We made it! We fly out in the morning and feel ready. We went back to the Pearl Market today and were better prepared for the aggressive salespeople. Mind you, these are sweet little Asian girls who run these booths and grab you by the arm. If you make a low offer, they'll say dramatically, "You're killing me, you're killing me...." It's quite a show! We went back to the fun park with the ball pit today but all Jodi wanted to do was go fishing. She was very pleased with herself when she caught a little fish in the inflatable pool! We also included a picture of her unique napping style. She resists lying down so she falls asleep leaning against the chair and then Baba puts her in the bed. What a character!
We've included a few last shots from our time in Beijing. It has been a privilege to be here. Baba and Nye Nye are playing balloon volleyball with Jodi here in the room, one of the few things we found to get out here energy!! God bless and we'll be in touch soon. Time to start packing.......:)
Congratulations! I have thoroughly enjoyed reading all of your posts about this amazing journey! It almost brings me to tears... HAPPY tears...to see the smiles that you all and Jodi share! You make such a beautiful family! You two have shown so much love to me over the years as one of your youth kids so I have no doubt that you will be the most loving parents in the world for your daughter! With lots of love and excitement for you, Jessica Allen Crisp

Absolutely awesome! Seems like you really took to the parenting roles. She is one blessed little girl, and will probably keep you both hopping for a long time to come. So happy for you all!!
