Hello all.. I'd like to say a special thanks to all of you posting comments. Some of you are commenting every time and this is so very special. We love you all and are anxious for you to share in our joy of bringing these dear girls home to Oregon. Keep up the good work of reading our blog and commenting. It helps pass the time here and also makes us feel as if you are involved here with us. God has been so very good to all of us. Continue to pray that Zoe's heart will be prepared for such a BIG change.
Anna decided to go swimming with Jonathan and Amberlee. I was really surprised that she felt so comfortable, but thrilled. She didn't care for the swimsuit, but she managed. She also played ping pong with Amberlee. We were a little worried that she'd show all of us UP in ping pong... but she is about on our par and that was great. :) She certainly knows the rules and was able to keep up with us.
Also went shopping and to McDonalds for dinner. McDonalds was kinda different and the burgers have a little more spice... and squat pots in the bathrooms. :(
Anna loves to shop. If she sees something she likes... she says "ooooooooo" Amberlee said, "just follow her mom, she knows what she likes." Kinda scary. Gonna have to introduce her to garage saling right away or we'll be having to starve cause she'd like to buy it all.
Love to all... Enjoy the pictures. Pray for us. And COMMENT. :)

Anna and the kids look so happy. I am very thankful. Does Anna no about Zoe? If so is she excited. Well you all take care and we will see you soon.When we write and see your blog it seems to be going fast.
Well, better introduce the words "not this time or not right now, or I am sorry, no." I know, I am the worse spoiler!! But, in a couple of days you will have 2 on the buying sprees!! Hee, hee!! Boy! You guys make good impressions!! :) Have fun!!!
Yes, she does have beautiful hair!! They DO all looks so very happy and we praise our precious Lord for that. We ARE praying for you and can hardly wait for each posting. Hope the food is better in Guangzhou. Hope and pray the flight will not be hard on Anna. Soooo anxious to see Zoe too.
Much love to all, Dad & Mom Grandpa and Grandma

We are reading! :-) So thankful everything is going well. It's amazing to think how God has selected her to be a part of your family and what plans He may have in store for her! Give Anna our love.
Alex, Karen & family
To be completely honest, I was kinda hoping that she would be amazing at ping pind and show you all up:P haha. Glad you all are getting good bonding time in!! Looks fun!:)
Thinking of you guys on this exciting journey! Hope the rest of it goes perfectly. Praying for you! :-)
Well, I've been commanded to comment and we all know Stephanie gets what she wants. =) I hate to be put in the situation were I'm all ways saying,"No", to the kids when we're shopping. It makes me feel like a party-pooper BUT I'm can't really afford to be a ATM ether. One of the things I have found to be really helpful is an allowance, it puts the decision to buy back on them. Instead of, "No, you can't get that",I can say,"Do you have enough money to buy it? No, well you can all save up for one if you really want it". Giving Anna a small, daily allowance might help the give-mes and give her practice making these kinds of decisions. It would also allow her to get little gifts for people, like the little girls or for her new grandma with her own money and not all be on the receiving end of things. We are continually thinking and praying for you all as you continue to learn about each other. Rebekah
