Finally!!!......We Have a Girl!

It is with great joy and love that we announce Karlee Mei Johnston! She is just 8 months old and from the Jiangxi Province and currently living in the Ning Du Social Welfare Institute. Her Birthday is October 3rd 2006! Her given name is Ning Mei Xiang. We are thrilled beyond words! I got the call today at 12:55 while Mom was in surgery! Duane was at home and got the e-mail and I begged him to open the pictures to see what she looked like! I just got home and shaking like a leaf! I can't beleive this is really happening but it feels wonderful. She is a deep sleeper, can hold her head when she is on her tummy, locate direction of sounds and voices, visually follow toys, follow head movement from left to right, can tell the difference from aquaintances and strangers, laughing out loud, she is quiet and active and likes music, she smiles and like quietness, fond of toys and games, she's close to her nanny, has no teeth and a little hair!
