Shopping

Today we were able to take in a little shopping in spite of more rain here on the Island. Quinn did not want to spend the few yuan that he had ... he kept wanting me to buy everything for him. How quickly he learned that! While we were shopping a merchant gave me a fake 50. I had no idea until I went to the next merchant! Not that much American money but still the point. I guess that will be a momento.
Tonight we went to dinner with group after being separated all week. What cute babies! A trip down memory lane with the girls. Quinn is so small that I can hold him on my hip so brings back memories :) All was good except having no sleept caught up with them! Trying to get them to bed for a good sleep!

Glad to hear from you Shawna and glad to hear you were able to get out a bit. I continue to pray for your safe trip home and can't wait to hear that you have landed safely stateside. A little piece of my heart will always be in China and hope that you hold onto the good feelings it brings your way until you can be home with your family. This Sept2000 Godmother - sends warm thoughts your way for a great nights sleep.

Yeaaaaaahhhhh! So glad you are all smiling. Maybe all this lack of sleep will keep the kids very quiet on the long flight home. Can't wait til Quinn meets the rest of his family. Hope they are holding up ok too.

Hugs,
