Update From Home

We are glad to be home. We missed Miranda & Ethan more than I could put into words. I think today we are finally getting over the jetlag. Faith is still on China time but is coming around. Last night she was only up for 2 hours in the middle of the night. Faith is adjusting well. She is finally allowing Darren to pick her up which has been a big help for me. She is still a little hestitant around Miranda and Ethan.

I had to take Faith to the doctor yesterday because she continued to have a yucky nose and congestion. I am glad I did. When we had the visa physical in China they checked her ears and said they looked good. Well, when we took her to the doctor yesterday she said there was so much ear wax she could not see in her ear. After the doctor cleaned her ears out she said she had a bad infection in both ears. There is no telling how long her ears have been infected or how many infections she has had. Chinese doctors are far different than our western doctors. Now, everyday I praise God we live in the United States.

The kids are waking up from their naps so I have to go. Here is a picture from our airport reunion.
