We have had a busy day: learned how to stack some blocks & share with others in the play room at the White Swan, went to the local fish market, got scared by the frogs, saw some turtles, alligators, scorpions, ate some sugar cane, had a nap, went to the Pearl Market (oh the pearls, lots & lots of pearls), rode a bike & ended the day with a Pearl River boat cruise. Hudson is now asleep...so sweet. We have had him one week today & what a change. We love him so much & feel so lucky each time we think of our 2 chinese blessings. Can't wait for him to experience all the opportunities the USA has to offer.
One more full day left & then we leave bright and early Wed. morning.
One day closer to home, loves & kisses to Ravenna for us!

Hey guys! I think those gators were just a tad too close for comfort...if you ask me....yikes!! I love the pics of course. Mason is currently liking Glamorous, apparently he is in to hip hop and I never knew it. Have a good day my friends, and travel safe. Thinking of you.....
Loved the pictures, honey. Another day gone--can't wait to get you all home. We may not give up Ravenna. She had a wonderful visit at Nana and Papa's with Ann, Shaun, Hannah, and Delaney. She is the sweetest child. Errands today. Your blog from China has been so wonderful for all of us. Love to you all. xoxo from Ravenna. We look at "daddy-mommy-TV" alot. What a good thing you two did when you made that for her.
The pictures are great. Gives me a little bit of understanding of what it is like over there. It is so different, it is crazy. Thanks for the continuous updates. Wishing you the best in your LONG airplane ride home. We will see you at the airport!! Love to you all.

Travelers, You will be pleased to know that I have made much progress with Ravenna's toilet habits. She now makes direct eye contact with me before pooping. Your cue will be a slight rolling of her eyes. All is well here, whistling Bill is back walking, imaginative grafitti on our new bridge (I sleep better at night knowing that the 3rd Street Gangstas have my interests at heart), and I continue by battle with two testosterone loaded woodpeckers who have demoed the south side of our house. Ravenna is convinced you are up in
the "Ky", so let's get you home on the ground safe.

Hey Beb! LOVE the collages! Very cool! Look at how many people are commenting on your blog now! Who knew all it would take was a trip to China? ;) I'm dying for you guys to get home! Can't wait to see you all and give my new nephew a squeeze!
Stephan, Bebe & Hudson,
We have so enjoyed following along with you on your China adventures and watching Hudson bloom along the way.We played with Ravenna yesterday and loved that she copied everything we said. Hannah accused Delaney of being "bossy" to Venna...where did she learn that? We are excited for your return. A quote to always remember Bebe is that " Our adopted children were not born under our hearts, but in our hearts!" Shared with me years ago and so perfect to how we all feel!
Love to you all,
Ann Marie, Shawn,Hannah & Delaney

Wow! I have been addicted to reading your blog everyday. You should be a writer! Thanks for lighting up my day and just giving me that "feel good" smile and tears. I am absolutely thrilled for you guys. Congratulations on you new little sweetheart!
Love,

Sounds like you had a great day I never thought Stephen would be able to pick up block stacking wow good job Bebe you must be a great teacher. Learning how to share was another big step hopefully we can share some CL's when you guys get back home. I just put Demo and Mama in the car they are headed off to the Can they will be at the airport anxiously awaiting the arrival of Hudson, Amy and Stephan the block stacker. Hopefully Bob will leave the 3rd street Gangsters on 3rd street. AMFA
