Pictures

I was going to get these up last week but toward the end of the week I came down with a sinus infection that slowed things down. I am grateful we were all healthy in China! The antibiotics that we took to China came in handy when we got home! I took one of our children to the doctors for an annual exam and asked him to take a peek at Hannah's ears because she's had a cold for over a week. She has an ear infection. Again, those antibiotics came in handy!! I can only post four pictures per post. Enjoy!

Gotcha Day! The lady in the yellow  is Shao Rui Hannah's foster mother. I think that the lady in red also helped care for her as she was able to answer questions as well. The man in the picture is the director of the orphanage; he is holding his 3 year old daughter. The lady next to him is his wife. Poor Shao Rui Hannah was wiped out!

I took this picture while we were waiting for our driver in Kunming. There were several men doing street repairs. They were digging with shovels and mixing concrete on the street--no pails. Notice that the man is hold a long nail. He was banging that hammer on top on the nail to break up the concrete. It looked like his goal was to break up all the concrete around that small square that he was sitting on. In the states, we would use a jack hammer and it would be done in minutes. I wonder how many hours it took him to complete the job. 

In the evening, I would take Nicholas downstairs to the play area in our hotel. It gave us some alone time and gave Dan some bonding time with Shao Rui Hannah.
