Pictures!!!!
We finally have our cable modem set up, so we get to post pictures!!! Yeah!
Today is Monday, day 5 of our journey. After not being able to see Taylor yesterday, we went to the baby house and spent a couple of hours with her again this morning. We went shopping for clothes for her over the weekend, so this was the first chance we've gotten to put one of her new outfits on her. These are little milestones for us!
We were very encouraged by her progress today. She is trying so hard to crawl and to sit up on her own. She makes cute little grunts when she gets frustrated that she can't do it yet. It will happen soon. We can't wait!
Two of the adopting mothers at the baby house got to break their children free today. It was exciting to see the emotion on their faces as they were finally able to take their children with them. We are still a long way off from having that moment for ourselves, but we can't wait until the day comes. In the meantime, we are just enjoying every moment we can get with Taylor. We wish that the baby house was a little cooler (no air condiioning makes it very hot!) We can take her outside though if we want, which is nice. Today we walked around the play area for a while. Taylor really seems to be taking to us, and she loves to be held.
And yes, her ears are that big...
So as far as last evening went: All the adopting families got together at 7pm for dinner at Ali Baba. This restaurant was amazing. There were ten of us all together plus one surprise, Dana's baby! It came as a shock to all of us that Serena was free. We had dinner and chatted until about 10pm and then walked home.
We have become addicted to the TV series 24. We bought it not knowing how it would be but we have found that we want to watch more and more! Unfortunately we only bought seasons 1 and 2 but we will do without the rest. We have a ton of movies, books, etc to entertain us but they only go so far. Thank goodness you all write to us! We get so excited to read the comments!

She is positively gorgeous, beautiful, precious and most of all I'm here Grandpa. There are no words that can express how I feel other than the keyboard is going to short out if I dont back away from it. Unbelievable, I'm so excited, Do you thing she needs a doll house yet, it's probably to early for that but you can tell her her grandpa loves her and cant wait to meet her and play with her and buy her toys, and hold her and kiss her and have her lay next to grandpa taking a nap. Wow!!!!!!!, I'm so excited I'm shaking. I miss you guys so much. She sure looks like shes eating good, just like her grandpa. I love her , I love her, I love her. We will spoil her beyond belief. If you need me there I'm Coming. Hugs and Kisses and God bless and keep you safe and happy'
Grandpa, aka Papa.
Hi- your daugher is precious!! I just discovered the yahoo Kaz boards and I am also using Commonwealth as my agency. We are still in dossier phase, but are praying for an infant daughter as well. Love your post and love reading your stories. THANK YOU for sharing it even with people that don't know you. You are blessed indeed!!!
The humid weather sounds like Florida to me!
Warmly,
Susan from Florida
OMG! Taylor is just a doll! She is perfect! I am so happy for you. I must say that as I read the comments from your fam and friends - I feel so blessed for little Taylor. She has a huge bunch of people who care so much and love her so much already! I got all misty eyed just reading what Grandpa (aka. Papa)wrote...I am beyond happy for you and can't wait to see more pics of your beautiful daughter...Enjoy all of the memories that you will be making!
Tony/Meagan,
Terry, Vanessa, Emily and I are just oohhing and ahhing over your new baby girl. She is beautiful and we can't wait to see her. What a proud daddy you make! We miss you both and hope that the time will go fast so that we can see you again. Take care of yourselves.

Hey Guys:
No words can explain just how beautiful she is, and I just love the one of Tony and Taylor. We need one of Maegan and Taylor too. After everyone else is done spoiling her I hope we get a chance to do the same. I look forward to showering her with more Snoopy stuff than she can imagine.
Debbie took me from the lowest of lows yesterday to the highest of highs when she was able to find me Taylor's 1st Snoopy. I can't wait to either send it to her or give it to her in person.
Let us know if you need anything. Our thoughts and prayers are with the three of you.
Love Always,
Mark
P.S. Mom and dad save some spoiling for the rest of us. To Taylor hugs and kisses
Taylor is so beautiful!!!! I do have to say that it brought tears to my eyes to see the pictures of her, especially the one of Tony holding her. I know you have waited to long for this special moment, and I am SOOOO happy for you both. I know that you two will make wonderful parents and that Taylor is very lucky to have you! Can't wait to meet her in person! Take care!
I love the picture of her with dad. Absolutely precious. Can't wait to see more. I like how you guys set it up right at the top of the page. =).
Questions: any idea how they picked her for you? can you or do you get to ask the orphage director? how much history do they give you about her?
She is gorgeous. Looks a lot like my Sophie. Congrats.
Wow! Taylor is so beautiful! I can't imagine how happy the two of you must be!! Congratulations!
Grandpa VanSant says good morning Taylor, Maegan and Tony. Another day has gone by and the good thing about that is I'm one day closer to seeing this new family intact.
I cannot stop thinking about the little one.She looks like she's always ready to play and if you pictures are indictative of her moods she sure looks likes she loves you both very much. I thank God every day for allowing this all to come together. We are all truly blessed by her entrance into this world. she will be so loved by everyone. it's 0630hrs and I guess it's time for me to go to work so I'll talk to you soon. XXX OOO
Dad
SHE IS BEAUTIFUL! I'm so happy that we finally got to see pictures! You both look so at happy in the pictures, it's good to see. I'm looking forward to your homecoming!
Love,
Amanda
Maegan & Tony
Taylor is beautiful and her ears are beautiful!
Am printing out the pictures to show to everyone. Can't wait to see her in person.
Oooohhh, what a cute little peanut baby you have!! I love those little girls! It's funny to see picture of you in the playroom, it seems so long ago when I was there with Serena and it was only a week ago! Meeting you the other night was great but I wish we got to talk more. Having a baby at the table with you can be a "little" distracting. You will know how distracting before you know it so enjoy those childless dinners while you can!!
Enjoy your stay here and I hope we can meet up before I leave, but keep in touch!

Love
Mark
