Hey all! We are all doing fine. Emilea is a little jet lagged. But we are fine. We get Hannah in about 1.5 hours! We are excited. We can't upload pics from this computer but maybe when we get to Guang....in 5 days we can. We can however upload messages. We have been busy the last couple days while here. we were in Beijing until last night when we flew to Wuhan where we are now. In Beijing we saw the Summer Palace although it was more like winter palace.....very very very cold.... Then we went to the Jade factory then the Great Wall and tried two restaurants...ALL IN ONE DAY! Talk about busy! Yesterday we went to Church, went to the Forbidden City..although we did not go in because we had had enough of the cold. Emilea was just about to freeze to death! Last night we flew in here and we were told news that requires PRAYER. We were told by our guide that Hannah had scolding water spilled on her feet and was taken to the hospital a couple days ago. She was released, but we do not know how badly she is hurt! Please pray for her. We will get her shortly and are very excited and nervous and everything else you can imagine. We are hoping the scaulding isn't bad, but at this point we have no idea. we just want to get her and bring her HOME!

Glenda is surviving and hasn't had any lizzard on a stick yet...lol...but she is still looking. ha ha. Maybe later in our travels.

Emilea is so very excited today she get's her little sister and can't seem to wait.

The beds in Beijing were comfortable but the ones here are very very hard...almost like a rock. Oh well, it will all be over soon and it's all so very worth it to bring our baby girl home!

We love you all and hope all are fine. We miss you.

I prayed for you & Hannah before bed last night and it was the first thing I prayed for this morning. I am praying God's blessings to be showered over each of you as you get to know one another. Can't wait to see pictures!

You are in my prayers. I hope the transition goes well and Hannah is okay as I'm sure she will be. This is such an exciting time for you and I wish you all best. Happy Mother's Day, Happy Father's Day, Happy BIG Sister's Day. Hang in there Emilea - it's all worth it and you'll be back home before you know it with your little sister.

Hi, guys! I am so happy to hear from you all! Mom, you thought it was cold here? haha Good thing you bought a coat! We will keep Hannah (and all of you) in our prayers that she is okay and doing well. You should have her by now! You are probably snuggling her right now! I will close for now so I can go snuggle with my Ryah...she is doing well...growing so strong everyday! The latest weight...3 lbs 9.7 oz...she is doing very well! I will give her hugs and kisses to her for you...and you give Hannah and Emilea hugs and kisses for us! Tell Emilea she will have to show Hannah the ropes on how to take a bath in the river!!!! haha :)

Take care and God Bless.
Dawnette, Gary and Ryah
