In Taiwan

It is Sunday Sept 28 and our world at this moment is scripted by not only picking up our duaghter, but also from Super typhoon Jangmi. We have just been informed that the city will be shut down today due to the typhoon. WOW, we travel half way around the world and experience a typhoon.

Back To our daughter. We meet her yesterday for the first time for a playdate. WOW is she adorable. For the first hour she was in a semi coma state and did not respond to anything we did . We finally broke through by showing her picutres on the camera and then we progressed to playing with her using an etch-a-sketch. We even got smiles. Then we moved onto a game of blocks and she dazzeled us with laughter as she threw the blocks and Ed caught them. That was a hit. She did not want us to pick her up and did not want us to change her diaper, small steps. We left the play date with kisses on the cheeks and the realization that we are now parents and this beautiful little girl is our daughter. We know there will be some ruff times ahead but we will work together to get through them. Moday will be a memorable experience we are sure.

Unfortuately we forgot to pack our cable to move pictures from the camera to the computer. Now the storm has shut down the city so we dont know when we will be able to pick one up, we do have some great pictures and movies to show.

The staff at Chung Yi was awsome. We love Taipei. So far early into our trip this has already been the experience of a life time. We cant wait to get our daughter and start as a family for life.
