Heading Home!!!

The time is here!!! We are getting up and heading to the airport @ 6:00am tomorrow. We have met some wonderful people and Emme has a friend from her orphanage. We hope to travel to NY to see Sally and Findley soon. We will definitely keep in touch.



What an adventure this has been. We are so excited to come home and be with our family and friends. See you all soon!



Hugs to all!!

















Tita!!

Wonderful Tita and her husband Taylor, friends of Kelli, called me the other day and took me out to a wonderful lunch. It was the BEST food I have tasted here in Guangzhou. Thank you sooooo much, Tita and Taylor!! I had a great time. She brought Emme a great lady bug toy, which has been her favorite toy to play with. It was Emme's nap time, so Tita didn't get to see the best side of her. She did get to hold her and Emme gave her a smile for the toy.

Sorry aunties, Tita got to hold Emme first!
The food was fabulous. We had salad, pork wanton things, eggplant, steak, soup, dumplings, and steamed buns. Wow....sooo much wonderful food.
We had a little adventure after lunch. This man was selling fresh oranges. Tita said they looked great and I should bring some back for my parents. I didn't know what he was saying, but all of a sudden, he became very angry and threw the oranges back into his cart....shooing us away. Tita said he was trying to give us less oranges for the amount of money he wanted, trying to take advantage of the American. She grabbed me and walked away. He continued to yell at us and his face turned very red. I teased Tita and said she got into a fight with the orange man. She said this was a first for her.


Thanks again, Tita and Taylor, for the wonderful lunch. You are such a great couple and I hope to see you again. Come to Portland! You are always welcome in my home.
