A lot to catch up on!

I know everyone wants more baby pics, those are coming!  First I want to catch you up on the last couple days. I cant see the blog, so sorry if I repeat myself!
Yesterday we left Hong Kong for Nanchang. Nanchang is way different than Hong Kong. It is really different here. When are plane landed we got off the plane in the middle of a concrete field basically. We had to take a bus over to the airport where we went through a health check and immigration. It was actually pretty scary. No one says anything and its extremely serious, and hot. Did I tell you how hot it is here? Really hot!
Nanchang is extremely poor, It is pretty obvious. We will post some pictures of the city, it is like nothing you have seen before. There are people everywhere, and the traffic is really crazy. There are stoplights but for the most part no one pays any attention to them. When you first look around you may be afraid to wander around outside but it is actually a very safe city. All of the locals seem extremely friendly. They like to try their English out on you. This is not a tourist area so we really stand out. You have to be here to really understand all of this. We will share some pics and video.
Lia- is an absolute doll!! We just love her to pieces already. This morning we had all of our official appointments. She is legally ours now in the eyes of the Chinese government. We are soooo lucky. Gotcha went well! It was a little different than I had imagined, but it went well. The rest of our travel groups babies all came from a different orphanage than Lia. So we got to see them get their babies. It was really an amazing moment. Than they all took the babies back to the hotel rooms, and than Lia came! She really hardley cried. Just a little wimper is all. She is so pretty, and sweet. She didnt eat a whole lot last night. But- she did pretty good this morning. She slept all night, but much better than her mommy did! She has a little bit of a cold it seems, but over all she is doing much better than I expected!
I will get some pics uploaded now! We have an exciting trip to Wal-Mart planned for this afternoon!
