Blessings

Wow, what a trip it's been so far! Daniel is precious beyond words. Josh is a wonderful daddy. He is learning very quickly. Our firsts have been quite interesting. Changing Daniel's first diaper was done on the floor in the corner of a YMCA. Preparing his first bottle was done in the back of the van while driving. It was pretty humorous, Josh was a little too slow & Daniel was screaming till it was ready. His first car ride with us was in our arms (no carseat laws). My first time eating while holding him was done with chopsticks!! Our first time putting him down to bed was in a room with 10 other precious babies. Our first walk with him was around a lake in Lo-tung.

We feel so blessed to have this beautiful baby boy as our son! Please pray for Daniel as he is teething and is fussy. He has not been eating as well and just not quite his happy self (from what they told us). But we are taking it all in stride and learning as we go.

Please keep us in your prayers as we go tomorrow with Daniel to the American Embassy for our interview.

Thanks for all your love & prayers. We look forward to Daniel meeting you all. We have found that he is quite a social baby and very popular among the younger children at the orphanage.

love, Tanya
