We received Matthew from the civil affairs office this afternoon after a very long wait, he and the other children from luoyang arrived about 2 hours later then the other children. He was all smiles when he arrived after his very long car journey, gripping a snack. He really seems to like us and will hold up his arms for us to pick him up. He does have a bad cold and quite a cough which we are keeping an eye on. Matthew is much smaller than we thought, none of his shoes fit that we brought. He has very dry skin and puts his hands behind his head just like his older brother. He is a fantastic eater and loves snacks. He had a fried egg and congee for lunch. He has been sad when lying down and cries when we change him. Right now he is watching a little Pleasant Goat with Jeff. Huihui (which we are calling him now) plays with cars and especially the stacking cups, always moving his hands. Hope to post more later, another full day of running around. Oh, and our bus hit a car on our way back to the hotel. Sorry for the crazy post! Prayers for bonding and that his cough gets better would be much appreciated.




Arrived in style... wearing pink! Kept checking for an update before I went to bed last night, but had to wait until this morning to get it. So happy for you all! Welcome Matthew!
