Update

We received an update on Ellery on the 8th. Sometimes things are quite funny to read after translation. Apparently she knows the organs of her face, such as nose and eye. Very funny. We learned she is potty trained, yay for us. Very excited about not having to go back to diapers for a while. She also can count to two (funny too). She has grown a little and we got the most awesome picture of her smiling. So far she was not smiling in any of her photos. The photo from her update shows she has the cutest little dimples on her cheeks. We also noted in her new photo that her hair is shorter. I do not know why they do this in China. Apparently it is not for everyone because in one of the photos there are three other little girls in the photo and they all have pigtails. Hopefully they will not shave her head again before we get to China. I am dying to stick a bow on her head!

We also received the proceeds from the fundraiser at Rocky Grove Baptist Church. They were very generous and we are so thankful for all that they have done! What a giving bunch of folks!

So now I need to find the next 110 pieces of the puzzle and put it together. I will post picks when I get it done.

Thanks to everyone so far for your contribution to Ellery's orphanage!
