Coming Home Soon!!

We are leaving for Hong Kong in a couple of hours. We will then fly out of Hong Kong tomorrow morning. We are SOOOO excited about coming home to see all of our wonderful family!! Kids...you are going to LOVE Miss Sassy Pants Karleigh Mei! She is going to fit in just beautifully with us!

It has been a fabulous trip that we will never forget. We cannot wait to watch our beautiful little girl blossom and grow. What a blessing she is to us already! Once I get home, I'll update a bit more about our trip. There were some fun and interesting things that we saw here and I don't want to forget. One thing I'll say now is that this is an AMAZING time of year to come to China. EVERYWHERE you go is Christmas music playing, "Merry Christmas" signs, and Christmas trees decked out. There is nothing like walking through a store, holding your precious little one from China and singing along with the music about our Savior being born!! I not just the "Jingle Bells" variety, but " Oh Come Let Us Adore Him", "Silent Night", and others telling the true story of the birth of Jesus!! I have not once seen "Happy Holidays". It's all "Merry Christmas". I was in Starbucks this morning...and my blog song came on!! The one by Sarah McLachlan. I know it was nothing to most people...but I saw it as a small gift from God. He is so good, so gracious, so kind, so merciful, so wonderful, so compeltely AWESOME!! sigh.

Okay...so I've been so very lame at taking pictures. So very lame. No excuses. I have these two from yesterday. The first one is of me with my two sweet bloggin' buddies. Laurie, Amy, and I all got to know each other while waiting for our RA and our TA. We all got on Yahoo and would chat several times a day! What a gift from the Lord they have been to me!! I love you girls!!! And what beautiful blessings you are going home with too!!


This next picture was taken at a Folk Art Museum. I love how Karleigh Mei squints her one "bad" eye. So cute! I could just eat her up!! Soon we will be getting her some little glasses to protect her "good" eye. Think I will look into the "trasitions" type...the ones that turn into sunglasses in the sun. Yep..that would be good for my little darling girl.



Next post I write we should be HOME!!! Awwww...if I could only tap my heels. sigh.
