We are so thankful for how smoothly things are going, and know it is a direct answer to the many prayers. We are here with 6 other families. If it comes to mind, add Stella (18 months) and Evie J (3 years) to your prayers. Both have been better cared for in more of a foster home situation and are struggling with the sadness of leaving.
Wednesday we packed Craig into the Ergo and went to the market. It was two floors of vendor after vendor. Our guide told us we needed to barter by offering half. For the record, if our survival relied and us being good at bartering, we'd go hungry. It was not our forte!
Craig continues to be a delight! I've attached a picture where you can see his mischievous side. He thinks it is quite funny when he pulls off his socks.
He has also been enjoying his stacking blocks. Wednesday afternoon Leya kept rescuing the errant blocks that "accidentally" ended up under the bed & dresser. Then she caught him purposely stashing them in both places. When she said "you are doing that on purpose," he looked up at her with a BIG smile! What a kick!
Today we pack to fly down to Guangzhou tomorrow (Friday). Pray for Craig's ears on the plane as he sounds a little stuffy to me. We'll write again after we get there.
Facebook & Google Blogs are blocked in China, so we really appreciate Abbie & Jason. It has made it wonderful to be able to keep you all in the loop. We feel blessed to have so many people involved in bringing Craig home. jo
