A Day Ends....A New Day Begins!!!

Here are a couple of photos as my 2nd Birthday drew to a close.

After My Bath


Papa and Me Making a Self Portrait!!!



After Breakfast we went to the zoo!!! I loved the monkies!!!


Papa and Me Looking at the Golden Monkey


Just after we saw the Golden Monkey our guide Rebecca recieved a phone call telling us that my passport photo wasn't done right the first time. We needed to go quickly and have a new one made. That meant we had to leave the zoo :-( After we had my photo made again we had to take it to the police station in Guangzhou which was far away from the zoo. The good news is that we get to back to the zoon on Saturday!!!! Yeah!!! After leaving the police station we did get to go to a beautiful park. Here are some photos from there.




A Family Walk in the Park




Mama Lets Me Try on Her Hat!!! Aren't I cute?!?



Papa says these stairs aren't near as steep as those at the Great Wall!!!
I'm not sure I believe him!!!



Rebecca, Mama and Me

Rebecca serves as our guide and translator while we are here in China.
She is very sweet.



Tomorrow monring we go to the orphanage where I lived for almost two years. Please pray for us that this will be a good visit. Mama and Papa get to help take some photos of babies there so that families still waiting to come to China can see their little ones!!!

Sorry you had to leave the zoo. I don't know how that picture didn't turn out, look how stinking cute that kid is. I hope the next one works because you must be on a plane for Turlock on the 10th. We can hardly stand not hugging and kissing that little love bug.
Love Regina, Rob and the Kids

Uncle Charley, does Joshua know his name in English? From Jacob

Marlo Salamy is my sister. I am so happy for you to have a precious boy. God allowed us to adopt two boys into our family. I know well the rollar coaster ride it can be. Marlo and her family leave tomorrow morning for their "Make A Wish" trip to Disney. Praying that everything will be in order when it is time for you to leave and that you have a safe trip home.

OK, you're official parents now! You have a naked bathtub photo! ;-) My son would swear that I put you up to taking that, but I know that it's just the "parent" in you coming out! ;-) How precious your little one is in all the photos! (Well, ALL THREE of you appear pretty awesome in all of the pix! But you can know where our eyes are focused most of the time! ;-)

We love you and are so in awe of God, our Great Provider and how He is blessing you and showing you His loving care. May He be PRAISED and GLORIFIED!

It looks like you all are making the most of your time in China enjoying the sights as well as taking care of the necessary legel work. That's good! Not that I would expect otherwise. :)
