video minute from July 22... jacob & ahna

Good morning, friends and family! (morning to you, anyway.)

Check out this short but sweet video from yesterday. Today hasn't been as much fun for Ahna, but we know that many happy days are ahead.

Hope this works!!
(Oh, well.... it doesn't work!) So sorry! Bill is out for a trip to McDonald's with the boys, but as soon as he's in I'll have him fix this. Might wanna say a prayer for them; they headed out with their handy-dandy Mandarin phrase book, and were taking a taxi to McDonald's. You don't even WANT to know about Nanchang traffic laws..... oh yeah, there are none. :-) Anyway, they could be in another Chinese province for all I know.

But then again, isn't "McDonald's" a universal word?

That is the most precious thing! Jacob is a natural with this new baby thing! Ahna has the cutest giggles. I come on your blogs first thing every morning on pins and needles waiting until the very second you post so I can share in your journey. Sorry to hear the family has had a couple of illnesses. Cindi I hope you and Bill are getting better and stronger. I pray to God every night for your safety and new journey to which you are traveling. I am thrilled for you all. The boys are so handsome. I bet you have to beat the little girls off them.(not that they neccesarily want you to) Thanks again for taking us along. Hope the guys made it back from Mickie Dees!! Love to all.........waiting for more blogs and pics.

That is just the sweetest little voice I have ever heard! Isn't it great that she will have so many entertainers!

Hope the boys found their destination, McDonalds! The food still has a Chinese spin on it. :) Hope you are having better days now.

Hi Cindi and Bill !
This video is so cute. It's so lovely to hear Ahna's sweet voice. Hold on, you will be home soon.

Oh, Macy Li might have a little competition when Joshua gets there and meets everyone. That's quite a giggle!

Amber said...

She is precious! What a sweet little laugh she has. I am sure that it was music to your ears to hear laughter after her many tears. I have a feeling she is going to adore her big brothers and they are going to have a huge soft spot for their little sister!

It has been such a joy to see your journey thus far! Thank you for taking the time and energy to share your hearts and photos amidst the crazy long days. :)
