After a while in the room we took her shopping because she only has the clothes on her back. She did come with a little back pack with a few things in it, including some pictures! We really didn't think we would get any.
Anyway, we walked to Wal-Mart which is only a block away, and she was holding our hands and we were swinging her. She loved to jump over the breaks in the cement.
In the store, she didn't have any trouble telling us what she liked and what she didn't like. I took a ton of video, which I'll try go get uploaded if I can. It's kind of big and my Internet connection here is slow, so we'll see what we can do.
After we shopped, we ate and got ice cream.
When we got back, she was pretty tired-she missed her nap today and she got really sad again, crying for her little brother and mom. It took her over an hour to settle down. Our guide, Kathy, has been really awesome, and she came in and helped her settle down. She wanted to go home and is frustrated because she can't talk to us and everything is new and different to her. She also is very attached to her foster family because she has lived with them a long time. It will take her a while to get used to us, but we love her SO MUCH!!! She is a PERFECT fit for our family!
What a cutie!! She looks like she is having fun eating her ice cream. It looks like Rob and her are having a good time. Can you believe that the day finally came after so long of waiting. We are so happy for you and for our whole family. We are happy to have a new niece and cousin. Love ya.
ReplyDeleteShe is so adorable!! I can't believe it! Hope she warms up a little more and things are good! Keep posting pics :)
ReplyDeleteHere there Rob, LeeAnn and Brooke!
ReplyDeleteShe is definitely a keeper! What a cute litte gal! I am happy for the entire family! I am glad she likes to be tickled! Hope your remaining days in China are enjoyable! Love you all!

Wow, I almost cried when I saw the picture of Rob tickling Brinlee. How Cute! She is a doll and I can't wait to meet her.
ReplyDeleteYou are all in our prayers. I hope that she can adjust well. It must be so hard leaving everything you have ever known as a little girl and coming to a completely different life. She is coming to an awsome family that loves her already. Can't wait to get more updates. Love you lots.

PS- Tay is pretty determined that he won't be too tired to come pick you up. He wants to be the FIRST to see BrinLee so I guess he will be at the airport! Silly guy!
We are so excited. We looked at the pictures with bobby and braxton and they are way excited. She is absolutely beautiful. What a cutie. She looks like she should be there. I ran off the picture with the umbrella and she is on the piano with the rest of the grandkids. We love her!! Love mom and Dad Lovell
