This is from last night. She has been clinging to the rabbit. She gave the brush up when the turn down service brought chocolates in a plastic box. She took it straight from the lady's hand and would not give it up. I finally got it away from her in her sleep.

It's been a rough trip so far. Phillip's luggage is still lost. I have two pairs of pants covered in vomit. Julianna will not take a bottle. She's had pedialyte, which I hope comes out of khaki pants. I'm also trying to master typing with a toddler in my lap. We did expect it to be tough and we know it will get better and that one day all will be forgotten. But it still makes the day long.

Thanks for all your comments and prayers. We can't wait for all of you to see her.

We are so excited for you. She is beautiful! We'll be praying for easier and shorter days. Katie was sitting with me when I came to this site, and she got so excited when Julianna's picture came up on the screen. She started waving, blew her a kiss, and said "baby." She's already excited to have a new little friend at church! We're praying for you!

Clorox 2 has taken everything Kali threw up out of our clothes. That stuff is wonderful!! Sometimes you just have to soak it overnight in hot water, but it does wonders!!

She is so beautiful!! Sure hope things settle down soon, and the luggage arrives soon!

Funny about the chocolate!!

I am so glad that you are able to let us all be a part of your experience. I like so many others wish that I could be there to help. But I know that my prayers are being heard and that God is in control. Don't get discouraged, just love her!! She is a treasure from Him!

You are very pretty and I can not wait to see you and I love chocolate too! I have rabbits in my room and I hear you have lady bugs in your room. I like lady bugs too. Happy Easter to my new buddy. Hurry up and come home. Give a big hug to your mommy and daddy from me.

Yeah Yeah Yeah!!!! You finally have your hands on her! Welcome to parenthood!! Trust me-the good WAY outweighs all the bad and one day you will look back at this and say "Do you remeber our first trip to China....?" I can't wait to see you all at the airport! Jessica wants to come too but I have not decided if I will take her out of school yet or not! See you soon!

Love, Your big sister Penny

She has to take after me if she will give something up for chocolate from the turn down person. I look forward to my mint at night from the turn down person (me) so I know it is time to go to bed. Love Paw Paw

I just wanted to let you know that Julianna is beautiful. I was so excited when I found out about Julianna's closet. She is lucky to have such great parents.

See you soon/Claudia
