Wheels up in elven hours and counting!!

This is on the flight to Hong Kong! It was only thirty minutes.

Pray that Olivia has developed a pattern of sleeping on the plane for tommorow's flights!

Hong Kong is AMAZING

We are standing atop the Peak Tram Tower 389 meters above sea level. Hong Kong is a beautiful city. We road a train, a bus, a ferry, a tram and a double decker bus. We ate at Burger King and Krispy Kreme!!!!! WoO Hoo!!!!

Last few hours in Guangzhou!!



Just wanted to share a few pictures of our last hours in Guangzhou before we left for hong Kong!!! We found the red couch!!!

Last post!

Well, unless the internet is free and we have time on our hands in Hong Kong, then this will be our last post! Thank you so much for following and for your comments while we have been in Chinal. It's been a really stressful 2 weeks, but 2 weeks of our lives that have been the most memorable time also. We are so blessed and we are grateful that God allowed us this journey to get our beautiful little Olivia Denae-Li Langley. She is as perfect as we could expect and blessed beyond comprehension!

I will try to post some pics here and there, but if you are like me, you just look every now and then to see how big and beautiful the little girls get after they come home. It might be a few weeks, but there will be more pictures up soon!

Pray for us as we fly ALL DAY, well your Wednesday night and your Thursday. It's going to be really crazy, but pray for the weather and our safety. Thank you for your prayers so far, they have made us get through this we know! God is so Awesome an so GOOD!!

Boys, we are coming home in less than 72 hours now. We have missed you so much and can't wait to see your smiling faces and hold you in our arms. We know that you are going to adore Olivia and her you.. We can't wait for our family of 6 to be together for the first time!! For all the other friends and family, we have missed you also terribly and can't wait to see you and let to get our know our beautiful little girl! We can't wait to see all of your faces! Please come by if you can and see us this weekend, we may be tired, but want to see all you just the same. Again, pray and God bless all of you..WE LOVE YOU!!

YEAH WE ARE ABOUT TO BE HOME!!! We love you!!!

Anthony, Mysty and Olivia

More pics


See the little bracelet that I love to chew on?? We have to watch her with it, but a lady just gave it to us at a store we were in. It's got real jade on it..beautiful.

The riverside garden at Shamin Island


Eating again, just like always, but beautiful just like always too!!!

Shopping!!

We went and finished, well almost finished, the shopping. Got some great things. Here are some pictures from the day!

Freeway in downtown Guangzhou. Pretty cool huh??

Traffic and yes, we were moving. This is how close they drive. It's chaos, but Anthony has figured out that it's organized chaos!! Whatever!

Daddy pushing sleeping Olivia to go shopping! She'll sleep anywhere, but she's good when you are shopping. Daddy says that's good for mommy!!

Jordan, a CHRISTIAN Chinese store owner. Where most of your gifts came from!!

Mommy and her little girl...finally!!

Anthony officially a new dad!!!


Her fingers are so long, this is how she gets food in her mouth, by sliding it up to her mouth...sooo funny, but she gets it done!

Her in her cute little outfit that Heather bought. Lots of compliments on it!! :)

THE SPIT-UP!! On daddy's favorite shorts!
We went to eat lunch this afternoon and as usual, Olivia ate quite a bit. Well, Anthony went to get her out of her high chair and she spit-up on his favorite pair of shorts. It's the first time she has spit-up the whole time we've had her (officially a week by the way) and for some reason, I thought it was soo funny. Here are some pics to show you the afternoon eating!!


Daddy holding his nose because it stunk and laughing at the same time!!

Mommy laughing so hard, she is crying!! It was halarious!!

She LOVES the remote!

Okay, this was soo funny! She reached and reached for the remote and probably would've fell off the bed to get to the remote!



There was something loud on the tv and her and daddy looked. Funny huh?

Daddy telling her "NO" and kissing her.

She laughs when you kiss her by her ear

Happy bath time! YEAH!

These speak for themselves. She's splashing and loving her bath!!


Worn out baby girl


She fell asleep in the taxi on the way home. Guess she was comfortable!

I took the sling off my shoulder and laid her on the bed and she still didn't wake up...well about 10 min later she did!

See what her shirt says?? How true this is! We love her so much!

Shamin Island


Our first taxi ride, daddy just paid 16 yuan, a little over $2 to go about 5 miles.

In the middle of the Island. Really pretty.

Walking down the road, where alot of shops are. It's really westernized here!

5 star hotel lobby.





Last Sunday in China!! YEAH!!!

Well, we didn't have any chance to go to church today. We weren't offered the chance, so..kinda weird! Anyway, it's 8:43 pm and little Miss Olivia is still awake. She is laying in her crib, kicking her feet, talking and laughing! She hasn't been up past 7 since we have had her, don't know what's going on!!! Oh well, she'll pass out in a little while I guess. She goes to bed earlier than any of the babies almost and sleeps longer than them. Some are pretty close to her, but my goodness, what's going on tonight???

We woke up and went to eat breakfast. Then waited around and went to a Tea place today. We sampled Chinese tea, I only liked one, but I think Anthony liked two. I was able to get a beautiful Tea pot and 6 little cups. We also bought some tea for you, my boys, to try. I also got a pretty little cup and saucer to go with my collection. Very pretty.

Anthony wanted me to tell you that we rode in a taxi for the first time today...and both the drivers only spoke Chinese!!! We had people write where we needed to go so they didn't take us just anywhere! To get back to the hotel, we showed them our room key so they knew which hotel to go to. Yes daddy, we were fine. No worries. It was actually pretty easy. We have to tell you about the driving later....It's VERY scary!

Then we came back and me and Olivia took a long nap while daddy did Greek!! Poor daddy. He's doing well though. When we woke up, we got ready and went to Shamin Island (however you spell it). This is where alot of your presents will come from. We got Olivia a night outfit, and it's beautiful. Anthony wanted to get her a red one, but we let her pick and she picked one that is kinda white and pink, poor daddy. We found a Christian man that has his own shop and bought some things there. He did her American and Chinese name and the meanings of the letters. It's really cool. We are going to put it in a frame with red paper behind it!! Really excited about that!

We came back we went to McD's and now we are here. Oh....Olivia took a bath tonight and DIDN"T CRY! She actually played until I got her out! YEAH it took a week but it happened. I have video, but Anthony says it's child porno, so you will have to see it when we get back. Well, the next page will have pics on it.

We love you all and miss you all alot. Boys, we love you and your comments are so sweet. Keep sending them, we need to hear from you that way. We are so glad that we get to talk to you everyday and don't know what we would have done if we couldn't have. We love you and for us, only 4 more nights!! CAN"T WAIT TO HOLD YOU IN MY ARMS, I know after you hold Olivia right??? HAHAHA
