Another day in Zhengzhou

Today we were able to pick up our official adoption certificate from the Registar office, then to the Notary.  A Family of 7.....oh my!!!  We then took a walk through an interesting park near our hotel, and took in some of the sights of Zhengzhou.  Lucy Kate had her first expression of sadness....there was some grieving  and only Mama holding her tight would suffice. Some of the pictures will reflect that, but for the most part, she was pure sunshine.  Mama and Baba have a lot to learn about Lucy Kate's brace for her foot...we had it on not quite correctly, and her mobility was affected.  (Not to mention a blister formed)More cause for prayer! The thing is about Lucy kate is, she rarely stops smiling, so it isn't evident when there is an issue.  All in all, the kids had a wonderful day!
Beautiful Lucy Kate!
Shopping for a stroller
Ready to go to the park!
Lucy Kate..only happy if Mama is holding me!  She worked through it quickly though, and we know it is to be expected.  Such a brave, brave girl!!!
Climbing a tree together....such sweetness!!!
All tucked in and ready for bed!

  5. Oh that grieving. So, so difficult in the midst of it. And yet we know it is a healthy expression that proves she knows what it means to love...
    Thankful for you that she let you comfort her!
    Those are all wonderful pictures, but the one of her in the crib and the glimpse of a sibling beside her made my heart smile!
    Blessings as you continue your journey!
