What a surreal afternoon this has been! We walked into the civil affairs office, signed some papers, and they brought in this perfect little girl I've only seen in pictures. Words cannot even begin to describe the emotions I felt. Even though I didn't deliver her, I still felt just as much love that moment I saw her as I did with the Alex, Donovan and MaryKatherine. I shouldn't just say I; I mean we. Phillip and I are still in shock. We love this little girl; our daughter.....
Wow! Here are some pictures from today.
MK- You are going to love your little sister. You are going to have to teach her all the girl stuff you know!! She is going to love you so much. I love you more than the moon and stars sweetie!

Haylie wants Alex to check his email.
MK wants to give her little sister "Chun yu" ---as she is saying it a hug. We got on this morning and saw the pics. What a great moment. MK had some fabulous GO-GO boots (white and to the the knee) when she arrived back from Aunt Megans. We need to download a photo because it is soooo MKatherine.
We will post you about the events on email.
Congratualtions! There are no words to described how excited we are for you. What an emotional day for you all. I cannot imagine how you must have felt, one moment signing papers and the next being given this BEAUTIFUL little girl that is now your daughter. You have been blessed with a wonderful family and now you are even more blessed. This journey has been long and sometimes trying, but now that you have baby Quinn it has been worth every obstacle that you have been given and overcome. Today our whole family has grown and we too have been blessed with a new Niece and the kids a Cousin. Sarah said today after seeing the pictures of her new cousin this morning she can't wait to play dress-up and house with Quinn and MK. Of course I am sure there will be make-up involved too, watch out Quinn you are in for a ride. Maggie wants to sqeeze those checks (as do I)and kiss all over them and Andrew, well Andrew loves babies and just wants to hold her and hold her and hold her.
All our love,
Uncle Todd, Aunt Michelle, Andrew, Maggie and Sarah
Kathi, I can tell she is your daughter - she is eating already.

I am sooo happy for you. I know this day has been a long one coming. She is a true cutie. The kids in one of my academic labs asked me to pull up the pics so they could see them. Can't wait to meet the newest addition to the GMS family. It sounds like you and the Wingerts are in the same area. They have mentioned some of the same restaurants as you. Hopefully you guys can hook up for a minute or two before they leave. You'd love Leisl, she is crazy (her words). Till tomorrow's post.
Congratulations on the new member of the family. All of us at 722 Highridge are anxious to meet her. She's beautiful!! We look forward to seeing you all. Enjoy your time together in China.
