Update!

Sorry for the delay in updating. I have misplaced my camera cord some how. Or maybe a certain 5 year old camera addict took it. : ) We are trying to adjust. In most areas Lilly is doing better than I ever thought she would. In other areas, we need work. It will all take time. Its only been a little over a week since we have returned home, so I think everything is going okay. We have had a few outings and we are trying to gradually work our way up to being out and about more. She is afraid of the car, so we are trying to take it slow. In someways we have regressed since returning home, and in some ways we have progressed. She is back to sleeping with us. She was crying so hard at night and there is less of that now that we moved her back into our room. She gets very upset when Lauren or Baba leave the house. In so many ways its like having a baby, since we can't communicate sometimes. I think once she is able to communicate there will be less tantrums.

Lilly loves so many things about living in her new home. She is crazy about her sister, and brother. She adores our dog Macy, and loves her wagon (compliments of Aunt Lynn), visitors, her DVD player, NOGGIN, crayons (they do not sell them in China), cell phones, her Barbie bike, new clothes, American food, ketchup, and all her new toys!

Overall we are doing fine. Its been harder in someways than we had anticipated, and much more rewarding that we have ever dreamed! We appreciate your prayers as we try to blend her personality and ours together to become a family. Now where is that camera cord!
