She has so much spunk and determination, and is full of hugs, kisses and loving words. The other day while I was holding her at bedtime, she stroked my face and said, "mommy beautiful." Melted my heart! I adore her! I am so grateful for the gift God has given me by bringing her to our family. She completes us!<br />

Some have asked where I purchased the little <a href="http://www.amazon.com/JC-Toys-Baby-11-Inch-Asian/dp/B002APM86M/ref=sr_1_2?s=toys-and-games&ie=UTF8&qid=1388792265&sr=1-2&keywords=chinese+baby+doll" target="_blank">Chinese Baby Doll</a> for my two girls. Amazon! They are small, easy to take with you, and both of the girls LOVED them. They played with them in China and constantly at home. They are so darling and very reasonable. The one we bought for Ellie has this outfit on it. The other one we purchased 2 1/2 yrs ago has a different one. <br />

She is precious. A handful, but precious. I am so thankful for her...her healthy, her energy, her sweetness, her bonding, her determination, and the beauty she has brought to our life. She is perfect in every way God intended her to be. It is amazing what a month can do!<br />

She loves to copy big sister Lizzie and they are learning to get along better (though the competition between the two can be exhausting). They are both adjusting to each other. She has an infectious laugh that comes easily. She doesn't cry much and is curious about everything. She cries when she can't find me, but I don't mind that. She loves food and tries it all. She doesn't love chocolate milk, which is a first for our family. She does love hot milk in a bottle still, but we haven't had to buy formula since we have been home. She's adjusted to the food very well. And she is potty training on her own, meaning that we've finally figured out what she is saying and she doesn't want a dirty diaper. Still not out of diapers, but it's not bad. She loves having the other children around and I love having them fill the air with their laughter and play. I am so grateful to be a mother of 5 wonderful and perfect children. They are such a blessing and light in my life and bring me so much purpose. I don't know if I like that two of them are now taller than me, but there isn't much I can do about that :-)<br />

And we're together as a family! It was a great flight with a huge miracle. Ellie didn't want anything to do with anyone until we arrived in Seattle from Shanghai. She had fallen asleep by grandma, so I went over and picked her up and held her. It was so nice to snuggle her. She was still asleep when we landed, so I carried her off the plane. She woke up after a while and looked up at me and just smiled. She never let me put her down or be away from her after that. She was on my lap on our last flight, had me carry her off, and wanted me to hold her while she fell asleep at home. She took to Big Brother, the athlete, quickly, and loved meeting Grandpa. It was truly a miracle. Thank you for your prayers! It was such a blessing for me!</div>

Do you see those cuddles. What a tough 2 weeks, but so worth this joy as a mother. I'm so grateful for this experience. I love China and the gifts that it has given me! Can't wait to drink water out of the tap, though, and read a menu I understand. I also cannot wait to take my girls back to visit their homeland!

They said it was beautiful and they expected it to be peaceful, but it was noisy and busy, but fun. Here are some of their pictures.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We had a great time at the zoo, though we were tired after. Monkey Boy had begged us to go, and he really belongs in a zoo, so we went. Ellie seemed to enjoy it, but easily lost interest. Grandma stayed back. Biggest disappointment was the Panda's. They were locked behind a glass cage and you could hardly see them. We missed the out playing in their playground. Glad we saw them up close at the San Diego Zoo a while ago. There were many animals to see and it was still worth it. The subway exited right at the South entrance. We took a taxi there for 20 rmb and the subway home for 9 rmb. You'll see some of our favorite animals below, photos compliments of Monkey Boy. You'll see 3 little monkeys that belong to me, too!</div>

We took a cab to the Pearl Market where Jocelyn and Grace helped me buy good quality pearls at a great price. I picked up a set for Ellie Mei to give to her (with earrings) on her 16th Birthday. I did the same last time for Lan Lan girls. We had so much fun shopping at this mall. It was huge and very Chinese. We left Baba and Ellie home.</div>

Today was the day that we did family photos, or what used to be known as the Red Couch Photos. The lobby was so crowded that I requested that we do them outside, which worked. I guess there is a Pacific Island President staying here, so security has been tight and the lobby crowded. I thought the security had to be for us:) Anyway, we loved them outside. Aren't those nine beautiful adoptees so darling! They are all doing so well. And I think our family photo turned out great as well. Monkey boy and Princess found some very beautiful outfits as well. I can't wait to fly home to our other two and try on their outfits! </div>

We took a taxi to Shamain Island, played on the exercise equipment, visited the statues, ate at Lucy's and did a little shopping. I love it there! It is sad that the White Swam is closed. It is so beautiful and peaceful there, but I do like the China Hotel...it's just in the business of the city. Good family times!<br />

Today we had our medical exam appointment which is required by the US Government. Basically we tell them what their medical condition is (i.e. Ellie had hydrocephalus) and then show them the original and most updated medical reports from the orphanage. She then has her temperature taken, ears-nose-throat briefly checked, weight taken, a doctor looks at her and makes any notes about scars/marks on her body, and then because she is 2 she had to have a TB test, which is horrible. They take them from you and into a room with the doors closed and then you hear them screaming as they take their blood. She hated the whole medical exam experience.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The best news of the entire day was that I took her to the medical exam alone and so she had to be with me, and she let me comfort her and hold her. It wasn't much, she still didn't want to hold my hand, but she did let me comfort her. As soon as we were back she turned to Grandma and Baba again, but it was so nice to know that when they aren't around, she will turn to me. It was a start. That was a tender mercy from God and helped heal my heart. We will be ok!</div>

I am so glad we did. We met a couple other families that are LDS at breakfast in the morning (1 family from Houston who has adopted a 13 year old girl and an 8 year old with Cerebral Palsy). Sherry (the mom) is travelling with her 14 year old biological daughter. This is their 2nd & 3rd adoption. We also met someone from SLC, Utah who is here doing some training for a company she works for. She is here for 3 weeks, so she went to church last week and was our guide. We ventured onto the subway, even changed lines, and then onto the Ramada Inn for church. We made it in time for part of Sunday School and all of Sacrament Meeting. It was so great to be a part of it! So many great people, many of them retired and teaching English. All so kind!<br />
<br />
There was a member of our church who had brought their girlfriend to church who was a Chinese National. Because of this, they had to ask her to leave but were able to give them the information of one of the Chinese branches that they knew of. China lets the international members meet together, but not a Chinese passport holder. LDS is not an officially recognized religion. We cannot talk about it to Chinese nationals or invite them to church. However, there are members of our church who are Chinese nationals who meet separately. The church even has a website dedicated to the Chinese people. When you ask the church how many branches/wards are in China, they won't tell you. We believe in obeying the laws of the land, so it all has to remain separate. <br />
<br />
While at church, we met a former Utah Attorney General, one of my mother-in-laws best friends from high school, and someone who had been in the same ward as Jake's uncle. What a small world! I am glad we ventured out!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4765294294532132879.post-19950576915764977102013-11-02T08:43:00.001-07:002013-11-02T16:39:46.724-07:00Heading to Guangzhou<div class="MsoNormal">

Guangzhou, our last stop before heading home on Friday. It was so foggy that our flight was supposed
to be delayed, but they were able to get u on the earlier flight, which had
been delayed and left when we were originally scheduled. The bus driver took us the back way because
you could hardly see in front of you 20 feet and he wanted to be safe. It took a little longer, but the wait at the
airport was short. Money Boy & Ellie
took a nap on the way.<o:p></o:p></div>

We had to say goodbye to Yisha and Vivian. Oh, I will miss them! Yisha had been our CCAI Rep during our
adoption trip 2 years ago as well, and it was so good to see her. She visited with me several times to
encourage me and give me advice and support, seeing how difficult it has been
to be so rejected by this precious girl whom I love so much. I will be forever grateful for her wisdom and
belief in my abilities. This has been so
much more difficult than our first trip, but I know it is the right thing and I
know we have a little girl who is hurting more than I am. I pray for her constantly.<br />

Ellie hated the seat belt and figured out how to undo it
before we even pulled onto the runway. She did well on the flight and Jake just
held her during the landing so we didn't have to fight her. She liked looking out the window, but really
struggled once we came into our hotel room. Another big change with people she
still isn’t sure about. She fell asleep
crying tonight. She talks in her sleep,
so I keep listening to her. Hopefully
this week she’ll be able to relax a little more and begin to bond better with me
and the family as a whole. She likes Monkey
Boy, he plays with her and she responds well to him most of the time. Grandma is next in line. She is at least acknowledging Princess and
me. She knows I am the source of food,
bottle, and drink and will call for Mama when she wants those, but baba still
owns her heart.<br />

We went on the tour of the Shaolin Buddhist Temple and Gung Fu (Kung Fu-they say Gung Fu here in Zhengzhou) Training School. It was very foggy and we couldn't see the mountain, but it was mystical and beautiful and educational for the kids. They can start as early as 5 years old. It is a year-round school where they live on campus and visit home twice a year. Many children are raised in the province and city as the mothers parents so are not with their parents most of the year, so sending them away to school like this is not much different. The pagoda garden has many small and large burial pagoda's, some very ancient and some very new. The size and location are based on the financial contributions given to the Shaolin Temple and Gung Fu Training School. The leaves were all changing colors, the air was crisp, and there were very few people there. A unique experience that I'm glad we were able to have.<br />

I brought a kitty headband and tail just in case, but we were lucky to get her to wear her Halloween shirt and a sparkly skirt…actually, we’re lucky to get her changed in the mornings. She hates baths, she hates her diaper changed, she hates the warm footed pajamas I brought, and she hates changing clothes. But, she did look darling and she did receive a sucker from one of the other families as a Trick or Treat. I missed my two at home, and I think my two here felt a little cheated that they weren't having Halloween. They don’t celebrate it much here in Zhengzhou (though you saw a few at restaurants dressed up). We were having such a hard time with Ellie, Jake was throwing up and so we forgot to send them door-to-door to the 9 families here all dressed up. Too bad.<o:p></o:p></div>

<b>Visiting Zhengzhou Orphanage</b></div>
The highlight of the day was our visit to Zhengzhou orphanage where our other daughter is from. Jake and Ellie stayed back at the hotel because Jake was feeling sick (McDonalds the day before) and Ellie would not leave without him. We had to drive through some crazy washed out-rain flooded roads, but it just made the trip more exciting.</div>

They are re-doing all of the living quarters for the kids and have added an entire new area of schools (classrooms even have smartboards in them), a soccer field and track (which has taken the place of the tree where Lizzie was found outside the orphanage original entrance) that they let our children run on, an indoor play area, and an amazing pretend play area where they will have little shops and real-life areas for the children to use. It is all geared for the older children who don’t find families. You could see the excitement on the children’s faces. They’ve just opened up the new area for tours and it is nearly finished for use (the classrooms are finished, and the real-life area is almost). There is an enclosed walkway that connects the living area with the school. It was so exciting! I want to go home and raise funds to help improve Ellie’s & Lizzie’s orphanages! <o:p></o:p></div>

I fell in love with one little girl who has a heart condition. It was so hard for her to breath, but when I first went up to her she looked over and smiled and grabbed my hand so tight. She was precious. I pray her surgery will go well and that she will find a forever family. Each baby that we saw we sat down and talked to and touched them. This orphanage has great nannies who take time to hold and feed each baby (the rooms were filled with babies), so they have that human touch. It was such a great experience for my princess and monkey boy. I think it really opened their eyes. My Monkey Boy had one orphan by who was fascinated with him and my camera, and was such a happy crazy teasing boy. I was able to take a photo of them together. I could picture the two of them being great friends. What a darling boy. The orphanage visits always leave me wanting to do something more for those children who are so precious in God’s sight. I know he has such a special place in His heart for them. Someday, I will go back with my children and we will be His hands in make a difference in their lives!</div>

It is a newer regulation in Henan Province that you travel to the child's orphanage home city to apply. We caught a little sleep, played some, ate at McDonald's in Zhoukou and all got sick (we don't like it in the US, so why would we like it here, I don't know...don't eat the lettuce!), and were able to drive by Ellie's orphanage (they don't allow visits) and finding spot (the place they found her abandoned). We were the only family of the three that had that privilege and I am so grateful! I took several photos of the city to share with her as she grows older. And I kept looking into the faces of the people of Zhoukou wondering who knew more about her story, who was her birth mother and father, and wanting to embed them into my mind and heart to somehow connect me to them, and therefore, to her.</div>

Ellie was found abandoned in the courtyard of the People's Hospital in Zhoukou. These are photos of the hospital, courtyard, and the street the hospital is on. She had hydrocephalus when she was abandoned and so we assume that her family left her here because they could not afford to get her the help she needed. It was due to an injury after birth. She was 4 months old.</div>

It went fairly smooth...we signed papers, they presented us with our official Adoption Document, we headed to the notaries office to have all of the paperwork copied and notarized, paid our fees and we were finished! Whether she likes it or not, I am not her mom...and she isn't going for that at all right now. She calls me mama, but she only wants her daddy to touch her, comfort her, hold her, and love her, and it breaks my heart. But, I know she is going through a tremendous amount of change and trying to make sense of it all, and I pray she will be able to accept my love before this trip is through. I didn't realize how hard the rejection would be on me and I could use a really good cry, but I am grateful for a good husband who loves her and in whom she has found comfort and safety. I love you, Ellie Mei!</div>

She cried for quite a while at first and only wanted Jake, but after a little while, with the help of Nathan finding the bubbles in our bag, we had her settled down and not fighting to be with us. Slowly she came back to me, and by the time we left we had her laughing as we played with a balloon with her. I am so glad I listened to those promptings to stick in those easy to carry around items. She loved them. After a great lunch she took a peaceful nap. She is eating very well, watching a movie with big sister, carrying her baby around, and being very cuddly with daddy and mommy. She is absolutely perfect! I pray she will find peace and comfort in our arms. We love our little Ni Ni.<br />

One of my favorite laughs was the split pants, so I had to take a photo. Yep, the pants are split and they have the kids just go potty in a bag, garbage can, curb, or a toilet if it is convenient. Pretty funny.<br />

They wouldn't let us walk onto Tiannaman Square because the French (I think) president was visiting. Security was very high. But the Forbidden City was open. We were rushed through, as is normal, to stay on schedule, but we didn't do any of the pearl, jade or silk markets, which was surprising. Monkey Boy did not feel like he had near enough time or freedom to explore. Princess thought the walk was too long, but cool. Just wait until the Great Wall Trip tomorrow!</div>

We took the subway with Katie & Steve to the Silk Factory to do some shopping.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The subway was a first for the kids and it was a fun adventure.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Jake had 2 custom suits made and my mom and I had silk suits made.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Jake needed new suits for the legislation, and I did because I go with him.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We had fun letting the kids shop and barter, or watch Daddy barter!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We also had to replace the bag of things Nathan had purchased and lost in the cab.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He thought the family he rode with home from the Kung Fu Show had grabbed it, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but it was left in the taxi.</div>

We're packed and ready to go. We have way to many bags, but we're packed and everyone is happy! We dropped bags and all the info off for those staying on Monday night to make it easier to leave on Tuesday. The house was pretty clean, garbage taken out, and dishes done. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdpdNtqmibRKCVxBKclPYlD5-Ym8ryEvX34pkmCxJw88NZiY_EqxKAqzJpvRzbsB70fK8Cr6ZXBtEQiIrUmjXp_jiZBTvfb3kfTR0J4Qb1eIbIWKwxh_Ro4UPAIdIq10cbVmyUwuGYWEHA/s1600/DSCN0028.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdpdNtqmibRKCVxBKclPYlD5-Ym8ryEvX34pkmCxJw88NZiY_EqxKAqzJpvRzbsB70fK8Cr6ZXBtEQiIrUmjXp_jiZBTvfb3kfTR0J4Qb1eIbIWKwxh_Ro4UPAIdIq10cbVmyUwuGYWEHA/s320/DSCN0028.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
We decided to start out our adventure with a trip to Panda Express. Yep, Chinese food. Since one of the school projects is to compare food, we figured it woud be a great place for lunch. After, we dropped the oldest off to school and the youngest off to a cousins. That was sad, but I know they'll be ok.<br />

Then, we were off! This was the first plane ride these two can remember. They were so excited, especially my Monkey Boy. He couldn't hold himself back from grinning and bursting with excitement. It was a long ride, but it went great. However, we did get to our hotel really late, our rooms had been given away so we had to book new ones, and our ride didn't come, so we had to figure out a ride from the airport to our hotel. Luckily it worked out great.<br />

We're staying at Sundworld Dynasty. Lots of great and new things to try! We enjoyed it. We ran into another travel group who was going to a Kung Fun show, so we joined them after some fun shopping. It was an interesting show at the Red Theater. I now have a much better understanding of the way Buddhism works. Crazy athletic guys performing. Crazy being the main word.<br />

The kids had brought some money and were excited to try out their bargaining skills. Dad led the way and seems to enjoy it immensely. It was fun to watch him. He is good at it. <br />

While shopping, we started talking to this "American Couple," the Schoffs (I think that was their last name, I'm so bad at remembering names), that happened to be from Sandy, Utah..a 20 minute drive from our home. They were there speaking at a dental conference. Pretty amazing! What a small world and what a great cause!<br />

We asked for a bigger bed for my 9 yr old. This is what they brought. He's a little big, but somehow he fits. No, he didn't sleep there, we made a bed for him on the couch, but we did have a good laugh!<br />

All in all, a good experience so far! I am so grateful to be in China and share this experience with two of my wonderful children. I love it here! Next time, I'm going to study Chinese so that I can communicate with the people better. Such good people!</div>

We are bringing 2 of our children...Monkey Boy and Princess Pea Pod. We are all so excited to travel and I am trying to pack! Ellie is packed. Socks were purchased for me (mine all had holes and now that summer is over and socks are a must, I had to buy some). My dear friend donated much needed essential oils that I was out of. Doctors visits and flu shots completed. Snacks purchased, outfits chosen (I wore them all to make sure they would be <i>comfortable</i> with a busy schedule and cooler weather, light to pack and easy care), laundry in the works. Packing the remainder of the kids will happen tomorrow (and hopefully me). Jake is almost back in town to help. I am hoping that Monday (my birthday) is relaxing. I have a facial scheduled-only the 2nd one in my life. Hair cuts for the boys scheduled tomorrow. Lists are made. Copies of all docs are done. Cashiers check for in-China travel has been sent. Grandma is almost done with Ellie's soft purple blanket. Monkey Boy finished the Book of Mormon Reader and cleaned my fridge today. Princess Pea Pod and Monkey Boy have their list of homework to do while we're travelling. Extra passport photos are taken. VPN purchased (I highly recommend Express VPN). House cleaned tomorrow and picked up on Tuesday morning. Still several things on the list, but it is all getting done! Now, if I can just stay calm and not let myself get overly anxious, which I am known to do. I didn't make my bed today, which tells you I'm feeling a little overwhelmed!<br />

What is most important that is on October 28, we will be picking up a little miracle from Zhoukou, China, and she is going to be such a blessing in our lives. Can't wait to begin this next part of our journey with our family!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com3
