Beautiful pagoda.
Today we had a day all to ourselves, no official appointments. William Michael was up very early today. We went for a long walk after breakfast and found this beautiful pagoda, walked around a park that's just across from our hotel and took many pictures. The heat is oppressive and that is how it is in China in the summer. After that we took both kiddos swimming which they loved! I'll tell you some things about Will: he loves watermelon, bread, noodles, broccoli, and meat, he can count to 12!, speaks in 3-4 word sentences, is quite self confident, loves to swim, adores Grace and is now letting me pick him up if he falls down. Grace, Will and I have been playing a lot of 'chase' in the hallway...they chase me and I chase them. :) He's come so far in the 3 days we've been together.
13 kind words:
Yeah!!! I'm sooo happy for you Gail and Dan. :) He looks like such a doll. Yet, full of boy!! I can't wait to meet him...I really can't.
I like watermelon too! He's a doll...
William and Grace look stunning together...I love all of his black hair! By the time you are ready to come home....all will be well! ;)
LOVE the Pagoda picture.....they are my fav! ;0
Hugs,

I just love seeing your newly expanded family! Will and Grace looks beautiful together. It sounds like everything is working out so well for you guys.
And he is just so handsome!
Beautiful!! It's that simple!! Keep the posts coming. Love hearing about your newly expanded family.
Such a blessing for you to see the progress each day...and it is fantastic that Will is able to communicate so well- this will decrease his frustration and help tremendously with his transition. (Speaking from our experience,we have been home for 4 months, and Maggie is learning to speak English- and says new words (not sentences so much yet) each day-)
What great pictures! I really loved the one the other day of Will- looking rather defiantly into the camera- as only a 2year old can! (yep- we have seen that look a few times ourselves!)...
Oh my gosh, I love the picture of the pagoda. You sound good. You also sound like things are really clicking along.
Look after yourself mommy.

So glad to hear that things are going well...still praying!
I love the pictures. Grace and William are so cute together. I know you are so proud.
