whoa ellie!!!

hullo from china everyone!!!
we've just returned from a full day of shopping on bejing road with d'lee's wonderful uncle charles & his beautiful wife amy, who are vising us & helping us learn to bargain. ellie is enjoying her new stroller as it allows her the opporunity to lounge as she is wheeled about & she appears to be quite fashion conscious & loves new the new clothes we buy her & the toys too, but she doesn't speak yet. she communicatess via whimpers & tears, & we are quickly learning to adapt to childspeak. it's a rather easy language to understand. her hair is longer than the the first pictures we had received. she has now been with us for 5 magical days. each day is a new adventure & she is getting more used to us each day. she has completely charmed her way into our hearts!!!
she loves to eat and especially to walk & get out & about. we are having a great time with her. sorry for the delay in our postings as we were busy bonding with her & getting our computer working & online, but more will be coming shortly!!! take care everyone.
