Natalie's referral photo. I'm guessing she was about 12-14 months old at the time of this picture.
We are SO Happy!!! More details to follow very soon.
Lori shared your news with me and I just wanted to say a HUGE congratulations!!!! Your daughter is absolutely GORGEOUS!!!! We might actually be traveling to China around the same time:-) Enjoy the weekend staring at your daughter.
:-) So happy for you guys. She's adorable. Her expression reminds me of Willow's serious expression in the first photo I saw of her. Hope you have a beautiful weekend with Gary preparing for this wonderful new chapter in your lives. xoxoxox Bonnie
You all are gonna be the best parents ever and this little girl is just so fortunate to be coming into such a great family (isn't that right Katie & Louis?)
Hope that your transition to parenthood is smoother from here on and happens quickly!
Remember to take lots of pictures to share (and because they do grow up quickly)
She is beautiful! Congratulations! Our daughter is from Jiangxi, also. We can't wait to see more pictures and read about your trip to her. Steve, Sandy, Logan, and Carly (Feng Yue Yi)
I am so happy for you! I remember vividly when I saw Kristy's picture for the first time. She is now nine years old, but the memory is as clear as could be. You have so much joy ahead of you!
Oh my! Popping in from RQ to offer our most joyful congratulations on the "official" paperwork arrival of Miss Natalie. She is such a beautiful blessing and we're thrilled for you. And I have to say, she's going to have so much fun with your two adorable Newfies--especially Katie. Our five year old daughter was completely enamored with Katie's pink bows... Happy congratulations to all.

Congratulations! Just found your blog through the CCAI Yahoo group. Have a wonderful journey! We still are in love with AA's referral day picture, most precious day for us too!
Congratulations. You daughter is beautiful. You won't come down off of that cloud, life just keeps getting better. Found your blog through CAFT. Aww, she is gorgeous.

"Welcome home to the Happy Haus" is the greeting I used to receive from Gary when we arrived home from work each day. Gary and I brought our daughter Natalie home from China in November 2011 to live with us in our cozy cottage. In October of 2013, we unexpectedly lost Gary, our dear husband, father and friend.
Our family includes our two sweet Newfoundland dogs, Katie and Louie. Newfoundlands are working dogs, so we make sure our two always have a job to do. Katie and Louie are both certified therapy dogs and bring lots of joy to people who are in need of some Newfie love. They have also competed in Rally Obedience. Katie has earned a Rally Advanced title and Louie has earned a Rally Excellent title. In keeping with Newf tradition, Katie has become a proficient draft dog while Louie prefers practicing water rescue whenever he gets an opportunity. They are also both protectors of their little sister, Natalie.
