Six years ago today we met our precious daughter Olivia for the first time in a reception room with 14 other families at her orphanage in Fuling. Words cannot describe all of the emotions that I was feeling. She was handed over to us by her nanny wearing a little pink outfit. She was so beautiful and little. She appeared to look right through us with her big dark eyes. She never cried. She seemed to have a quiet confidence about her from the very beginning. Her report from the SWI said that she did "everything with meaning". We soon discovered that they were right on target with that description. She has been that way ever since. She is smart, sweet, stubborn, sensitive, bossy, funny, friendly, and fiesty. She is a big daddy's girl. She is very independent. She never meets a stranger. She likes to have the last word. She is very protective over her little sisters. She loves to play computer games. She likes to be outside. She is afraid of the dark. She lights up our world. We are so happy and blessed to have her for our daughter. We love you, Olivia Lu!
