Introducing our beautiful daughter!



David and I are thrilled to announce our daughter. Her Chinese name is Ji Wen Zhou (Wen would be the first name). She is from the Jiangxi province which is the southern part of China. She will be one year old on May 15, 2007. We are so in love!!!! Our daughter is so beautiful. We already love her chubby cheeks and her mohawk style hair! We will be waiting for a few days to receive the FedEx with all the official paperwork for us to sign the acceptance. Then we wait for travel approvals (TAs) to arrive and plan travel to China in 6-8 weeks. We're making our calls - bear with us.

WOO HOOOO! If I'm this excited, I can't imagine how you are both feeling! She is adorable, and I see a curious twinkle in those eyes of brown!! This was the best email, and for once glad I was working late. Love to all THREE of you!

Melanie, Happy Mother's Day! Congratulations to both of you. I just love that adorable little face. I am so happy for you I have tears in my eyes. Such a blessing. I can't wait to get started on her blanket. I already have the girlie fleece, but I didn't want to start until you were sure your little girl is a little girl. Claire (Subir's Mom)
