Trying Snakes and Flying Home!

Well, we have just spent the last full day here in Guangzhou. We ended it with a meal at a Cantonese restaurant. I am including a picture of Kendal and Jordan eating water snake. All three of us gave it a try and it was actually the best thing on the table! On the way into the restaurant, you could actually pick out your meal, while it is still alive!!! That's right. So, we walked by 3 cages of snakes on the way in and I thought I would chicken out of trying it. But, we all did it.....Anna, meanwhile, enjoyed the rice.
We are super excited that tomorrow at 5pm we are getting on a bus for Hong Kong and then flying out early Thursday morning. We are ready to get Anna home, get her checked out by our pediatrician and give lots of hugs and kisses to Lydia, whom we have dearly missed!!!

Pray for our travel and that we won't have delays. We have known that so many have prayed for us along this journey here; thank you so much. Well, gonna cut this short because the computer battery is running low.

Blessings,
Jennifer D

    Here's Lydia, yjn o khghjmjhjhjhyuyy h fgtghdyi ij. Well bath time is over for today-Thank you Lord. Lydia just doesn't like bath time. I know she is ready for her Mommy, Daddy, Jordan, and Anna to get home and give her all those hugs and kisses. She has been sooooo good though and we are going to miss her so much. She loves the pics especially the one of her Dad and Jordan eating snake. She ran out to the deck to tell Granddaddy-SNAKE, SNAKE. I can not believe my Jordan eat snake. Unbelieveable! The pic of Jordan and Anna is precious. I know you are traveling now and may not even get this but Lydia loves doing it. We are praying for a safe trip for you and we'll see you at the airport!!!! Love to all.

  4. I am so amazed at how God works. I heard about your journey through Kendal's cousin Wendee at the dentist office. She shared with me because she knew my husband and I had just adopted from Russia. She just gave me your blog...and now I realize that I know Kendal from highschool!! What a small world. I just wanted to tell you I'm so thrilled for you guys...and what an incredible journey!!! You can read about ours at gemsforglory.com/AJCQuest

    We'll pray for safe travels for you guys!!
