Last night I found a "fortune" that I had saved months ago in one of my jacket pockets. It read "Big journeys begin with a single step." On May 19, 2008, our little Theadora Fu Xiao took a single tiny step toward her new family . . . her big journey had begun!
Would you look at her now?!
Oh how far you have come little bird . . . flying ever so bravely into your new life. We are so proud of you Teddi Winder, we are so very blessed to call you ours.
Below is a short little video of that breathless moment when I met my girl . . . and her very brave first step on her big journey HOME!

Oh Tina...that is the sweetest video...it was so precious how she so gently held her little arms out for the doll when you handed it to her...so nervous and apprehensive...she sure had her eye on Brogie, her soon to be best friend and partner in crime. Thanks for sharing!
The picture of Teddi in the swing with the piggy tails is OVER THE TOP CUTE!! She is a beautiful little girl!
Love you my friend,
Kim
Tina,
I too love the pig tails! Where do you get your hair bows? I love them but not sure I could get Miss
Claire to leave them in her hair! The video was so sweet. You could see how timid she was and how very brave she was being. Boy, has she blossomed since then.
Love,
Robin
OH, the pigtails are TOO CUTE!!! Is Flit enjoying her swing? I remember the boys had one of those and loved it. What a brave and wonderful girl you have!
Love,
Melissa
Oh, Tina. It's almost impossible to watch that video without tears. I could only imagine the fear that she had as she was nudged towards you. God amazingly prepared her little heart for your family and it shows.
Hugs,
Ohilda
Oh Tina, the video made me very teary-eyed. Teddi is so sweet and I can definitely see your joy at finally seeing your girl. Thank you for sharing this.
Blessings,

Tina you have such a way of words...your comment on our site about "fall" and "Candie Leaf"...you are a jewel!
Your Teddi just shines. She must follow your example!
Wow-- what a cutie! Congratulations on your 4 month anniversary! We just celebrated 6 months with our sweetie.
Blessings,

So sweet! I loved the video and seeing how far she has come in just a few short months. It is trully amazing what living in a loving nest will do fro a little bird. You are all soooo blessed!
