When Emme wakes up she will usually ask one of us? "Is this a Good Good day?" What she is really asking us is, "Do I get to go to school today?" I am not sure why, but this is how she refers to her pre-school! When we drive by it, she will say "Good Good Day!" When we pull onto the exit that takes us to school on Thursdays and Friday's she will light up, and squeal, "It's a Good Good day!" Her precious enthusiasm about most things is contagious! Life is truly "GOOD" when Emme Jade is a part of it...

On a separate note, I got a very sweet note from Emme's orphanage this week.. They wanted to know how she was doing. The nannies wanted us to know they miss her very much! I completely understand why they do.. It is a blessing that they loved her enough to let her go. We are so thankful for the caregivers that raised our sweet girl for three years! Their impact on her has made all the difference in her first eight months home! Here was their note to Emme, translated by our sweet friend, Jeanne in Yangzhou: "Emme, we wish you healthy forever!" We will continue to keep in touch with Yangzhou. And, you never know.. Perhaps one day we will get to go back and share our special "little bean" again with her first family! I hope so!
