It's FINAL!!!!
WE had our final paperwork with China and its offical she's our daughter! Libby Xiao did much better than expected...still lots of little kitten crys and tears but when we left it was like she knew it was going to be okay. She held our hands and even reached for Joe to hold her. Praise the Lord she actually wrapped her tiny arms around my neck when we left the office building. She has not cried once since then (total prayer answered thank you for praying). We still can't get her to change clothes. She completely grabs at them and melts down when we try- we are about to attempt a wash cloth "bath" because she is so sticky from all the candy I gave her at the Civic Affairs this morning :) Then off to the 7-11 to buy her some more yogurt drink that she loves. She is doing great - MAJOR change in her since even this morning. It was so funny we ordered a ton of random "chinese" food for her and all she wanted was her Daddy's french fries --- She is such a Mabry! She is really enjoying the stickers (thanks aunt rae and emma). She is pulling off each one and sticking it on each other just another thing for her to put in her pocket which has about 30 ballons, candy :) SO far a good day

I find myself running out of bed to look at the newest blog and photo's! What a special day....Celebrating Libby Mabry! We play a game where we hide the stickers on Zanna's hands, feet, ears, knees and then sing a song while we find them! Oh where oh where is Zanna's sticker? Is it on her precious nose? No it's not no it's not! Is it on here precious hands...yes it is, yes it is! Then we add how God made your precious hands and we point out each line and her beautiful brown skin! It always makes for good eye contact! Love ya, Praising our maker, and celebrating each new day w/ Libby! Until the next post....Heather
