Sean, Cortney, Colton & Abby... congratulations on the beginning of a wonderful journey. And now I can keep up with what is going on with you in between Cortney's phone calls! Yea!! I had tears in my eyes reading about the journey thus far. And I LOVE the pictures... such a beautiful little girl, full of spirit... I just know she is meant to be a Dotson, and can hardly wait to meet her! Love you all!

Even though I call every day for an update it was fun to read the family timeline and of course, I never can look too often at the pictures.

Meilyn,
It has been so exciting to share this journey with your family. I hope someday you will understand just how many people loved you before they ever met you. I'm counting the days until I can lay eyes on you in person... with tears of joy in my eyes.
Love and hugs, Elizabeth
ps: big hugs to Meilyn's Nom and Dad, too... I know they long to meet their daughter, and could use a few.

I can't wait to hear more about her and your journey. Tell her Ellarie sends her a Wenzhou "NiHao", and we all send her our love! Enjoy your time in Hangzhou and Guangzhou.

Meilyn - you are so beautiful! My heart and eyes are so full right now, looking at the wonderful pictures and videos of little Meilyn with her parents... the end of one long journey and the beginning of a wonderful new one.
Cortney and Sean, I know how you both have longed to hold your daughter in your arms! Watching you finally snuggling and playing with her is just amazing to me. Congratulations! Can't wait to meet her!

Hello again Meilyn, and hello to your mom and dad too! We enjoyed reading about your adventures on June 5th. We went on a field trip today, and we got to play with baby goats, or 'kids' as they are called. Tomorrow is Jelly Bean Field Day. Colton says 'hi'! We will visit again another day. Love...Mrs. Tilque's second graders

We had Jelly Bean Field Day this morning...the weather was cool and windy, but no rain! This afternoon we got to dunk teachers in the dunk tank...it was so much fun! Colton threw a ball at Mr. H., but missed the target...that is okay, because Mr. H. got dunked by someone else! Colton cannot wait for you to get home!! Sending love from Colton and Mrs. Tilque's second graders!

We love you...Mrs. Tilque's second graders
