What a day!

Well we finally got to meet Maggie! She is the youngest and the biggest in the group!!!

We are way too tired to post much tonight, however we promise to write lots tomorrow about our first moments with Maggie. We do have a few pictures though!

These are two pictures of Maggie right after she was ready for bed tonight. She is soooo cuddley! She actually prefers Brent... however I have no doubt that will change after he goes back to work.
These pictures were taken moments after we received Maggie. What a chaotic and emotional process that was! We will write more about that tomorrow.

Paul with his new daughter Lily.
Cathy Roche with her Lily....
Andrew and his little sister...Maggie just went to sleep and we are beat. We will post more tomorrow.
We love and miss you all.

Congratulations Lisa & Brent. She's adorable! Smallest & biggest, hey? Same thing happened in our travel group. It's amazing to see Maggie & Lily Roche with more hair. They certainly look healthy. Can;t wait to hear more and see more pictures of the rest of the group.

Lisa,

Congratulations Maggie is beautiful as is Lily. You must be so happy now that you have 2 angels.

Holly preferred Dave all while we were in China but like you say it didn't take too long for her to go to me as well.


Enjoy

Thanks Lisa for posting pictures of Cathy, Andrew & Lily. Oh my God, she is just beautiful. All the babies are just so precious and lucky to have families that love them so much already. Congratulations all you moms, dads, and big brothers & sisters. I can't wait to see more pictures.

Lily, I will be fighting with nanny to see who gets to hold you first. Chances are I already know who is going to win.

Love you,

Hi Lisa, Brent, Gracie and Maggie,
Congratulations on your beautiful new baby and on Gracie becoming a big sister. She is so bright and healthy looking. We know the emotions you are feeling right now, as we were in the exact civil affairs office 4 months ago to the day. Seeing you there brings back such beatiful memories. Cherish every moment (I know you will), and come home safe.
Lily is so precious as well, please pass on our congratulations to the Roache family, and to the remainder of the Newfoundland families who are sharing in this amazing journey.
Can't wait to see the upcoming days events! Have fun...
Lisa, Noel, Sarah and Mia Worthman

We can only imagine how thrilled and overjoyed you are to finally get to hold Maggie in your arms for the very first time.(This had to be a very emotional day for everyone)We are so happy for the both of you! Your family is finally complete!! ---We can't wait to meet her!

We saw the interview CBC had on T.V. this evening of the other families adopting from China.

We will be waiting to hear more from you tomorrow. Enjoy your time with your new daughter!

Hi

My niece is just as beautiful as I thought. I can't wait to hold her and kiss her. I will call Gracie to see if she saw the pictures. The show is taped and ready to deliver- March 16, I can't wait.

Finally we don't have to wonder how Maggie is doing - you have her safe and sound. This morning Brooklyn went over to the computer and said "Picture - Maggie", so I had to show her the 4 pictures of Maggie. Did I forget to mention there are only 4 pictures of Maggie??? Brooklyn wants more - you guys don't have to be in the pictures - just Maggie would be fine.

We can't wait to meet her!!

CONGRATS!! She is beautiful! We came home with my Chenzhou sister, AnnaClaire, in December and she was also a daddy's girl at first. She is now very much a mommy's girl. It seems like many of the Chenzhou babies are Daddy's girls at first... hmm.

She is BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!! Congrats again on your sweet daughter.
