My Little Emperor....



My Little Emperor....

Ah...The Red Couch picture! I never thought I'd get this far in the process! Whew! It's been a long year, but SO worth the wait. I've seen many families throughout their journey on that red couch. And here we are! Finally!

Jace loves his Chinese threads...He wears them with honor. Most of the pictures you see him flexing...pretty funny. Guess who taught him that?--Daddy via skype.

Click here or copy and paste to see the rest of the pictures...: http://www.dropshots.com/shannonpierro#date/2010-08-03/05:03:17 Scroll down to see the latest pics.

The waterfall is in the middle of the hotel. There are many coy below. It's so beautiful.

See you Soon,
Shannon

Tuesday Morning 8/3


Jace is napping so I thought I'd catch you all up..

He was VERY warm last night after receiving 3 shots. I gave him Motrin to ward off the fever so he is much better this morning after breakfast and some swimming. I put him down early for a nap because today is the famous 'red couch' picture at 3pm. I think this will help him feel more like himself. Thanks for all praying! He is so sweet. He curls up next to me (with all his toys between us) in bed and kisses me at least 5 times before he finally falls asleep. How cute is that?? Melting heart here....

Nothing else really to report other than we only have 3 more days! I can't wait for everyone to meet Jace. I wish we were flying in to BWI.

After the picture our group is headed to the Six-Banyan Temple. Alex, Jace and me will skip that and head back to the pool. It is such a great bonding experience for us! He really loves it. Then, dinner at 6pm.

love and hugs xo,
Shannon

Medical Exam

click here: http://www.dropshots.com/shannonpierro#date/2010-08-01/11:25:41 and scroll down for the medical pictures. The one where I am holding him is where he got the shots. He had no idea. He flirted with every nurse, played with every dr. What a charmer he is!








3 shots!! That's all he got! YAY! Thanks for the prayers! I know Karen V. said she had her gang praying too~~if your reading this and you prayed for my Jace~~I thank you! Please pray fro him NOT to have a fever--or at least be unaffected by it....


But today, he was fine! His feelings were hurt, but he stopped crying quickly. Thank God for my travel families--they are so sweet and compassionate! Even the two families that joined us in Guangzhou look out for us! We are a family in itself here. It's amazing how perfect strangers become so close after sharing such a unique and emotional experience. I am happy to report that we are finally finishd with fee thing! Whew! I hated carrying around all that cash and worrying how much I was spending...not that i wanted to pay for anything...;)


After we got back form the shots, we stopped at a store called 'Jordan's'. IT's here on the square. If you are coming to Guangzhou, please go there for CHinese outfits, etc. I only paid $7 for each one and the owner is a Christian. He is happy to meet other Christians. He will make a calligraphy of your child's American name for free!!! He asks you as soon as you walk in the door if you want one. He is happy to do it. He is a delight.


Shortly after the walk, we went back to the pool. Jace is napping now from all that activity and needle trama. We are supposed to meet in 10 minutes for the pedestrian street. I am dying to go, but he is sleeping so peacefully...waaa......Plus, his lunch is waiting for him.


Updates tomorrow!!


4 more days!!!!!
Love,
Shannon
