YEA!!!! This time tomorrow morning we will be on a plane. We have a very long day tomorrow. 4 hours to Beijing, a 4 hour layover in Beijing and then a 12 hour flight home across the ocean. Keep us in your prayers not only for our safe return but for our sanity. haha The bucket in one of the other posts had a bunch of snakes in it. It was from one of the local restaurants. Yuck!!! We chose not to eat there. Yesterday was a great day. They typhoon that hit two days ago and caused so much flooding was gone and the sun was out. But it wasn't that hot. So we went to the zoo in the morning and then finished up our afternoon with our red couch photos of the kids and some more shopping. Have you ever tried to get two hyper kids to both sit still and smile for a photo. (They had ice cream prior to photos) We gave up after about 150 shots. We video taped the whole thing. It will keep us laughing in our older years. We seem to attract quite the crowd everywhere we go but especially during photo time. The locals here are convinced Annabel and Jacob are twins. It is very funny. I don't think it is even possible to adopt boy/girl twins from China, but every one thinks they are. haha It has been fun. Mark said he is just going to start saying "yes" when they ask if they are twins. And then when they ask how old they are he will say "2 and 4" just to add a twist to it. Well enjoy the photos. We are off for our last day of sightseeing with our guide today. We try to do things as early as possible before it gets too hot. God bless!!

Hi kids, you will be home on Saturday. ya ya ya..
I enjoyed Amber and Joey with the monkeys...Are they part monkey.ha ha ....Jacob and Annabel are going to be a hand full. I know you will enjoy.
Enjoy your trip home. Stay safe.
I love you, Mom
Oh what a beautiful end to a beautiful trip! You are SO blessed! All four kids look so happy and content ... the only thing that will likely make it better is to be home right? We look forward to meeting Jacob.
Blessings, Lisa
We had a couple in our second group adopting boy/girl twins, so it's possible. Hang in there, because I totally know what you are going through, and can tell you it WILL get better. I just can't promise you it will be quick, as it is a process. Annabel and Kaia were the princess's of their household with 4 people doting on them, until this new person came along! My girls have so much fun together that it's hard to remember those early days (I think I try to block them out). Kaia's favorite words were "My Mommy!
Can't wait to meet Jacob:)
