One more day in China!
Reluctantly, but successfully, using a stroller. Shopping in the White Swan Hotel Ella Grace with Kayla Vannoy who will be going home to St. Louis Playing in the room with playdoh. Well, we finished our Christmas shopping today! We are ready to get home. Tomorrow afternoon at 3pm we go for a 20 second oath …
In the Countdown!
All the other families left this morning at 6am for home, now it is just us and the Vannoy’s who were added in the travel group late left here. Our guides will stay with us until we get on the plane headed for Hong Kong to connect with Chicago in less than 48 hours. Our …
Success!!!
Ella Grace had her first time away from Momma today. It was a rough first 30 minutes. All the Chinese people looked at me like I was torturing her. After a rough start, and aided by some M & Ms, she finally calmed down. By the time Robin came back she was being held by …
Still Here!
She did great at the medical clinic. I was sure it was going to be traumatic for her, but as long as she saw I wasn’t going anywhere, she let them look in her ears and mouth with no trouble. The breakfast buffet at our hotel-she really likes to feed herself.

Around Guangzhou
We are in our second day at Guangzhou. Ella Grace continues to do great. She is so easy. She sleeps well, she loves to take a bath, she’s potty trained, and she eats whatever we put in front of her. After being with 30 other families who all have 9 to 10 month old babies, …
Guangzhou
Chinese friends we met at the airport on the way to Guangzhou. The little boy seemed to be better at English than all of them, but they all wanted to try out a few words. They were looking at pictures of our family and some of then were captioned in CHinese, so they were fun …
In Guangzhou-August…whatever it is!
I think it’s Saturday. We just flew in from Haikou and boy are my arms tired. Seriously, Ella Grace won’t let me put her down! She will walk (thank you, Lord!) but she’s too slow for airport walking! And if you don’t hustle around here oiout on the street-well, you just better hustle. We are …
The Savior We Serve
We can do good works and have a good heart and good intentions and it is all not enough. There is only one simple thing that ensures an eternity with The Creator in perfect peace and that is to be covered in the forgiveness that comes through Jesus. By faith, accept Grace that is offered …
