This was taken in our hotel room within probably 2 hours of getting Xiafeng. I think it shows her personality pretty well.

Shopping

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!

Hotel room

By the time we got back into our hotel room, she had totally relaxed and let her true colors come out. We quickly found out just how well she fits into our family; she loves to joke and tease. She is very smart and funny. Her brothers will love her to death.

She found Brooke's umbrella in the suit case and came out of the room posing and laugh

Picking Xiafeng up

When they brought Xiafeng into us she was quite scared and just stood there. She quickly started crying and kept crying for about 30 mintes. It was hard to try and comfort her without being able to talk to her.
