Happy Mother's Day from China!

We spent the day hanging around the hotel recovering from over 26 hours of traveling. Ellie Ruth, of course, has not slowed down. Her excitement for tomorrow is definitely showing. She even has shared that her stomach is excited! lol We talked about her first day with her family and how she felt and how Yi He Yu is going to feel tomorrow.

Our "Gotcha" time tomorrow is 2pm so we are going to spend the morning wondering around sightseeing and just enjoying being in China.

This is the view from our hotel room.



I could not pass this up! Ellie Ruth LOVES Hello Kitty.


And of course we could not end the day without Ellie Ruth taking a dip in the pool.



We've had a very relaxing day, our first day in China. I pray tomorrow will go smooth with Allie Joyce and she finds the courage and peace to leave everything she knows and take a chance with us.

Until tomorrow.

Vicki

    It looks like you guys are staying at the Garden this time??? Cool. There is a yummy little bakery on the corner (pretty much below the dark rectangle seen in your first picture posted) where Nora enjoyed getting treats (and so did I )
    Hugs, Barb
