Its 7pm here. Emma is asleep in her crib and Jenn is sacked in the bed. Today we went next door to the Chinese Imagration and Adoption office in Chingqing. We got our picture taken as a familiy, we placed our finger prints on our names, and China recognized us as Emma Rose's offical adotive parents. Outside of that, we have spent the day being parents. We have changed wet diapers, played, bottled, napped, and never left the room (actually I went out to buy a stroller and water). Now we have to wait for 2 days for the passpot paperwork to arrive then its off to another city to start on the US side of things. Keep sending those comments. We will save them, print them, and give them to Emma when she is old enough to appreciate them.

Mr. B's Extra Credit today...After buying water to drink because in China you can;t drink the water from the sink in almost all locations, explain how it is (in detail) you can drink the water in the us.

Congratz Mrs. Brown...I'm actually sitting in the computer lab pretending to do the research assignment for your class. xD but I had to see the blog for myself... I can't wait to hear how everything goes in Physics well enjoy your new blessed addition. Congradulations once more.

Emma Rose is beautiful. I can tell she already has her Mommy and Daddy wrapped around her little finger. That's o.k. Twenty years will go by like the blink of an eye, so go ahead and spoil her. Hope her ears are o.k. today. Call anytime. Linda and Larry Stovall
WE ON TEAM HONOR WISH YOU A HAPPY LIFE IN FUTURE!!
Hey, Vanous and Jennifer!!! The baby is even prettier than the first pictures you showed us at school. No, she is truly BEAUTIFUL!!! Our family checks in every night to share in your joy. Actually, I can't keep from crying even when I read the funny comments. It touches my heart to see you smile, Jennifer. The comment about signing the papers promising to love her forever was the sweetest thing I have ever heard. You two will be such good parents, and I want to be the first to hold her when you bring to school. Love you both!!!wn
Vanous, I sent you a comment from Maverick's gmail account. He is worried that everyone is going to think he is mushy!!! Actually, he is!!!

Dear Brown family, your classes are doing fine, but we miss you. We are going to start on portfolio pieces tomorrow. S nake has taken a dislike to Ms. ELLis, it hurdles itself at the glass at least once a day. Ms. Ellis sits very close to the window and says every man for himself. Anyway we are looking forward to meeting Emma Rose. Much love, ms. ELLIS AND CLASS.
