Hi all, sorry it's taken us so long to post. We don't have our own computer and it has not been that convenient to post here! The last two days have been very busy, but we have seen lots of sights in Beijing. One of the highlights, yesterday was our guide took us to the Hutong village in Beijing where we toured a school, that just happened to be an oral deaf school. We both felt like this was not just a coincidence. At the school we met two beautiful children-a boy and a girl that had cochlear implants! They were adorable and spoke like any other child their age. The little boy even sang our group a little song. We will post this later when we can download it to you.

Kelley and I really appreciate all of your comments. Please feel free to keep them coming. We have had trouble at times responding to them and even viewing them because of the computer situation. We will get it together soon we hope! Tomorrow we fly to the province where Marygrace lives(Hunan) and we will meet her the following day!!!

Hi to the boys and grandparents. We love you guys and can't wait to see our little girl and show her to all of you. We will catch you all later.

Love,
Scott and Kelley

Thank you for having this blog. We never get much chance to visit with you at church so I am glad to keep in touch this way and we can offer support during this time. The slide show is really neat. You have seen so much already. Marygrace is a beautiful girl. I pray she will be happy to go with you. Do you get much time to bond with her before you take her or does she just go with you right away? You are so courageous to do this. Best wishes and our prayers go with you, Marygrace, and your family.

Hi! my sleeping beauties, It's about 4:45 AM your time. You're now one day closer to meeting our new little girl. This is so much fun going up on the blog to see you and the places you have been. I've had two excellent days with the boys, not sure about today. Andrew is having one of his days, you know Andrew being Andrew. He had plenty of sleep last night too. Josh's team lost their soccer game 0-2 and Andrew's team won 4-0. Andrew scored a goal. Right now everyone is outside the house is so so so quiet. We planned out our dinner and in alittle while we'll
go to the store. Were having root beer floats for dessert.Hum! Hum!
Love you both, Mom

Hi Kelley and Scott! We are so excited for you! As you go on your journey, I keep having this wonderful image of how God seeks after us and brings us to Himself to make us part of His family, taking us from darkness into light and life. What a beautiful example of this you are living out. We eagerly await more news. Your kids looked great and so excited at school--Mr. Seafield seemed to have everything under control. Enjoy!!! Love, Amy Pic

Scott and Kelley,
Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful time with everyone. I just get goosebumps thinking that you only have one more day before you meet your little girl! I'll be thinking about you and checking your blog everyday. Having adopted grandchildren of my own, I can also get excited for YOUR parents at this time. Good luck - Happy (really happy) Mother's Day

We're SO excited for you guys! Reading your blog and seeing your pictures brings tears to my eyes, and such memories of our trip to pick up Sheehan. We're praying for you both and for Marygrace. Sheehan is very excited to meet his new friend from China!

Hello again! I'm about to call it a night here, but I forgot to tell something. Friday night after Matt's practice he went over to St. Peter's for the CYCLE Party. When I went back to get him a 8:30 PM they were all in the gym where a concert was going on. I spot Matt up in the balcony with his friends. They were having a good old time jumping up and down and singing to the music. It was very cute. Good night my darlings. Love you. Mom
