Finding our China Girl: Today, we went visiting!

Chelsea's Help International

Introducing: Chelsea’s Help International – Helping Orphans in China We had fun playing with the kids at the Zhongshan Childrens Welfare Institute (ZCWI). The ZCWI is one of 56 orphanages in the province of Guangdong . The ZCWI is home to over 300 children. We wanted to do something for the place that gave Chelsea a home for the first 2 years of her life. We plan to send shipments over a couple of times a year. We want to start by sending soccer balls to our friends at the ZCWI. If you would like to help, send your contributions to: CHI PO BOX 2633 Ruston, LA 71272. We would like to send by April 1, 2013. Thanks for sharing.

Today, we went visiting!

The boys started back to school today. So after getting dressed and doing a little clean up, Chelsea and I went out for some visits. First stop was Lincoln Builders (our family's contracting business)

She went right to work. She gets that ethic honestly:)

Then lots of pretty ladies gave her a lot of attention:

This is Georgia who notarized all our adoption documents, some more than once. Thank you! She let Chelsea try on her glasses.

She got to meet her cousin-in-law, Patrick, and she took right to him.

This is Patrick's son Grey's pic on his computer.

Monkey see, monkey do

Then she got to meet Uncle Danny (Papaw's brother)

She likes her new car seat. We went to the carwash and she loved all the foam on the windows.

We went by the church and met the office staff (no pics but they loved her) and then by to see Mr. Dud, my broker. Then it was home for lunch and a nap. She went to her bed and pointed at it. Sleepyhead slept for 2 hours. Then it was a quick trip to Walgreen's for her first buggy ride. She liked it so much she screamed when I took her out.

After that, we went to the boys' school. They could not wait for their classes to meet her.

Then it was back home for playing and visitors. Cayden said he had the best day of school ever. He also told me that all of his days at school were going to be awesome because he would have something fun to look forward to everyday when he got home. Sweet brothers!

Patrick's wife and their three children brought dinner (yes, we are getting spoiled) and visited. The girls brought drawings for Chelsea and Grey kept hugging her. She didn't know what to think about that! Ellen kept changing her bow. She loved that!
