Daddy's turn

Well, it's my turn to share my experience and let all of you know what this trip has meant to me. Each day has been yet another victory with Ava experiencing something new at every turn. She has never felt fabrics before and is fascinated with textures, especially shinny things. Yesterday we went to a garden in Guangzhou that was the most incredible garden you can imagine. Ava was thrilled by all the colors and the fresh air. She is smiling every day now and even let out a few laughs this morning. She squints her little eyes when she smiles.

In China it is Thanksgiving day for us. How awesome is the God we serve. No matter where we go or how far he is walking with us. This experience has been such a blessing and it reminds us that we all are adopted children. God has taken us all in to His family just as we now welcome Ava into our forever home. We can't wait for all of you to see her and wish all of you a very wonderful Thanksgiving.
