Last Day

First, happy day to Olivia! It's hard to believe that 7 months ago today, she was born. We are looking forward to seeing her with a toothy grin. Her first two teeth came in during our absence.

We are overjoyed!!! Our day tomorrow will begin at 5 AM China time (5 PM Eastern time). Add 28-30 hours to that and we will be home!  We cannot wait to hold our girls and have them meet their brother.

Tian continues to entertain us.  He's getting sweeter and more relaxed day by day.  We spent some last moments today wrestling, splashing in mud puddles, racing around the hotel, shopping, eating and eating some more.

Each day we have allowed Tian to choose his shirt. Today was a moment of truth when Tian told our guide that he liked his orange golf shirt.  He said that he liked it because it had "two buttons and that made it really nice". Wow!

Do not get me wrong...he is appreciative, and yet the boy is an absolute menace inside of the stores.  I'll just warn you ahead of time that if you ever see me in Wal-mart or Target, there will probably be a whirlwind circling around us. I'm sure to be that Mom that people point at and wonder why she can't control her children.  There are just some things that I cannot worry about right now. 

My next post will be a picture of our family reunion. Little girls, Mama and Daddy are coming. I really hope that no one stands in our path; Mama may be small, but she is bound to become the most powerful offensive lineman you have ever seen.  This girl is coming home to be with all of her babies!

  2. See... when you were walking around with the 5 and under class at VBS, God was preparing you for those trips to Wal-mart and Target!!!

    We're only a phone call away... "Uh, Tristan and Braylin, please meet me at Wal-mart. I need to go shopping!!" They'll be right there in a heartbeat!!

    Praying for you all, Maria
