Free day!


Today was our first full day with no agenda, no guide, no driver.  Yikes!  We were really looking forward to having no plans and going at our own pace all day.  We were able for the first time to spend as much time as we wanted Skyping and catching up with family which was so wonderful.  We miss the kids SO much!
Today was a ridiculously smoggy day so all plans for outdoor adventures were off.  Instead, we went for another swim (at Feng Lin's request:)  We walked around a fancy mall across the street and got Feng Lin an ice cream cone.  She LOVED it!  That's my girl!  She has a serious sweet tooth.
She is such a trooper.  She has had no one at all today who could speak Mandarin and she handled it remarkably well.  We are so in love with this little girl.  Our daughter!  Oh my gosh, she's our daughter!
Love to all!

  2. We are also amazed by YOUR DAUGHTER as she read her books, dressed herself and created multiple beaded necklaces! This little girl is ready to take on the world... one ice cream cone at a time! We are impressed by her resilience - and yours and Chris' as well. You will be home soon, surrounded by your four children. Wow.
