I'm glad you finally figured it out (it can be frustrating when technology conspires against you!--I know, I've experienced it in the last few days too!). I glad you like the pictures, and I know how you feel because we think Jade is an angel too. Savannah too is just being so good (aside from a few melt downs, and her feeling like she wants to be a baby). She is a huge help and she really loves playing with Jade, so that's a good thing! Yay! It's so good to hear from you. Tell Kyle "hi" from his brother-in-law and sister-in-law and two nieces in China for us, okay? Talk soon. Melissa Jill, your post made me laugh!

You guys are going to get a kick out of this one. I have posted about 5 emails and none of them are showing up? I thought, I wonder if there is some sort of delay?So then I am noticing other posts showing up after I had already posted? So I decided to go through all of the steps that I did to see what I was doing wrong... You know me a gal a few words, ha ha I was typing over the Ctl + Enter on the bottom so I was not doing all of the steps to get it to go. What a dork I am! I love all the pictures Jade is an absolute angel. Savannah is a sweet little peanut helper and Mark and Melissa, you are very lucky to have such a wonderful family. I love all of melissa's posts, you are a great story teller. Looking at all the pictures I was bawling like a baby, I know this is such and incredible time for all of you. Jade will bond with all of you and things will be "normal" before long. I love you guys and can't wait to see you all. Love Jilly xoxoxoxoxoxoxox Oh my GOSH!!!!!!!!

I'm at work, so I'm really trying not to cry at all, but it isn't working! I'm thinking of you all constantly and praying for Jade's broken little heart. I'm glad she's bonding with Mark, but sad for you because it must be a terribly raw time all the way around, with dashes of deliriously happy thrown in. I'm very glad for Savannah that Jade likes her. It would be so hard for Savannah to process what mommy is having to process. I shall now pat your hand and make you a sandwich. Love you....and the rest of your brood, too. xoxo Dearest Punkin Melissa, I don’t know who to cry for first – You, Jade or her nannies.

I am sure every moment she seems at all content is a gift and a hope for her future. Thankfully Jade's neediness is a way to get Savannah very into this transition time. We continue to pray!!

We continue to pray for Jade as she gets to know you and attach to all of you. She does sound like such a sweet little baby. We imagine so many times a day what you might be doing,and it brings back so many memories of our adoption trips for our girls. Many hugs from Wisconsin!
