Introducing, our son, Max Ruifu Green!!!!!!

Here he is folks!!!! What can I say, we are both flying on cloud nine!!! Max is such a great baby. He is very easy going, happy and playful. What a good eater too! He is smaller than I thought but healthy and solid. He tries to talk and laughs aloud. I am beginning to teach him sign language and he is pretty receptive as he likes to copy what you do. He walks with some help and will walk holding on to the furniture. I think he will be motoring very soon by himself. I just know Sonja will love her baby brother. We miss Sonja very very much and can't wait to see her and give her a great big HUG!!!!! Grandma and Grandpa, please tell Sonja we love and miss her very much and give her a big hug from all of us will you please?

Well, I will try to post more later. We love and miss you all very much. Thanks for all of the e mails. It means a great deal to us!

This photo was taken about 20 minutes after getting Max. It has been a whirlwind day! Max is a very loving, happy and easy going little man. He has taken to both of us very well. He went right to me and when I handed him to Dan, he just looked at him and never fussed either time. What a GREAT Day!!!!!

Happy and proud Papa!

Tina Miles and sweetie pie Aiyana!

Our friends and travel mates Tina, Steve and Aiyana Miles. I will post a better picture of Aiyana later.

Our group photo. The family with the two older daughters (seen at the left) are from Amsterdam and the are the parents of Max's crib mate! We were able to exchange e mails etc and I gave them the photo I had of their daughter taken at the orphanage. They were happy to receive it as it is another piece of their daughters puzzle. I was happy to help them and also very happy to have met them. As the father of Max's crib mate said "they are like family".

The director of Max's orphanage is the man sitting directly in front of me. Also in the photo is the other New life family we traveled with. They are great people and their daughter is absolutely adorable! The women sitting in the front next to the director is the provincial director for Gansu province and the woman on the end is the notary.

Here he is! These are photos taken at the meeting to do the paperwork. I'm not sure if we will be able to get the video uploaded but will see if I can get the camera drivers from Sony.com.
