It's hard to explain how much you miss certain things while you are in a different part of the world. It goes far beyond your bed, your home, your family and your things. In China they use "squat" toilets when you are out in public areas and have NO toilet paper in them so you don't want to forget your Kleenex, lol!! The food is VERY different, smells, language and even something as simple as your morning coffee is not the same. That being said it is truly an amazing country and we have been fortunate to see it not once but twice. The wall, the culture it is just so much to take in. We had an amazing time and a group of travel mates that were like no other, well except 177/178, lol!!! We made some very near and dear friends and Sophia really took to several of the babies. We spent a lot of time with Lacey, Santana and Meghan and Sophia even met a new friend, Renee and Olivia late in the trip. She became so comfortable with Lacey that she started to even mock her by times. Needless to say the parents all got a big laugh at this!
We would like to take this time to say thanks to everyone who followed our journey. We know that many people had difficulty posting but were there with us every step of the way!! And to Nanny, Grampie, Austin and Marielle for keeping Jenna busy the first leg of our trip and to Grammie and Grampie for coming home from Florida to be with Jenna the second leg!! Auntie M and Uncle M for coming up early and pitching in....AND for the Cinderella sleep over!!! And to all those who braved the storm to come and meet us at the airport and those who visited at the house over the weekend. We are truly surrounded by wonderful people and Sophia and Jenna are VERY lucky to have each of you in their lives. I have MANY pictures to post but have to transfer them from my Dad's camera onto my computer so I will do a picture marathon as soon as I get them :)
We would lastly like to thank the members of Group 253, especially our "hall mates" for a great trip and to Children;s Bridge and Chia, you were awesome!!
