Our Journey to Gracie

We give thanks to our Lord for such a blessing as this. We are again feeling so blessed to be chosen to be the parents to another wonderful angel from China. Gracie is our third gift from China. We brought Hannah home in 2004 and Caleb home in 2005. It is beyond our wildest dreams to again be taking that journey to China to add another blessing to our family.

July 20th 2007 Off to Guangzhou

Well we made it to Guangzhou. It is 10:43 pm and we are just getting settled into our room. We started the day this morning with breakfast as usual and then we took a walk down the streets of Changsha. We went down an alley way and saw many small shops. It was the heart of china. One place had big buckets of snakes, turtles, eels and other live looking things for sale. It was really disgusting. We walked through a department store and had a popsicle and headed back. it was already very hot. We went back to our room and hung out for a while. The girls watched videos and played with playdoh. Gracie really liked that. We went to the play room and played with Wen Xian for a while. We werent leaving until 5:30pm so we had all day to kill. We finally went to the airport and said our goodbyes to Susan our guide. She has been great to us. We exchanged emails and promised to stay in contact. Gracie did really well on her first flight. She just didn't like leaving the seatbelt on. It was only an hour flight so it wasn't bad. It is really good to be in Guangzhou. Everything looks so welcoming and familiar. The girls are sleeping and we will be joining them soon. We have to go for the Medical exam at 8:30am. I'll try to post pictures again. The last 2 days I couldnt. The Lord has been so good to us. I just look at my precious children and feel so blessed and unworthy to be chosen to be their mother. God is good.
