Happy Birthday Baby!!!!!!

Praise God from who all blessings flow….
Our girl is one year old today!!! We are so happy that she is feeling good. We went back to the hospital this morning and the doctor said she looks well. We have to continue her on some medicine for 2 months. She has already received her first birthday present, her Aunt Sherry, our guide, brought her a little silver cross necklace last night. I think she was just as worried about Mia in the hospital as we were Zane don’t worry we haven’t had cake yet. We will save the “smashing in the face” until we get home.
The traffic here is just unbelievable. If you want to GO, you just GO, doesn’t matter which direction. Driving here is definitely not for the faint of heart. We decided today that if Paw Paw came here he would have to be buried here, because it wouldn’t take long before he would just kill over. On the other hand, Grandpa would love it. It could also be categorized as an extreme sport. Especially if you’re trying to ride a bicycle.
This afternoon we get Mia’s passport and tomorrow morning we leave Nanchang for Guangzhou. It’s about a 50 minute plane ride.


I added some pictures from our trip to the Great wall on Sunday in an album.

We really have lots of down time so I would love to hear from all of you!!! OK I especially have lots of down time, The official photographer, web-site updater and clothes washer would like to have contact with the USA...... David on the other hand is very busy feeding, diapering, rocking and just in general holding..... He is absolutley loving it. I keep finding different ways to console myself. My thought for a while was that it was only because of the fever. But now that it's gone things have only changed slightly.As you can see in the picture I was allowed to sit and play with Mia when David wasn't around. (It's really not that bad, we've had a good time joking and watching how all the babies have really bonded to one or the other parent) There have been about 4 out of 13 babies that prefer the father more. Our guide says it's possible she had a stronger bond with her foster father.
ABS ladies, hope you had a nice time last night at ladies night out…..I’m sure you missed me! =)
