Introducing Miss Kellum-Ann ChunYu Parker
Well... here she is and she is beautiful. We were given her about 3:30 this afternoon and as of yet, we have not heard her cry. We have heard "da da da", uh uh and seen many many precious smiles.
We went to the supermarket on the way back to the hotel and while we were in there whenever she heard the loud music she would sing and kick. We put her down one time and she began to sway and dance and laugh. She will imitate anything that you do and she loves Nathan.
She is taking a nap at the moment, I rocked her about 3 minutes and she was gone. The Director of the orpahange came and said that she was their favorite and that she was spoiled.
Thank you for your prayers... they are the reason we are here safely and the reason Kellum-Ann is doing so well.
Here are the pictures, more to follow. I am exhausted, it really took alot out of us. Very emotional, even though I did NOT cry. I guess it has so emotional and dramatic for so long, I was just ready.

Well so much for a gloating grandparent.... I printed the pictures and took them to Sue Nell, Huel, Aunt Josie, Aunt Clois, Debbie T., Geraldine, and Josephine. They all say that she favors the Parkers with that black hair and dark eyes!! Some even said that she favors Nathan. We are so excited!! I put the pink ribbon on your mailbox. I made me one and put it on our box, too.
Everything is okay at home. We checked the dogs, cats, and took in the mail this morning. Everything is fine. You all don't worry about anything here. Just enjoy your family time together. We will be SO glad to have all of you home. Lots of love,

Sylvie's mom:
Hi your photos remind me so much of mine. Your baby looks so happy and fitting in with your family. Sylvie also started that dancing and singing right away. She did it mostly while we'd travel around the city and when she heard music. Put on Chinese music channel and I bet she'll dance and crank her arms. Try it!!!! So beautiful

Vicki, This is Jackie Cottle. Autumn was just showing me the pictures of that precious daughter and I wanted to say how very happy THE COTTLES are for you, Blair and Nathan and Kellum-Ann. What a wonderful blessing. Having adopted children, many times people will say to us, THE CHILDREN are so blessed to have ya'll, and I always say NO, we are so BLESSED that God chose us to give them to so that we can love and cherish them. WE are the blessed ones. Cherish and love her, they grow up so fast. WISH I was there getting me another one!!!! That would just make 6!!!!! ha,ha..........Our prayers are in China and here with you.......Our best friends from Lafayette adopted from right where you are..........Her name is Eden and she is 5 years old now. Adjusted GREAT and so will Kellum-Ann.........EDENS favorite thing when they got to the US was FRENCH FRIES................She was 9 mths. when they got her. Love to you all, Jackie Cottle

The pictures are great, this has been a great experience I know. Oh yes, the Cats got beat, but we are so proud of them. Can't wait to see you at home. She looks so happy as so do all of you. Love Jo
Vicki, Blair, Nathan, Kellum-ann,
It is amazing that we are sitting in Wedowee, AL and you are in China and we can feel like we are all together. We are enjoying seeing all the pictures and reading the blogs. She is beautiful and in the picture of her and Nathan they already favor each other. Can't wait to see her in person!!!! Life will never be the same again.

Hey Vicki, Blair, Nathan, and Kellum-Ann. Me and Catherine have been keeping up with the website and we are so excited and cannot wait to see her and hold her. I had tears of joy come to my eyes when I saw her with all of the family. I can't believe how excited I am about this great new life we have in our family; I have been talking about it to everyone. Kellum-Ann is the luckiest girl alive to be in this family. Get home safely and we can't wait to see you guys.
