Rainy Day Fun in Changsha


Another day in Changsha and we get to see more and more of Clara Beth's personality. Here she is with Land first thing this morning. She is quite the wake up call. She has done so well but she does cry out on and off during the night. I pray that she will be able to rest peacefully soon.

Here we are on the bus ready for our tour of Mao Zetong's school. It was a soggy day in Changsha. We woke up to pouring down rain. It didn't stop us, some of our group decided to stay at the hotel and rest while the adventureous ones headed out into the rain, babies and all. After another exciting ride swerving past cars and umbrella topped motorcycles we arrived at the school safe and sound. This girl loves to travel in her carrier.

Here's a picture of us in the hallway with a view of the school yard in the background. Clara Beth took her a little snooze in the carrier and woke up bright eyed and ready to go again!!!! Just look at that little sleeping angel!!!!! Gotta love that sweet face!!!

After our morning outing we came back to the hotel for some lunch and a short nap. Myself included. Then Land and Paul went down for a bowling match on the sixth floor. They had so much fun, Land challenged me to a match. I couldn't resist, we had a great time wih Clara Beth and Paul cheering us on. By the time we were finished, it was time to meet the group for dinner downstairs.


Here I am at dinner feeding Clara Beth and holding onto Geordyn while Houston visited the buffet. It is quite a sight to see us all together at meal time with all five of our little ones. We leave quite a mess in our wake. Thank goodness the hotel staff is so kind and they don't seem to mind at all. It's getting late here so I better be off to bed, keep the comments coming. We love hearing from you. Remember, God is sooooooooo good and he is sooooooooo faithful. Until next tme........... Robin
