Thursday morning

Another delicious breakfast buffet with our fellow families

Willow loves spicy home fries at breakfast.

 The foster family gave us some photos.  We had sent a care package to Hao Yu through Ann at Red Thread China.  Ann included a baby photo album.  Nai-Nai showed us these 3 photos that she'd tucked behind the other photos.  Willow loves to pull them out and look at them.  So for now I took photos of them for safe-keeping.  Nai-Nai also gave us a flash drive full of photos from Willow's time in the foster home.  We can't wait to look at it.  She said she had twin grandsons (31 months) in the home, too.  When we sat down with her for Q&A with Vickie translating, she told us she believed in Christianity and wanted to do foster care to help the children.  She also told us Hao Yu is very smart, not a picky eater, and sleeps deeply.  All of which appear to be true!

These first two pictures are from when Tao Hao Yu entered the foster home (she was in the orphanage for several months before.)

Last January with Nai-Nai.  This is the same date and outfit of the photos we first saw of her.
