The End : To another day.

An end to a wonderful day has almost arrived.   We've seen Zoe's personality blossom bit by bit.   It is so cute to watch her try to figure things out.   For example, today she wore capri leggings which apparently she has never had on before.   So she tried to pull them down, but they weren't long enough so then she tried to make shorts out of them by pulling them way up on her thighs!   Anytime she gets her hands on something she tries to keep it all for herself by hiding it or holding on and grabbing more things to fill up her arms.   And when she sits waiting (ie dinner etc.) she fidgets with her hands as if just trying to occupy herself.   So many of the little things she does make my heart break.  And yet on the flip side she shows her ornery spirit and strong willed attitude.   She definitely has a mind of her own.   I can't wait to get her home and all settled.  In the meantime, the adventure continues with shopping, going to the huge grocery store (they always seem to be down in the basements below the shopping malls); trying to find food when we speak little mandarin, and trying to get the food we want in restaurants.   It really is all a wonderful adventure and I write this blog so we can remember it all to share with Zoe when she is older.  By tomorrow I will have forgotten half of this already because my mind will be full of all the experience of that day.

We miss you so much Brady and wish you could have been here with us.
