Medical Exam Part 1

Dear Friends & Family,
The earthquake did not hit us. Everyone is fine. It actually hit south of where we are at but we are hearing reports that aftershocks are hitting Beijing. Please continue to pray for safety. It's all over the news here, so we figured you would wake up and hear about it. Again, we are all okay, Praise The Lord!
Today we did the medical exam for all the adopted children. It was complete chaos, but we got it done. Everyone was there at the *same time*, so it was really LOUD! After the exam, we got to do some fun shopping on Shaman Island, which is near our hotel. 
We are looking forward to coming home at the end of the week. We cannot wait to be home! Again, thanks so much for praying. It makes such a difference knowing we have such amazing prayer warriors lifting us up to our Father. Until next post...

Soooo thankful everyone is okay! Phew. And all this time I thought California was *the place* for earthquakes! Yikes. Thanks for letting us know you're all safe! Love the photos of Ty and the doctor, I'm pretty sure many of the other kids were not as easy-going as he was. When you mentioned it was LOUD as all the adopted kids were being examined, I'm going to guess it was because many kids were crying!?! Ewwww boy. But then there's Ty-Man. Just chillin! OK. Gotta get ready for work. Praying for you guys!!!

Hello Sanzas! I posted a comment on Sunday on the soup video but it is not there! But now I will say how thankful I am that you are safe in the midst of the earthquake. We have really enjoyed reading everything and look forward to having you back in Texas! Ty is adorable and I know you are going to love having him home. Belated Happy Mother's Day to Pam and hugs to all!

We're so glad that you guys are OK! They said that aftershocks were felt 900 miles away! We've just been having tornadoes around here. Can't wait to see the little man. I'm so envious. I may need to "borrow" Ty sometime to even out my own testosterone deficiency around my house. You guys be safe and enjoy. Love ya!

Frank, Kealynn really lit the stage up in Chicago. Wish you guys could have been there. She's actually thinking about quiting cheerleading and doing musical theatre full-time. I'm trying to get a copy of the dress rehearsal for you to see. Can't wait to get you guys back.

I woke up this morning to the news of the earthquake and immediately thought of you all. Glad you are all okay. It is so heartwarming to see these pictures and know that after waiting so long, Ty is finally coming home with you. Can't wait for our Ty to meet your Ty. Have a safe rest of the trip. All our love -

Dave, Florrie, Emma and Tyler

Thanks for the update, we are so glad to know you all are doing well and are safe. Don't worry about the bath thing, once yal get home Ty will learn to love it too. Be sure to shop a lot:) You only get one chance to get everything you want, unless you decide to adopt again...smile.

Take care and know that you are in our prayers.
