JET LAG

No need for words.

Welcome Ballons, Banner, & "Stuff"

When we arrived home there were balloons and this banner signed by friends and family. Special thanks to Rod, Joy, and especially ALEXA for hanging this welcome up. I am truly blessed to have such special people in my life. I cried when we pulled up-- to think that even though you couldn't meet us at the airport because of our delays from New Jersey-- you went out of your way at the last minute to show us love. Then when we opened our refrigerator Robbin Davison had made us fresh pasta casserole and Bobbie and Edward McDonald had stocked us up on the basic "stuff". If that wasn't enough Mark Davison had finished our back deck for us while we were gone as a present. How can we possibly repay all this kindness? I am just praising God for each and every person that He has placed in our lives at this moment in time. God is so good to us and He just keeps blessing us each day!

Hong Kong






This was our hotel in Hong Kong. Very lovely and very expensive. the last photograph is on the bus headed to the Hong Kong airport. The country side was beautiful, but I couldn't wait to get back to good 'ole Alabama.

Train Ride





This is our train ride from Guangzhou to Hong Kong. we traveled backwards. apparently Jayden did not like this he screamed the whole hour and one half trip. I'm sure he will be remember fondly by his fellow passengers. He has GREAT lungs. ha-ha

More pictures of the Pearl River at night





Pearl river cruise






The last night we were in Guangzhou we cruised the Pearl River. The lights were beautiful and Jayden loved it! I guess he's going to be ready for Coosa River fishing this summer.

GREETINGS FROM CHILDERSBURG ALABAMA

This is what jet lag looks like!!!! ha-ha
Well, we made it back to Birmingham Thursday morning a little after midnight. After a little sleep we went to Payton's ball practice. Jayden met a lot of his new family there. I will be uploading the pictures of the Pearl River Cruise this week. I apologize for the delay but the jet lag really hit me after we arrived home. and we have had a lot of company. Jayden and I are struggling to adjust to the time change. We did manage to attend church yesterday...I was in a fog. Jayden made his first trip to the nursing home to visit my mother today. He loved on everyone there. Praise God that he entrusted us with such a loving and sweet boy. I will post more later with pictures. Terri
