We traveled to Georgia this weekend to watch Joshua play soccer. His team won all 4 of their games. Sophie is doing better getting used to all of us and realizing that we are all a family. She still speaks pleanty of Chinese and no more added English words. She seems to understand us more when we are asking her questions. She is still very leary of strangers and not sure to what to think about all the attention that she gets. She is laughing a lot more but she can still throw a major fit when things are not going the way she wants them to go. She is very loud. But I guess you have to be loud when you lived with 100 other children. She discovered sunflower seeds. She ate them one by one as we shelled them for her. On the way home we stopped and bought some that were already shelled and put them in a cup for her and she was so happy!!!! She is a funny girl!!!!

A family...isn't that wonderful! So glad to hear this good news. I miss you at school!
So cute! Funny what they decide they like and do not like! Out of the 11 little girls in our China group......they too are all LOUD. You are right, when sharing space with many children, you learn to be loud! Anna will shhhsh me in the Library and even her shhhshing is loud. She thinks she is being quiet, and she is compared to her regular voice! Love the photos. Know you now have friends in GA should you guys ever need a place to stay.
I am impressed she likes the inside of the seed. Mine were, and still would be if I let them, content to suck the salt off and spit it out! She looks very pretty and Josh looks awesome!
Love the pictures! She is doing great!!!!! Hey, have you tried any of the baby Einstein movies on shapes or animals to help with the language? You can borrow if you need to!
Just wanted to let you know I'm still keeping up with you guys and girls via the blog. Glad to see Sophia learning to keep up with the "gang". She looks very happy! If I could speak to her I would say that I don't like strangers that much either. I'm looking forwrd to seeing you ALL. Keep up the good work.
I know you are busy but we need an update..
