Linda Nai Nai's Visit

We had a wonderful visit with Linda Nai Nai (grandma).  What a special woman she is!  I feel so blessed to have the opportunity to meet and thank Linda for all she is doing and has done for the orphans we care so much about.  She also had a huge part in preparing our son for us, not to mention asking the Father to provide him a family.

We had a fun day yesterday.  Greg FuXing got to show off his new swimming skills to his Nai Nai.  That wore him out, so we went to our room for a rest and more visiting.  Last night Linda treated us to a "western" style meal at Lucy's and then we talked some more until we fell asleep. 

This morning we got up and went down to breakfast.  It was so packed that they ushered us back to another restaurant that has never been opened up for breakfast.  It was nice to be a little secluded from all the normal breakfast chaos. 

Then it was time to go to the lobby for Linda to catch her taxi to the airport.  I held it together until she drove off and then the tears started.  FuXing was concerned about me, so I tried to stop.  Once we were up to the room, he gestured/spoke, "Don't cry".  Then he gave me a big hug and I just said, "Mama ai Linda nai nai" (Mommy loves grandma Linda).  He said, "ok" which is his way of saying it's all good.

He is now busy with his legos again.  He got a new plane yesterday (they are so inexpensive here compared to home). 

We love our sweet boy, and we know that many others in this big world do too.  We are so thankful for all that have loved him in our place.  Such a difference it has made in his transition. 

Two more sleeps and we will be on our way home!
