First smile


They took us out to a local restaurant tonight and Maddie had a very good time. We got her to smile a few times before this, but not for long and not on camera. They were playing birthday music very loud and she was dancing and waving her arms and then suddenly cracked a smile. We got another one out of her for the camera. Of course, she still burst into tears when the waitresses tried to play with her, she still mistrusts all strangers, grandmas beware. She has a cold and congestion, and had been pretty miserable all day, so it was a good break.

Still having issues with this stupid chinese computer. Tonight it won't even let me get to our site to check webmail. I'll keep trying...

Hey Guys, loving the Blog and hearing about what is happening. Sorta had a problem figuring out which one was Madie at the White Swan, but finally decided on the one with the dark jacket on...right? Sorry Kim is not feeling well. Reall bummer when I know she wanted to see so many things, but she is coming home with my niece and that is the important thing!!!

Hugs, Auntie Sharon
