Pictures from China---One Day Post-Gotcha Day

The first afternoon after Gotcha Day we decided to go swimming in the Beautiful White Swan Hotel pool (it really is beautiful...waterfall and all). Quincy was soo thrilled to finally have her "sissa" (sister) that she was constantly attempting to hold her hand. Ellie didn't really know what to make of it.

The picture above pretty much sets the tone for the day. Quincy was her typical spastic self---just not a good spastic but a bad spastic. Ellie just seemed annoyed with her a lot of the time.

Ellie's first time in the pool. It went pretty well.
After the swim we just lounged poolside. Quincy was still spastic; Ellie was still annoyed.

But....by the end of pool-time, Ellie was showing signs of happiness at last.
