Half Way There!
Today we are officially half way home.  It was an uneventful day.  However, last night was not uneventful.  Mary was up all night with a tummy ache and she actually threw up her steamed eggs all over Ronnie.  Anyway, we survived.  She doesn't have a fever so we just think the eggs did not settle well.  The man who was so sick is feeling better. We are all so thankful.  We went to an embroidery shop today. Hunan is known for this.  They were amazing.  Some take years to make and look like photographs.  Mary slept for most of it.  We walked to KFC for lunch.  Interesting trying order, but we all help each other out.  Very hot here today.  The air conditioning has not been working in this hotel well and it is probably 75 degrees and humid in our room.  I pray that our next hotel is cooler.  Good for Mary I guess she is used to it hot.  Hunan is also known for spicy food.  They say Hunan girls are spicy girls.  Well, ours surely is.  She is so alert and taking everything in.  She can crawl like crazy, but don't really want to put her on hotel floor.  We have been using sheets on the floor for her to play.  We leave at 8:00 in the morning.  and leave for next city at 10:00.  It is an hour flight. We are all anxious to see how the girls do and what we have to look forward to for our 16 hour flight home.  We put her in the bath to play before bed and she loves it.  She and Lily are going to have fun together taking a bath.  We got so many smiles today.  Oh by the way, yesterday on the drive at 5 on WPER Ron requested they play a song for Lily and Robert and tell them we love them from China and will be home with Mary soon.  Then they prayed for us on the radio.  Good idea Ronnie.  She does this really cute thing where I take her picture then she smiles.  I was able to capture a few smiles to day on camera.  Enjoy the pictures below and the real thing will be home soon!
