Laugh at My Expense!

An unexpected kiss from our Angel!


It's after 11:00pm here and we're exhausted but happy. Today we flew from Lanzhou to Guangzhou, which puts us just a little closer to home. We'll be here 5 days and fly home on September 11th. Michael and Abby are both doing great but Jawanna is suffering horribly from homesickness and malnutritin (ha ha!). Her dad's computer has been out of sorts the last few days, but hopefully the computer will be fixed soon and we will have comforting words from home.





Just thought all of you out there might enjoy a funny little story that happened. Those of you who really know me (Jawanna) will really find this hilarious.....when we reached Guanzhou today we were all spent since we had been up since 4am and Abby had not taken a nap the entire flight. She can really be a handful! Well, we got to the motel and not long after that our guide, Kelly, dropped by our room to chat with us about tomorrow's plans, etc. She picked up the little book we had sent Abby before we got here that had pictures of us and our families in it. The last picture was of Michael and I together and Kelly looked at it, pointed to my picture and said, "Is this your daughter?" I said, "No, that happens to be me. I just look horrible right now." Talk about busting your bubble! I looked so bad that she thought I was my own daughter!





Okay, if you're all through laughing now, I'll tell you that I've waited almost 17 years to have my makeup kissed off, my hair messed up, baby food all over my clothes, and a general lack of sleep from rocking my baby in the night. So no matter how haggard I may look to the rest of the world, I'm completely content and happy. Having this little joy in my arms is worth whatever price I may pay!
