We're Headed Home!

We're all shopped out and ready to come home! We the hotel tomorrow morning at 6:50 am...you'll probably be eating dinner. It'll be a long day, but we can't wait to get home to our soft beds and regular food. We are all feeling better (Sherry and Caleb were under the weather yesterday) and Maryn seems to be doing just fine! She's trying to crawl around. Yesterday she learned how to say "more" in sign language. When kids start to walk in China, their parents buy either bells for their shoes or squeaky shoes. We opted for the adorable and quite fashionable squeaky shoes. Today she was standing holding on to my arms and I showed her how the shoes squeak. She then started jumping just to hear her shoes! It was quite cute, though Rich thinks the squeaks will get old quickly. I suppose she won't be able to sneak out of church with those shoes! :) Anyway, we look forward to seeing everyone and having you meet Maryn!

Have a safe trip home! I think the bells/squeaky shoes are a great idea. She'll have to wear them to church so we can all hear her coming.
