Answered Prayers!

Ashley has been in a great playful mood after a good night's sleep. She even woke up about 4am and I just tucked her into our bed and she snuggled on mama, fell asleep and didn't get up until 6. She giggled and smiled through her bath and was laughing out loud at Avery!

Also.....our flight has been changed and we leave Hunan on Saturday, not Sunday!! We're having much better days but are ready for GZ so this was a HUGE lift to our spirits today. It's not that we do not like it here, but it's very lonely and something you can just not imagine unless you have been through something like this. God has been so good to us and we are seeing little glimpses of Him everyday. So Chloe, Merrilee and Bekah....Avery will see you Saturday!

We visited an amazing Embroidery Museum today and it was so cool....pics to come later...it's lunch time and baby is hungry!!

Hey guy's glad to hear things are going well. Mom say's its very lonely for you guys, but you are not alone you seem to have a very captive audience including myself praying for you and anticipating every post. I check my phone about 10 times a day and am showing off Ashley, Avery, Jay and Emily at least another 10 times a day. Of course none of these people know you but everyone is in awe of how cute Ashley and Avery are, and how truly giving You and Jay are. I am so glad you guys get to meet up with your friends on Sat. Avery keep being your silly self Ashley loves you!! Love you guy's can't wait for more post!!
P.S. Jay im sure you know by now Ole Miss beat the Hogs in roundball!!! go figure we beat Oklahoma(4) and Texas(7) then lose to State and Ole Miss back to back. Just another day as a Hog fan.... ;)

How Cool that the Lord has orchestrated an earlier departure!

How do the people there respond to you Americans adopting a baby from their country? Do they care? are they happy? or resentful? Especially the row of ladies who were embroidering those prints. Could that have been Ashley's future?

Keep the videos and pictures a coming! we love them!!! Before I go to bed or get out of the bed, I check the blog on my blackberry and it's so exciting when I find a new blog :)

Praying without ceasing for your safety, bonding time, and for the days to fly by for you so that you can get home!

Love Ya'll
