Quiet Day in China

Today was a day for catching up on some much needed rest! We actually slept until 0430, this morning, and it was absolute heaven! After having some in-room coffee and a tag team to the treadmill, we had a leisurely breakfast. Then, while Jay worked on school, Kai and I took advantage of the play area in the hotel. It was a beautiful day in the low 70s and low humidity! Kai had a blast on the slide. We then slipped his shoes off and waded into some very cool water...seemed to have a blast!
After a short nap, we went out to the local passport office to start the paperwork to head out of the country!

This evening, we had dinner with a couple from Waco, TX who are heading home tomorrow! We hated to see them go so soon, but understood that they, too, were anxious to get home to their other 2 children:-)
Tomorrow may be another emotional day, as we head to Kai's orphanage for a visit. We also hope to have an opportunity to meet his foster parents, but are not too optimistic about that.

Meanwhile, this kid is a jewel. Each day, he reveals a little more of his great personality...and some apparent mad skills on the dance floor (thanks to the help of Dora the Explorer on Netflix!) So the prayers are helping! I think the worst is behind us...not counting the "I'm almost 3 and will test my limits" moments that have begun to emerge:-)

Love to all!!

  1. I'm glad this little guy likes to sing and dance, and it sounds as though you'll be cooking a lot of noodles Kim. Prayers that everything goes smoothly tomorrow. Please give him a big hug from his grandma. Love you all.

  2. Just wanted to tell you how much I look forward to checking your blog every morning. First thing I do before I make coffee - and I do love Coffee. Kai has really been a little trouper to be taken out of the only life he has known, into a strange world with strange people (no offense), but so pleased that he is relaxing and becoming familiar with his new mom and dad.
    Very exciting times for the family and I wish you all the best. Kai certainly will have alot of love from all. I imagine Campbell and Cael are counting the days and know Kai is just going to fit in perfect.
    Already looking forward to tomorrow morning update -
    Bless you all....Aunt, Judy
