"GOTCHA!"

Mission accomplished, at least for the first day. I think I watch Star Trek too much. Everything occured at Warp speed today. Nobody could reallly sleep this morning and most families were up by 4-5 am. and eating breakfast by 6:30-7:00. The official "gotcha" day also coincided with China's childrens day celebration. At 10am 5 families got their matches and it was very dramatic. I was the photographer and videographer. the second 5 families got their matches roughly 25 minutes later because the van got lost. We proceeded to Walmart to buy gifts for the orphanage and rui supplies. Our match came roughly at 4pm and there was a lot of crying (not from me) and then filling paperwork for the documents needed to be submitted tomorrow.

Zhang Rui cried for the first 2 hours. Then she fell asleep when she wore out on my right ear. She then progress from crying, to standing, eating, playing with stacking cups, talking, tossing, stacking the cups correctly, rolling away, throwing, laughing and sharing the universal language called "NO" by shaking her head. I't about 10:30 and I'm ready to crash. Good thing we purchased instant noodle bowls for dinner. At the moment, Zhang Rui doesn't like cheerios or fish crackers. Guess what I ate for dinner tonight?

Zhang Rui's english name will be Katherine Grace Locke. She reminds me of my boss's daughter Katie, who is a nuclear ball of energy. I need a way to tap that energy. I'm looking forward to his advice. Today Arlene is soo sore from carrying Katherine, that she took an advil. I better eat a big breakfast tomorrow, in case I'm stuck eating fish and o's for dinner.
