Slow Day

Today was our last full day in Jiangxi province. Tomorrow (Saturday) we fly to Guangzhou. Today we went to a museum which Abraham loved. They had a dinosaur section of replicated dinosaurs, no bones. He loved it though. Eden took her morning nap wrapped up in the sling with Mommy. After lunch we came back to the hotel and all took naps. Then this evening we were invited down to the lobby since one of the babies was having her 1st birthday. It was one of the families from Spain. They speak no English and our Spanish is not that good. Rob ended up talking to one of the contacts in Chinese who then translated into Spanish. We sang Happy Birthday in Spanish, then English then Chinese. We got the whole group together and took a picture with our newly adopted kids. It was fun! One of the families here adopting is from NY (Westchester county) - anyway they have a daughter 7 who they adopted from China as well and now they just adopted a 12 month old. Abraham has had so much fun with her. Tonight they were playing basketball in the hotel lobby. I think he was trying to show off his skills because he was dribbling all around and she could not catch him. He likes that kind of stuff!

We are looking forward to getting to the next step of our trip which means one step closer to getting home. Pray all goes well in Guangzhou and we are able to get Eden's visa without any problems. One family who's daughter is from Guangzhou has been emailing us about what the process will be while we are there. They said there is going to be another $500 fee that we did not know about. We feel like we are being hammered to pay out for things left and right that we were not aware of. This has been very frustrating. We trust the Lord knew all this ahead of time and again lean on Him to meet our needs. Eden is worth every penny!
