say hello to our new daughter!

We interrupt your regularly scheduled broadcast to bring you this special update:

Annabelle Mei Yun Mao is now a Sublett!  Well, the documents have to be finalized, but our adoption agency just called to give us the news.  We should be headed to China some time in November.

I can’t really put into words all the emotions that are rolling around in our hearts and bellies right now…we’re getting a big old care package ready to send to her.  Any ideas of what we should include?  We’ll send pictures, so that she has some idea of what we look like.  What else would you send your new 9 year old daughter who doesn’t speak English?  🙂
