Trip to China

Friday, August 24, 2007 PASSPORTS, PAPERWORK AND PACKING, OH MY!! Today was largely a business and quiet day for all in our group. Many of the babies made breakthroughs and parents are smiling proudly. On the other hand, we’re all a little weary of being confined to the hotel room here in Hefei. The White Swan in Guangzhou where we are going next has a children’s play room where all babies can congregate and cut loose. We have truly enjoyed our time here and it will be sad to leave our daughters home province behind. The babies all received their passports today and can travel now. We filled out all of the paper work that will be needed in Guangzhou, what a chore that was! As in all things though, we were blessed with some further information about our Chun Xue during her first days. However, we have chosen to keep it as information she can share if and when ready. Today during breakfast and lunch our little one has shown her mischievous side mentioned in her referral. While I was distracted and talking with one of the other Moms; she grabbed my juice glass and flung it all over the seat, floor and our feet. What a stinker she is! Later on, during lunch she began waving. But not to Mommy or Daddy but to a young male waiter. He was quite smitten with those almond eyes and that sweet smile. Again, we’ve got so much to learn, but oh so sweet. This afternoon our guide Cindy was nice enough to venture out to the jewelry store with me and assist in choosing a gift for our sweetie from her home province, Anhui. I chose a beautiful piece of jade jewelry. It is a necklace on a red cord in the shape of a dog. She was born in the Year of the Dog, so we thought this would be a most appropriate gift for her when she is older and can appreciate it. Since we have not taken any photos today, we decided to share a glimpse of life here in Hefei as we sadly depart.   PRAYERS: For safe travel to Guangzhou, for paperwork to be accepted without delays, for the babies as they receive their medical exams. For our sons and Dad’s safety while we are away. That all parents remain healthy and well rested. PRAISES: Debbie and Elizabeth have bounced back and are full steam ahead. Ju-lie is well, her cough is slowly disappearing. No more rattle in the chest. AMEN. For a successful internet connection that is our lifeline to home and to create this journal. For the blessing of the Fron family who has so lovingly cared for our son , Mitchell in our absence. Thank you just isn’t enough. All thanks and praise to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ for these precious days.
