THE GRASSLANDS


We had a much better night last night. Mia seems to be improving, but is still somewhat sick. I stayed in the hotel with her while Nathan and Lexi went to the grasslands. Our day was spent reading books, singing songs, cuddling, and naptime for both of us! I kept trying to get her to say mama and it became a game. She was playing hard to get and has quite a sense of humor!

Nathan and Lexi seemed to enjoy the grasslands. Unfortunately, their trip was cut short due to a sandstorm. Our guide said they get sandstorms here about 2-3 times a year. We are just posting pictures from the grasslands today. We will post a lot of pictures of Mia next time. Tomorrow we are flying to Guangzhou. We are excited to be starting the last leg of our trip to bring Mia home. It should be warmer and more westernized there. We are really starting to miss home and especially Westin!

I just want to say thank you to all our family and friends for their prayers and e-mails. We really appreciate all the support! Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas!
