
th....and it was a HARD day knowing that we could not be with her. Quincy sang Happy Birthday to Ellie
HanMei all week....it was simultaneously both cute and sad.....

Okay...the best for last. Last week we received updated information on Ellie so we would know her size and could bring along clothes that would fit. In addition to the update, they sent along new photos (see immediately above) AND two short 5 second long videos of her walking! For obvious reasons, this is a HUGE deal to us!
