Last night in Changsha, Hunan, China

Well, we were told our plans for tomorrow. We have to have our luggage outside the door at 7am (6pm your time tonight) and we leave for the airport at 8. Our plane leaves as 10 (so say a little prayer around 9, bedtime, for us). Olivia has started running a fever, not too high, but almost 100. Her nose is really runny and she is kinda fussy, but today was the best day so far. She is really funny. She isn't the only one sick, there is one little one that had a 103.2 fever today. They are all having runny noses and pulling or rubbing their ears, so it could be ear infection or just teething, who knows???? We have a Dr. appointment Saturday (Chinese people work 7 days a week!! Yikes!!) so we will find out then. I do have antibiotics so if she does have an ear infection, then I can give it to her and have her well by the time we get home. I also have ear meds, so I will get her fixed up for all you before you get your grubby hands on her!! HAHAHA

We don't know how the internet is going to be in Guangzhou, but I am counting on it being just fine, fine enough to be able to post really soon. It might take a little while, but I am hoping to have pics of her first plane ride up before you get up Friday morning. It might be that afternoon, but we will try to get back as soon as possible.

Here are a few pics to leave you with though. Again, your prayers are being felt TREMENDOUSLY!!! Thank you!!!
Thank you God for all the blessings that have been given to us!! If ever we wondered if You were there, this whole process has taught us that You are always there!! Keep us safe through all the next 5 flights to get us to our family and friends safely. Again, YOU are Almighty and we will continue to praise YOU for YOU are worthy!!!

We love you all and can't wait for this week to go by fast!! Bye until tomorrow!!




This "picture" was embroired by hand by a man. It took him 15 months! The WHOLE thing is embroired, even the background (except for the flash light in the middle, sorry, Anthony didn't think it would turn out without the flash!)It is gorgeous. Just thought you might like to see how beautiful!!

This one Anthony says is for you Russ. She's getting her first ear full of Christian music and guess who it is??? Yep, Chris Tomlin. She really liked it! It might not look like it but she kept the earphones on for a while!!

This one is just cute. Recognize the outfit Joy?? It's still pretty big, it's 9 months, but I thought she could wear it for a little while!! They are supposed to be capri's and it's pants right now!! :)She looked "American" Anthony said...really cute though!!
