Red Couch Photos

Hi All
We just got back from our red couch photos with all the other families. All the babies were great...the O'Meara toddler...not so great. She screamed through the entire thing and had a complete meltdown on the way back to the hotel.

At our last province Samantha was familiar with a few people we saw over and over again. I think that delayed her grieving process and we are now in it. She will hopefully get through this and allow us to comfort her along the way. Thang, if you read this, how do you say "You're okay" in Mandarin? How about "No" and "Yes". Guess I should have done a little more studying before I left.

The flight times I listed earlier are p.m. for arrival to Grand Rapids.

Here are some pictures...

There is always one or two children in EVERY picture who doesn't want to be there:) The picture with all of the babies looking at her was adorable. Wait until you get home and things will start to settle in. Not long now!
