Our day in Kunming

Brody bonding with his new little sister

Daddy and Braelyn playing games. She is starting to feel more comfortable with us.

First breakfast, mommy feeding her congee. After a so so night of sleep. She slept in between Jim and I.  She seemed afraid to fall asleep not comfortable with her surroundings. She would sleep when we walked with her but woke anytime we sat down. We think she was not sure who she would wake up to. Poor sweetheart! It was as hard on her as it was on us!! 

Our van touring us around Kunming. Baby Braelyn fell asleep because she didn't sleep much last night.

Paul took us to a huge childrens store, next to Walmart. It has been raining the last 2 days.

Daddy and Braelyn crashed out! A huge nap of 3 hours!!  :)



Today was a day of touring around Kunming and bonding with Braelyn. We can see a huge difference in how she interacts with us. She is feeling more comfortable with us and is playing games and smiling. Jim and I even got her to laugh! The afternoon was spent back at the hotel. The kids were ready to "chill" and Braelyn needed a good nap and so did mom and dad.  Another emotional day for Jim and I. Several tears were shed but it was very evident that this is Gods plan for our family.

Dear Ones,
Loved the new pictures again this morning!!! Loved Braelyn's smile & sweet little hair band--she will be all "girl!" You all look like "pros" taking care and holding (and sleeping) with Braelyn. What "priceless" memories. Thanks for including all of us back here in making us feel a part of God's miracle in sharing Braelyn with us! Great job journaling :)! Love and miss you Mom & Dad De Witt
