We are still following along and enjoying every minute of it! Thank you so much for allowing us to travel this journey with you through your blog posts and the pictures.
If we were not all the way in NC we would try to greet you at the airport as you arrived home. We hope one day that our paths can cross again so that our little Asian princesses could meet one another.
We are continuing to pray for your family. We pray that God will give you an extra measure of strength as you finish up your trip.
With love,
The Harris Family

Hi guys, that hotel room and play room brings back the memories. Andy was laughing because it was a contest to see who didn't have to sit in the play room and listen to Sophie SCREAM.
Also, Joel carrying the stroller up the stairs at the tower. Oh man what a day.
I really can't wait to see her but I know you will enjoy Ghanzhou and the ice, yes that is right iced sweet tea at Lucys. I am trying to make a video for you on facebook, no luck yet.

Our computer is back on after being down for a few days.Now if we can just get the dryer working! You don't really appreciate things until they are gone. So excited to be able to see more pictures of Naomi. Kate already has her picture on her cell phone to show all her friends. Enjoy your plane trip and hope the next hotel room is a bit bigger.
Love, Margo, Molly and Kate.

Hi Lee-Anne!
You gave me your card at Urban Active a couple of weeks ago...I was working the playroom. Congratulations to you & your family! Naomi & Nate are such beautiful children. Your blog is so inspiring. -Melissa

I LOVE those pictures - Naomi gets prettier each time you post... maybe she is feeling the peace of a forever family! And how proud does Nate look??!! Lee-Anne I was cracking up when I saw you making sandwiches on a plastic bag- good improvising:) Thank you for sharing your life! We are still praying for everyone -safe travels and I love you all!!! -Melanie

When I read the part about palm licking, I thought of Karen H. and hand-sanitizer :-) Hmmm
What an adventure you all are on - in more ways than one. I love seeing the pictures of the sights you guys are taking in, especially picture of the small details and candid moments. Um, were those black pleather shorts, with black tights and cowboy boots? Nice!
Much love and prayers your way, JenD.

I've followed things since Dawn let me know your blogspot. Naomi is wonderful, awesome and all the special things you could describe. You, Joel and Nate with her make it indescribable. God is working miracles in your lives, and many, many people are led to Him by your witness. It will be good to see you at the mall -- with Naomi!

Love, Jackie Powell (Dawn Aulick's Mom)

We are following your journey daily, and we are so happy for you as your family has grown in such a remarkable way. She is so beautiful!!!
You are truly blessed and we wish you the best for the rest of your travels.

Ha Ha! I liked what Hollie said about just running out of words to say how amazing (fantastic, great, wonderful, exciting, thrilling, fun) it is to watch you get your beautiful (cute, sweet, precious, lovely, gorgeous) daughter. Oh great, now I have really used up all the words. We praise our God for who He is and for how he makes families!

hey guys! Looks like you are going to have some great warm weather in Guangzhou! Hope the change of scenery and location helps the time pass more quickly! We miss y'all tons! Isabel asked before bed tonight when Nate was coming home. She thinks 6 more sleeps seems like to many. Praying for smooth travels and happy (and patient) children! Love, the Daniels

By  Daniel Family, at 10:33 PM  

Beautiful scenery--beautiful family of God. Please tell me why I did not go with you guys--I could have been the official Photographer since Georgie "copped out" Then again having a Baby Matt was a legitimate excuse--he made the Outlook this week--Pops too !! Nate I miss you more than 10,000 goldfish

Happy Anniversary Joel and Lee-Anne!

Hey Guys! I came over to Mom's house tonight so that I could finally see all these videos.....WOW!!!!! I wish I had gotten some tissues before I started watching them----how awesome! I cannot get over how well Nate has done & can't stop thinking about what an experience this has been for him-----it's so neat to see him in the photos with you guys! The smiles on your faces when you have both your sweet children are just awesome to see...beyond words.....Naomi is just beautiful! Thank you again & again for sharing all of these pictures & videos..it's been awesome to follow along. I know your ready to come home, but we'll miss not checking in on your visit there. :) Joel--you need to make a Top 10 list like Andy did. :) Hope the last stop goes as well as the 1st couple of stops--looking forward to the next pictures. I hope your enjoying some good iced tea..let us know if Lucy's has good tea...compared to say tea here. :)) Love you guys & Miss you tons! Karen,Jason,Hannah, Ella & Kate
