Good morning folks. It is Tuesday afternoon and we are getting very excited about coming home. To night we are taking a Diner cruise with our group on the river. Dennis, our guide here says it is very beautiful at night. We will see many ancient buildings and lanterns along the river for the Autumn Moon Festival. We took a walk this morning around the hotel and we did not realize how beautiful it was. Took some pictures of our girl in her new little outfit that mom bought yesterday for 40 yuan or 6 US dollars. It is hand embroidered. She also had some fun this afternoon. Dad had a massage today and it was great. Ready for the trip home.

2 of our suitcases are packed. We just have to get the rest of our stuff in one other suitcase. We had to buy an extra one - $10 so we are just hoping that it stays together for the plane ride home. We have run out of American formula and she is not taking any Chinese formula so pray for us while we experiment. I think we will be OK if we can get to LAX. She loves french fries and mashed potatoes.

Tomorrow we will finish packing, then we have to go to and get Abby's Visa - Then, we are off to the airport. See you guys SOON!


Love, Mark, Debbie, and Abby!!!!!

Thank you God for this blessing. My heart is singing at the sound of Abby's laughter. Nothing has touched me like this is quite a long while. Every day our rosebud opens more. You are having one of life's most joyful experiences and thank you for sharing it with us. God has "delivered" you a most blessed child and you have brought her into our lives. I just want to say thank you, thank you, thank you.

On a lighter side, every time we play the video and Pierre sees it has our rapt attention, he goes and gets one of his squeaky toys to regain our attention.
