Waiting For Ava

“But these things I plan won’t happen right away. Slowly, steadily, surely, the time approaches when the vision will be fulfilled. If it seems slow, be patient! For it will surely take place. It will not be late by a single day.” Habakkuk 2:3

Ava's first plane ride

Today we left Nanning and flew to Beijing. Ava was really great on the plane. It was a 3 hour flight. She slept for a good 2 hours. There was no crying at take off or landing with the change in pressure. She's an amazing girl I tell ya.

We are glad to be back in Beijing. The hotel is much nicer and it means that we are that much closer to home. We miss everybody and can hardly wait to get home to introduce Ava to her wonderful family.

Tomorrow we head to the Great Wall of China and to the Jade factory. I am not sure if I will be able to control Michael's spending. He left me in the hotel yesterday and came back with a beautiful mother/daughter pendant made of Mother of Pearl. Then he left me at the Nanning airport and brought back two Minority Dolls for Ava and a traditional love ball. OMG (Oh My God) he is out of control! LOL (Laugh out Loud)

Enough talk because I know all you want to see is pictures so here you go. I put a special one in for you Grandma!

We love you all and thank you so much for your support and well wishes!
