March 31, 2007 "A smiling golden buddha/ In a golden temple stands / With a tiny golden baby / In his gentle golden hands." -- From Chinese Mother Goose Rhymes I must admit, I have begun to lose track of the days. Not much to report today, except that I will be happy when I can see Hannah's pretty smile up close and personal. I want to whisper in her ear and hear Emily laugh with her. From what I am told, Hannah is a pretty spirited child. Good, she will be a good match for her big sister! Hannah had her visa picture taken, and she had her medical exam in Guangzhou. Our travelling friends describe the capital city as being Vegas-like and the hotel as being like a resort. Excellent! Rob has taken four tapes worth of video since arriving in Beijing--movie night will have a whole new meaning! That will provide a keepsake of Hannah's heritage and homeland. We would love to visit again as a family, when the girls are older. The medical exams went well. Hannah passed. However, Rob confirmed his suspicion that Hannah has a respiratory infection. Thank goodness for Western medicine; he had a jump start on the antibiotic. It seems most of the babies are requiring medical attention of some sort. We are praying for each and every family. After Emily's respiratory infection morphed into pneumonia, under the best of circumstances and on an antibiotic, in January, Rob is being pretty conservative about her care. (He is thinking those 14 hours on a plane, folks!) Because of taking it easy and resting, there are few pictures to share, so I have included a couple from Emily's trip to the zoo yesterday. Today, she attended an annual Easter Egg Hunt and Creative Children's Celebration at church and tonight, she thought it would be a great idea to put on a play of the Easter story...guess who got to be the donkey? At any rate, Hosanna! The picture of Hannah is just before bedtime...Night, night Hannah. We love you. Mommy and Emily             This page hosted by
