We took a trip to the mainland to visit friends. We did three days, four houses and two nights in a hotel. Fun and super busy. I know, this is drivel compared to a referral but I have nothing else to add and extra energy so might as well carry on with the post I would have done normally.
Jia didn't travel well. It's been a while since we took her anywhere. Transitioning is not her thing. She was nervous and it took her a while to warm up everywhere we went. She had tons of fun once she relaxed. She loved the waterslides and is asking to go back. We thought she hated the hotel room until we let her drink milk out of the container and then it was all good. The oddest little things that make kids happy. Go figure. Lili and Fei enjoyed seeing everyone, as did Eric and I. Lots of laughs. Oh, and always good to come home, especially if you get a referral right away!
The obligatory ferry shot.
Olivia, adopted with Fei.

I was simply stunned at how brave Jia was at the waterslides!
She loved it!
High-lite of the day, a baby ladybug.
They are sooo stinkin' cute together.
Fei did hair and Jade got everyone dressed up.
And Lili had her nose in a book. She even thought to pack a flashlight! Seriously.
LOVE IT!
Best moment in the hotel.
She told us repeatedly that she wanted to go home and she didn't like the hotel. Since we're home she's asking to go back to the hotel.
Making new friends with Elsa and Evelyn.
Their family is waiting for a match to a boy too. We had so hoped we'd end up traveling together.
This is what Eric would look like with five kids :)
Totally random. Look what Eric made for me! Used to be just the wooden ball. It's so pretty. It's so much fun watching all the projects happening these days.
