I actually posted yesterday while Hannah was napping (early afternoon)....well when she woke up, it had cleared up some outside so we checked out the park.
Hannah chilled :)
We fed the birds
and played with bubbles
This next pic is a hoot......In China, Americans get a lot of stares.....now think of two Americans with a Chinese baby and you can only imagine. Yesterday while we were walking in the park this lively group of teenage girls just thought we were the coolest thing ;) and wanted to take a picture with Stephen and then me. Well we decided two could play at that game so WE took pics too.
And now to today (Thursday)....
We left the Hotel at 10:00 and went to a park here in the city. It was BEAUTIFUL!
There were lots of cool structures and beautiful landscaping .
This is Hannah with her friend Bennett (the other couple's little boy)
Hannah was born in the year of the rabbit (2011)
We fed the fish.....
......lots of fish
and then grabbed some take-out at a local restaurant
and headed back because it was nap time.
Tomorrow is a big day. We will be leaving Nanning and headed to Guangzhou. Please pray for safe travel and a happy baby on the plane. :)
She is so beautiful Julie!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for you to bring her home.

Love,
aunt Brenda

ReplyDeleteDuring my students reading passages, answering questions, and us going over them, I've caught up on the entire blog!! Shhhh, don't tell I wasn't stressing over CRCT review. Julie and Stephen, documenting this entire journey is such a blessing. Reading all of your posts and admiring all of the pictures..your beautiful family before and after the adoption, has reminded me of just how awesome our God is. I needed this. I've found myself so down and out lately...bad news around every corner, but what you're doing through God's guidance gives me HOPE. This beautiful, precious child is going to have such a wonderful life as she grows with your family. I've stayed choked up as I've read all of the updates. I have fallen in love with her, myself and I can not wait to meet her in person. I continue to pray for each of you and ask for continued blessings on your beautiful family!!
