Thanks for all the kind words

Hey, thank you for all the comments and email notes. They mean everything to us.

Sydney, Jay and I have been up most of latter part of night. Still having trouble getting turned around in time (kids). Jordan woke up once and did NOT want to back in crib. Cried and cried. So she is sleeping in a bed with pillows all around her. Jeff is sleeping in room with her.

Sleep score Jeff 10 hours, Lori 4

Love, the walking zombie Lori

Oh Lori, you must be seeing double by now. There is nothing worse than sleep deprivation.
Mom is having trouble posting comments and wants me to let you know that she loves you and is following all of the blog. She thinks Jordan is absolutely beautiful.
Evan is standing here and says, "He hopes you are having a good trip. Jordan is so cute and I like her chubby cheeks."
Will says, "I love you Jordan... and Sydney , and Jay. I think Jordan and Jay have the best cheeks. I miss you Sydney."

We can't believe how beautiful and sweet our new cousin/niece is.

XXOO,
Jenn

Hi Lori, Jeff, Sydney & Jay--

CONGRATULATONS!!

"3" times is a charm, right!!!??. ;-)

Oh my goodness...Jordan is such a beautiful little girl! She seems to be a happy baby girl... a "Miss Cheeks", too! You have been truly blessed.

I can sympathize with your sleep deprivation--rest when you can.

Great photos!

Eagerly await you next updates.
Thanks for sharing!!

Love,
Mary C.

Hey Lori...

Just a thought...

When you wake - Order up a gallon of Gensing tea- and just keep drinking it throughout the day.
(2) things will happen...your energy levels will increase + the trip to the latrene will keep you awake;-) I know, just what you need---sick humour!

Dear Sydney,
I miss you, I hope you're having fun in China. I think it is awesome that you have a new sister like I do. Harper and Jordon will be able to crawl and walk around together. When are you coming home? I miss playing with you. My mom says China is very far away. I love you and Jay and Jordon.
Love, Rhamsi and Harper
P.S. Congratulations to all of you on your new addition. We are so happy for you. We love reading the blog and keeping up with all of your news! Congrats~ The Foleys

Hi Lori,

Congratulations on getting Jordan. She is absolutely beautiful! I laughed to myself when you said "we will turn her into a high-maintenance Petrie child soon enough". That's exactly what Scott and I said to each other when we got Anna and it's working out just like we thought!

Good luck and have fun in your remaining time in China! I'll write more later.

Love,
Mary

Lori,

Glad all is going well - Jordan is so lucky. Hope you have been able to get some rest. Why is it that the guys always manage to get sleep? Can't wait to hear about your trip to Jinjiang. Take lots of pictures. If you get a chance, let them know how well Olivia (Luoluo) is doing.
