We came back to the hotel after that, where we thought for sure that Mary would take a nice long nap. She, however, decided to come out of her shell and show us her personality, which was just fine by us. We finally got to hear that belly laugh, you know, the one that will make even the grumpiest old man smile! It was priceless!!! So, of course we did it over and over!!
Later in the evening we went across the river and watched a water fountain show that the city puts on every night, unless it is raining. It was beautiful! The city is gorgeous at night, all lit up.We are now ready go to hit the sack; exhausted!!!
Tomorrow we fly out to Guangzhou for the last leg of the trip! One more week and we'll be home! Can't come soon enough!!!

Oh my goodness! That second picture of Mary in the sling around Scott needs to be framed. You look miserably hot in the picture with the wash rag on her head- poor thing!! I like the musical addition to the blog; made me a little misty while I looked at the pictures. We've all (even the boys) been praying that her cough is getting better and for your safe return home!

When I was showing the girls the pictures today, Elaina's mouth DROPPED when she saw Mary playing with what used to be their ball. She exclaimed, "Look, Mommy! Mary's playing with Ella's ball! Her ball is in CHINA!" It was cute. She was in disbelief. When I told her that the outfit she was wearing in the same picture was her outfit when she was a baby, she grinned from ear to ear. The park is gorgeous, and the fountain show looks like it was beautiful! What neat things you are experiencing! We miss you!
Jill- I absolutely love reading your blog and seeing pictures of your new little Mary. She is precious and I don't think anyone could wipe the smiles off your faces. When you are all settled, I would love to come down and see her and love to hear every little detail of your experience. We continue to pray for you and Scott and ofcourse your kiddos here.-Leah
She is showing her personality more and more, how exciting that you are getting to know her!!! The pictures are all so wonderful, thanks for sharing them!! We are praying for her cough to go away and a quick save return home. I can't imagine how much you must be missing the kids!
Love you!

As I scroll back to the beginning of this blog and read the entries and look at the pictures, it is quite evident of the growing smiles on your faces and the growing happiness in your voice as you write! I can't look at this blog (and listen to Chris' song) without crying tears of joy and thankfulness for what God is doing! Praising Him for His sovereignty, power, goodness, love, and faithfulness. How He can knit a family together over years and miles . . . only He can do that! Loving following along on your journey and continuing to pray you all home.
Love you guys,
Jennifer
I can't wait to hear that belly laugh. I love those. I bet the fountain show was awesome. Love, love, love all the pictures as usual. Praying for safety. Julie
