It is sooo cold here this weekend so we are staying in as much as we can. Last night we decided to watch our China videos. Oh my, the boys look so young! I had forgotten what we had taped, so it was interesting to watch. The most priceless piece of video we have is when we were walking into the Jiangxi Center of Adoption Service building. There were babies sitting on a bench together and Kevin videotaped them. One of those babies was Kamryn. (but we didn't know it yet) She was crying and the one nanny who was sitting with them lightly touched her head as if to calm her. It's the only sneak peak we have of her before she was placed in our arms.

Kamryn really didn't like to watch the video. She was obsessed with wanting to see mommy and daddy and her brothers and asked for herself. Then when she saw herself crying so hard during our gotcha moment, it really made her upset to the point of tears. She said she wanted to go bye bye and when Brendan asked her where she wanted to go, she said China. She's still saying that this morning.

We have on video Brendan feeding her cherrios for the first time and her first smile towards him. We have Matthew giving her the precious "snowman" blanket which she still loves to this day. We have her sitting up on the floor in the hotel room playing with toys. We have her laughing on the red couch as we are trying to take her picture. My goal this year is to get the videos and pictures to Pergamon Design so that they can create a DVD of the happy moments to music so that Kamryn will enjoy watching it.

It must have been fun watching the videos. I still get tears of happiness in my eyes when I look at the pictures that you sent us and the ones that I took when you came home. That was a wonderfuly week.
Good memories, but I'm glad it's over. Kamryn is so much fun now.
Love, Mom
