Look who's here!

At about 4:15, an hour late, the six babies from the Jianxin orphanage
arrived at the Jin Feng Hotel. One by one we were united with our
little ones, but having waited the longest, and because I'm at the
start of the alphabet, we were first to receive little Pan Pan.
That's what she is called in Chinese. Her English name is Rikki, and
those of you who knew her grandfather will know why. And he would
have been thrilled to know he has such a beautiful granddaughter.

Poor thing, she had gotten car sick on the 2.5 hour drive from the
orphanage, the farthest she'd ever traveled. At first we thought she
was stunned from the experience, but after two bottles of water and a
bottle and a half of formula, we realized that she had simply been
weak and dehydrated. She sparked up quite a bit after that. Then she
fidgeted herself to sleep.

You can see her first smile of the day in her father's arms in the
picture below. We will send more pictures and information tomorrow -
most of them are in the camera and we are too tired right now to start
up the laptop and upload them. Tired but very happy.

Sent 9:45pm from Jin Feng Hotel, Nanchang
