Introducing LiIy Yan Ti MacDonald!!!!


We just arrived from an incredible day in Halifax. Here is our new daughter. Her chinese name is Lin Yan Ti. Lin is after her place of birth and Yan Ti means 'beautiful jade'. Lily's medical report looks wonderful, she is healthy and has normal growth and development. She is a deep sleeper and is very attached to her caregiver. Yah!!! She likes to listen to children's music and loves to play with toys such as ringing bells and dolls. The orphanage described Lily as a very active and lovely girl. We cannot wait to go get her. The kids are so excited about their little sister. Here are the pictures we received. We are looking forward to getting a smile out of those adorable chubby cheeks!!!
