Today we shopped and just had fun with the other families. Tomorrow morning, our guides take over our paperwork for Joshua's visa - please pray all goes smoothly and without any issues! Robin shopped up a storm ... OK, I did too!:) But I do believe she out shopped me ... well, I guess it was a close tie.:)Joshua is doing great and is singing and talking a lot, but I can't usually understand him. We have our way to communicate of course. I know he understands what I am saying (yes, I got stopped 3 more times today from Chinese people stating how smart he would be and how handsome he is), but at this time he just uses gestures to talk to me. At one time today, he put his arms around my neck and starting playing with my hair in the back - just like my sweet Jessica! It was a great moment as he also flashed me a HUGE smile! He is sleeping well and doesn't wake up screaming like he used to. Doesn't wake up happy ... but neither do I.:)
Kirk, Lilly and Jess - only a couple more days and we'll be HOME!!!!! I love you!
