This time tomorrow we will be sitting on a flight to Seoul Korea! China has found a new place in my heart, but I am ready to come home! Today we spent the day hanging around the hotel and its surrounding area. We went walking in the beautiful gardens that are the center of the hotel. Cherry Blossom was still not a fan of the fish or statues so not many pictures were allowed to be taken. I did catch a couple of pics when she was pointing at the fish though!
Our little girl is growing up right before our eyes. We see more of her personality every day! We were excited to see at her medical appointment that she had gained two pounds since our last update so she is now a whopping 24 pounds! She is still very tiny for her age and many people refer to as an infant or baby, but she will gain some weight once she reaches our house!
One of my favorite times of the day is when she wakes up in the morning or from a nap. She just puts her arms around my neck and snuggles into my neck. She is such an active little girl that we rarely get hugs during the day. We still get plenty of kisses though! She continues to mimic things we say. Yesterday she was playing with her Baba and he was counting her stacking balls and she was counting right after him. She got all the way to 10! She also likes us to make noises when we dress her or change her diaper. She always has a smile on her face when one of us is playing with her. She is also adamantly independent at times and gets frustrated when she can't climb up onto the couch or a chair on her own. She is an almost 3 year old with the body of 1 and half year old but is strong willed!
I cannot wait to walk off that plane tomorrow night! We are so blessed to have friends and family coming to meet us at the airport. We are flying in from Atlanta on Delta flight 1709 arriving at 9:56. I believe that people are going to wait outside of security instead of baggage claim. Just as a reminder, we will be so happy to see you but please give Cherry Blossom her space. She is probably going to be irritable and tired. Please do not try to take her out of our arms, we are still working on her bonding with us and knowing that we are mama and baba. Hopefully she will be the joyful little girl you see in the pictures and will be waving and blowing kisses at everyone. A mama can hope :) We are praying that she falls asleep for most of the flight!
One more sleep until we are home!
Pure and genuine religion in the sight of God the Father means caring for orphans and widows in their distress and refusing to let the world corrupt you. James 1:27
Hold on, to me as we go. As we roll down this unfamiliar road. And although this wave is stringing us along. Just know you’re not alone, cause I’m going to make this place your home. Settle down, it'll all be clear. Don't pay no mind to the demons, they fill you with fear. The trouble it might drag you down. If you get lost, you can always be found. Just know you’re not alone,cause I’m going to make this place your home.
