The 3 Amigos prepared for take off in our first taxi ride. Hey, all's I'm saying is "what happens in Nanning, stays in Nanning."
On the way to pick up our girls. Becky is trying to brush up on her Mandarin...which later did no good because their daughter speaks Cantonese! These are the little things that you don't know until you get to China.
Entering the hotel where we would be united with our daughters - the excitement level is high!
Moments before meeting Bethany. I captured how they are.....Becky is sweet & funny and Dan is hilarious with LOTS of one liners
First glimpse of their daughter Bethany with her nanny. This is my favorite picture of their moment. You can see both of their emotions and I tear up every time I look at it. Their daughter just turned 3 and was really reserved at first about the whole thing. She is smart, cute and loves to shop....sounds like a perfect little girl to me. She has been having a hard time at bed-time...break your heart stuff.....but I didn't hear any crying last night so I am excited to hear this morning about her breakthrough. I tell you, I have shed more tears watching these older children 3-7 be united with their family. It's much harder for them and you can see them trying to connect and it is such a reward to see them smiling and laughing after seeing them so sad. Dan & Becky have 3 young strapping sons at home who are eager to meet their new sister.
Dan, Bethany & I climbed the pagoda as our spouses decided to sit this one out. I thought it was a sweet moment of the 2 of them
