7/7/2010 We arrived at our Hangzhou hotel at about 10 pm on Sunday (much later than planned due to our flight being delayed for several hours) anxious to get our cameras charged up for the "Big Day" on Monday. But when I plugged our adapter in, there was a loud POP and we suddenly found ours...

Shannon,
Ellie is beautiful. I must say that the photo's taken after she met her mommy and grandma show's a happiness in those little eyes that I didn't see in the photo's before you met her. I think she realizes that God has given her a wonderful family and she is extremly happy.
