Hopefully the blog is working????  We are having to do a different method now that we are in a different section of China.  This is something we expected and thankfully Ryan is pretty computer savvy :)  Last night was another peaceful evening once we all settled in.  In fact, we had to wake the children up for breakfast.  No Pop Tarts this morning :)  Instead, we had a variety of pastries and pancakes and bacon and french toast and croissants as well as cereal.....in other words, we ate like kings/queens.  We are anxious to do a bit of exploring around our hotel, then we will rest for a bit and then.....MADDOX REN!  As we ate breakfast this morning, there were several statements said to the effect of "this is our last breakfast as a family of five" and "wow, tomorrow we are going to need two baby chairs" and "I wonder what Maddox will want to eat, do you think she will like donuts?"  We are all anticipating her arrival.  Ryan said yesterday, "Beth, we are going to be parents again tomorrow!"  Chills.  Excitement.  Uncertainty. We have prayed for her heart to be open to us.  We trust that she will feel our love.  I do wonder what she is doing right now.  How is her foster family celebrating her big day?  We will see.....

Until then.....

You left us hanging with the difference between MK and the little girls living in China!?!

I'm so thrilled to hear how well everyone is doing AND eating! :) There's been lots of buzz around our house anticipating the next few hours! The thoughts of what that must be like for you all is just overwhelming! Thank you for sharing it all with us! We rejoice in His perfect timing for your family and praise God for Maddox...His good and perfect gift from above!

Love the pics!
