We arrived in Nanjing this morning(11/12) at 11:30am. It was an hours drive to the hotel then a short drive to the Civil Affairs office to finally meet Jia Lu at 1:30pm. We were waiting in the main office area and when they brought her to the door we recognized her immediately. We were able to talk to her nannie through our wonderful guide Linda and one of the things we found is that her nickname is "Lu Lu". We filled out some paperwork and brought her back to our very comfortable hotel room. Kyle got her to laugh by blowing bubbles and so far she loves to eat crackers. She is so beautiful and we are very excited to spend the week getting to know her better. She has been so sweet and gentle. Right now she is sleeping peacefully in her crib in the room with Pam while Kyle and I get dinner.
Sorry it took so long to post - we are unable to get internet access working here in our hotel in Nanjing. So this will be the last post for the week. When we get to Guangzhou this Friday (11/16) we will try again. Also we will not be able to post pictures until then either - Sorry.

Congratulations on a very special day for your family! I'm sure it must have been very emotional for all of you, but it sounds as if Linnea's transition went smoothly. Hopefully you will be able to relax a bit now and enjoy your time together this week. Can't wait to see your pictures. Love her nickname!
