I am happy to report the travelers will be home tomorrow afternoon. I'd like to ask everyone reading this to pray for a safe journey for Melinda, her Mom, and baby Katie. It will be a long flight with a babe in arms. Most of us know how stressful that can be. Melinda has fulfilled a personal dream to be a Mom and have a family of her own, but more than that, she has given a future to this most prescious angel. All of us Moms know what a sacrifice motherhood can be. It is a lifetime commitment full of sorrow and joy. Bless you Melinda for what you have done. I am here to help you every step of the way. Thank you for trusting me with your blog. I've enjoyed doing it. Love you very much!!

good morning everyone-
Katie is taking her mid morning nap so I can get on the computer. Yesterday a trip to the zoo was made. Lots of tigers, lions, elephants, giraffes(5), large cats, zebras but lots of uphill walking and Mom hurt her knee- hopefully, it will be better today. Took a nap after the zoo- it was very hot outside with lots of humidity.
Here is Mermaid Katie- found in the Pearl River.
Love you all-
Melinda

Hello all,
I know the travelers are very ready to come home. Baby Katie is to get her visa to the United States today, which I think is still tomorrow in China, Lol. I know a visit to the zoo was made and everyone had a good time in spite of the heat. The new grandmother called home this morning and said they were all getting kind of board. I know this blogger will be happy to get them back home. It's my understanding that the journey home begins Wednesday of this coming week and includes connections in Hong Kong and Tokyo. That's all I know for now. More to follow as it becomes available. Janet
