Happy Independence Day
We are sending love to Betsy's family members who are gathering in Colorado in preparation for her Dad's funeral. Our love, thoughts and prayers are with you all. We also send a huge thanks to Susan for helping us with this blog.
We spent most of yesterday visiting the Great Wall. It was extremely hot out, but a memorable day. Many Chinese people are attracted to Cassie because of her coloring and want to have their picture taken with her. SHe has been a great sport about this. She probably enjoys all the attention. We also visited a cloissone factory, a jade factory and shop, and the pearl mall. Lots of attractions to keep the ladies and girls happy!
Today we will visit the Forbidden City. Tonight we fly to Shanghai and tomorrow we will finally welcome Lacey to hour family. We are all feeling very emotional. But, we are blessed to be traveling with other American families who are adopting and we are all able to support each other. Soon, we'll have photos of Lacey to share!
Here's a picture of Cassie and I with friends we made while climbing the Great Wall.
Happy 4th of July to all Americans in the US and abroad! It is one of my most favorite holidays, and I miss not being on US soil, and enjoy a parade and fireworks!
ReplyDeleteMy prayers are with Betsy's family as well. God bless you all.
It is SO good to see Betsy and Cassie in a picture! I miss you so much.
I will think of you and pray for you and Lacey.
love,
Mirela

ReplyDeleteWe found a big bundle of punk in Grandpa Mack's den and it reminded us of how much he loved fireworks!!
