What an amazing first week we have had with our little Lila. She has come leaps and bounds from just a few short days ago. Her hand and eye coordination is improving daily and she seems to be a little more stable when sitting alone. What a sweet little girl she is. We feel so lucky and blessed to have her in our lives. We love her so much and we can't wait to introduce her to all our friends and family.
Today we went to the Six Banyon Buddhist Temple. Lila was blessed by a Buddhist monk! It was very touching. We also went to an outdoor art museum. It was scorching hot today. The humidity was horrible. We were all a little crabby within hours. Daddy took Lila to the pool again after lunch. She is a little fish. We may have to look into getting a pool in Knoxville!
We also took some group pictures on the famous red couch with all the babies. As you can see they are all gorgeous. Especially our little Lila!!!
As much as we are loving China, we are missing Owen something terrible. I can't even think about him for very long because I get upset. I'm ready to leave and get our life started as a family. I am so excited to hold my little man again and introduce him to his baby sister. I have no doubt that they will be fast friends.
Tommorrow we will get Lila's visa and Tuesday is our US consulate appointment. We're getting to the end!!! We will leave for home at 5:30am Wednesday morning and we arrive in Milwaukee on Wednesday at 4:45 pm or so. We can't wait to get home.

What a wonderful journal you have going for little Lila. Thanks for sharing your journey of your family, this is so wonderful. Reading your blogs was very emotional I can not even image what it was like for you and Sean. You two are a lot of love to give to your children.
