Jade Factory

On the bus signing...


The internet was down this morning so I couldn't send Emma my email to blog. It is now 3:45 pm. We just returned from the Great Wall and lunch. We also went to the Jade factory where many Chinese girls fell in love with Jace. Again it was VERY hot, so I didn't walk the wall much at all. After yesterday's episode I was petrified to be outside too long. Anyway, we enjoyed it. I would love to send a lot of pictures, but with me having to send everything to Emma, the pictures must be sent individually and it takes way too long.


Jace is getting more and more comfortable with us. He is getting more and more freedom, so of course he is testing the waters. Even so, he is completely adorable and so well behaved! He loves to learn signs and mimics everything.


Today he fell asleep in my lap on the bus. I was watching him sleep so peacefully. His lips full, his cheeks flushed--my heart ached for him knowing his mom left him in the middle of a hospital, wandering around alone. How could she do that? How could she set him down and walk away? I cannot even comprehend such cruelty. I know he once laid at her breast, sleeping so peacefully--so sound. What makes a mom do such a wretched thing? I love him so much. I thank God throughout the day for him and for ALL my children. I can't imagine--I never WANT to imagine my life without them.


Thanks again for the encouragement. I wish I could respond to everyone!!!
