10:30 pm Ohio Time
We are home in Ohio and finally getting our days/nights turned back around. The flight home was long and stressful on us, but Maggie Jo did a fine job of sleeping/eating/playing on the way home. Tomorrow (Saturday) we will show her off to friends and family as my parents are having a party that 200 people usually attend. It is called a POW WOW after the American Indian custom of getting together for food and fellowship.We had an awesome trip to China. Our coordinator Tracy X (Xia Hongtu) was a fantastic leader, paperwork pusher, and even Lioness! Her actions made us all feel confident we would have successful outcomes. She put herself in front of all problems for us. I nearly cried saying good bye to her at the airport. It always comes so suddenly and we are in the "get through security and on the plane" mode, and I wish I could have taken more time to thank Tracy X properly. THANK YOU just seems so inadequate for the efforts she extended on all our behalf.
Maggie Jo is learning to love her brothers and Lili every day. They actually get along wonderfully well already. Lili started wanting her milk in a baby bottle the first day, but after I filled it with baby formula, she stopped that habit! She is very protective of her little sister Maggie Jo. She pronounces her name loudly and clearly and even tells anyone who will listen "She is from China and so is Lili!". China must seem like heaven to her, as it is this mystical place that mom and dad go for babies! I will start editing the Video Tape I shot next week. My goal is to have it back to all the group members by Thanksgiving. I will be updating the website with extra pictures over the next few days, so check it out at http://www.cabincam.net/china.htmlOnce again we had a fantastic trip to China and back. We loved having Tracy X as our coordinator for the second time, and we thank her, all the people of China we came in contact with (except one) from the bottom of our hearts. I pray that life in China gets easier each passing month for the people of China. I have a feeling that we will be back before they all forget us. I love living in the United States of America, but China has taken a part of my heart and won't let go. It is a good part too!
God Bless you All,Scott & Tracy Davis and family
