Petite Princesse et Grande Princesse
Evidemment, tout tourne autour de Lucie (sans jeu de mot) et Alice morfle un peu. Du coup, on est sortie toutes les 2 pour aller a la bibliotheque et manger une glace, pendant que Manu s'occupait de Lucie. C'etait super.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Obviously, everything revolves around Lucie and it is tough on Alice. So, Alice and I went out to go to the library and eat an ice cream, while Manu was caring for Lucie. We both had a great time.

Lucie est arrivee
Voila,
la raison du silence radio de ces dernier jours, c'est Lucie.
Notre nouvelle petite fille que nous sommes alles chercher, tous les trois, au "Cradle", notre agence d'adoption.
Parfois la vie vous reserve de belles surprises.
La plupart d'entre vous savez que nous avons toujours voulu adopter un enfant.
Apres 4 ans de Chinois, notre souhait etait d'adopter une petite Chinoise.
Notre vie aux US ne nous permettait pas de pouvoir adopter en dehors du pays.
Le destin nous a une fois de plus fait la faveur de la petite Lucie, Americaine d'origine Chinoise.
Toute la famille est tres heureuse. Sylvie est aux anges, Manu est ravi et Alice est tres fiere d'etre une grande soeur.
Lucie, elle, ne s'est reveille qu'une fois pour sa premiere nuit a la maison.
A bientot pour d'autres photos et nouvelles,
Lucie, Alice, Sylvie & Emmanuel

Voila,
the reason for the radio silence these last days, Lucie.
Our new little girl, that the three of us went to pick up at the "Cradle", our adoption agency.
Sometimes life gives you nice surprises.
Most of you know that we have always wanted to adopt a child.
After 4 years of Chinese classes, our wish was to adopt a little Chinese.
Our life in the U.S. did not allow us to be able to adopt outside the country.
Fate has given us a wonderful gift, Lucie, American of Chinese origin.
The whole family is very happy. Sylvie is in heaven, Manu is delighted and Alice is very proud to be a big sister.
Lucie, woke up only once for her first night at home.
See you soon for more photos and news
Lucie, Alice, & Emmanuel Sylvie
