And Merrilee Makes Three

We started this blog to document our journey to our baby in China. We decided to adopt around Christmas of 2004. Our information went to China in January, 2006. On Tuesday, July 8, 2008, we finally got our referral and a picture of our little girl. Her Chinese name was Pu Fu Na and we have named her Merrilee. We returned to the U.S. with her on August 29, 2008, and we've decided to keep this blog going so we can share with you some of Merrilee's memorable moments.

Merrilee Meets Santa At The Mall

This morning, we awoke bright and early and ventured off to the Columbia Mall to see Santa.

First, mommy took Merrilee up to Santa's mailbox...

Merrilee whispered all of her Christmas wishes into her hand, and dropped them in the mailbox. When Merrilee opened the mailbox, out came a gust of wind and a blast of snow...

We hear the mailbox is a direct line to the North Pole. Next, it was off to Santa's lap. See for yourself what Merrilee thought of it all... We are counting down the hours now until our first Christmas as a family!
