Katie and her new friend (and neighbor!), Indigo. We are so lucky to have Melanie, David, and Indigo as neighbors.

Katie's first visit to our neighborhood lake (photo taken by our wonderful friends, David and Melanie)

Home at last!

We arrived back yesterday after more than 24 hours in transit. Katie did okay! Note from Julie about this fat photo: I did not gain THAT much weight in China, but Katie has definitely added some weight.Thanks to Grandpa for walking around with Katie for long haul flight from China to Detroit!


Sleeping angels.

Grandma really helped us keep Katie entertained from China to Detroit and from Detroit to Dulles. Wonderful Grandma!

Home at Last! 3 US Citizens! Today we are practicing making China congee rice soup and feeding the little one and getting over our jetlag.

Big thanks to everyone who checked the blog! We all were very happy to have you with us on our epic journey to China and to parenthood. We appreciate all the comments and well wishes! Don't worry, we'll post more soon!

Love, Julie, Eugene, and Katie

Coming home!

After two adventure-filled weeks, we are finally heading home with Katie! She will become a U.S. citizen upon our first port of entry in the U.S. (Detroit, baby!). We can't wait to introduce her to all of our wonderful friends and family, both in the U.S. and abroad. We'll continue the blog, but will update it less frequently. Here's hoping that Katie sleeps like this the whole way home!

Solid Food!

Katie likes to eat a little steam bun and some rice. She surprises us everyday.

She also likes to kiss the baby in this book. Aww!

Red Couch Photos

Every family at the White Swan takes a photo on the beautiful red couches in the lobby! Note the cute baby outfits!


Mommies and Babies!

We only got a few babies on the couch together before crying broke out.

Happy Birthday Wishes from Katie!

Happy Birthday Grandpa Ed!
