Thank God for Starbucks

Our lifes blood!! Coffee!!!
We love you Starbucks!!


Riley after another long night sharing a bed with the princess!!

You do not know how much I mean that! It is like a tiny US here in Guangzhou!! They even have a real TOILET!! Not a squatty potty, but an honest to goodness toilet!! WOW I knew I loved Starbucks, but now there is no doubt!! We have gone there several times, and all the American families seem to feel the same way we do. We are sitting in the room now, waiting for our guide Elsie who is at the American Consulate now, applying for Ellie's (everyone's children in our group) visa. We have to wait here in case she has a problem with our paperwork, so she could get ahold of us if need be. After we get the all clear we are planning to go out shopping with the Skiles'. Hopefully also to Starbucks!! We love you Rorey!! Only a few more days....big kisses to you!!

Oh....Grace has that shirt that Ellie is wearing...yes, big dreams and hopes God has for our china princesses! She seems to like riding on Baba's shoulders and also modeling...what a cutie.

I remember also the Starbucks and how I felt like I was at "home" when we were there. You will be home soon and all together as a family. I will be praying for easy travel, although we found the trip home to be shorter (you are in the jet stream), so that helps with a little one on board! Talk to you soon!
