It's Official!

This morning was our adoption ceremony and Ding Cheng officially became Michael Ding Grover! It felt so good to finally hold the adoption decree and know that the little boy that has been our son in our hearts for over a year was now finally legally ours! So, in lieu of a baby announcement….

To celebrate, we took Michael to West Lake and road a boat to Three Moon Island. Michael loved running around, yelling all sorts of things in Chinese that everyone else on the island could understand except for us. Hmmmm….a little awkward. He loves to have his picture taken and always holds up two fingers and yells, “Chiesay” (“Cheese!”) He is such a ham!
