Today was a free day so we headed back to Shaiman Island for more shopping. I was able to get Ashley some of these squeaky shoes (like the ones in the states for 40$) for 4.00 a pair! I also got Annalyse a few pair. $4.00 is cheaper than Payless! She really loves being outside and riding in the stroller. Everyday she opens up some more to us and finally gives kisses! We are having fun in GZ but are really ready to head home. Only 3 more sleeps!! I couldn't pic my favorites so get ready for picture overload!

So beautiful! I bet you are so excited to get home so she can meet the rest of your family! I remember stepping off the plane with Joe, he was only 2 months old. My mom started screaming the second she saw us coming through Heathrow arrivals! So funny!
Hope you have a great last few days.
God Bless

She is so cute! I love the one of her and Jay! So precious! I can't wait for you to get home! Have fun during the last few days and keep sending all of the pictures! It is great to see her looking happier and seeing her personality come out
more each day!
Avery,
I loved the picture of you! You get more beautiful every day. Can't wait for you to get home so I can get a hug!! You have been so good for Ashley! I know she loves her big sister already! Ally and Lysie have missed you too and can't wait for you to come home!
See you soon! I love you!

Home soon, Thank God! She is so cute, and looks so happy! I love the "Dad rocks" shirt.
I know your family is so anxious for you to be home, so they can meet the new addition! When my Mom first saw Lia, she just cried and cried, saying how beautiful she was. It was a special moment for me.
Seriously. She is adorable!
Too cute!!!
Thanks again for the dinner suggestion! YUM...
sorry about the tantrums from you know who. She hit the bed like a brick... well after 5 minutes or so of tears! ;-)
Good times.

Avery, That is the best picture of you! I love it! I know you'll always remember this trip. Of course, Ashley is too young to remember, but how cool that she can sit with her big sister and hear all about China! That is an awesome thing. I am proud of you, and a little jealous, too. Keep making memories!
I'm not totally sure how I ended up finding your blog but I did. I have enjoyed reading it. It was like I was right back there. I was able to travel with dear friends in 2005 for their adoption. Zoe is also a 'spicy' girl from Hunan. We were also in Changsha and traveled to GZ and enjoyed the stay in the White Swan. The girls are a wonderful blessing from God. May He bless your growing family.

p.s. buy LOTS and LOTS of shoes in larger sizes because she'll quickly out grow them.
The pictures are just precious! When you get home, we need to compare "Hao" characters. Mary Joyce's Chinese name was Min Hao, which means she was also "Hao Hao." She was younger (only 9 months), though, so took to her English name very quickly.

You are right--she is way too cute! So fun!
The picture with Jay is priceless. Looks like he's head over heels for yet another little girl! Hope these next few days pass quickly. We will be saying extra prayers for Ally.

so cute!!! it's been such a joy to keep up with you all through the blog and pictures. I've cried a few tears just looking at the pictures and listening to your heart. We miss you and can't wait to see you all soon!
Emily & Jay, we are just so happy for your family! WOW! Isn't God just so faithful when we trust in Him?!! What a testimony you can share with those who struggle with trusting!!!! Ashley is such a doll and gotta love that shirt! Can't wait to buy our Lily some squeaky shoes, too!!!! Still praying for y'all.........
