Our home away from home for Christmas
An Olympic mascot lights up the night
The Christmas tree at the White Swan
The streets are lined with shops that cater to adopting families
The chapel at Shamian Island
With Christmas over, the White Swan prepared to ring in the western New Year
The central shopping district drew thousands of young Chinese
Night falls along the streets we walked for two weeks
The nearby park was well kept and made for a pleasant stroll each day
The Pearl River was lit up for Christmas Eve
The upcoming Olympic games are a source of national pride and excitement
This kind clerk took an interest in Jen
In a sea of dark hair, can someone please find my wife?
A ministry uses the proceeds of this shop to support orphans and disabled children
One very happy father and one very giggly girl (Yun Tai Gardens)
Horse and swallow statue (tribute to the Han Dynasty)
The workaday world of Guangzhou
The memorial hall built to honor Sun Yat Sen
Red lanterns and decorations
The beautiful atrium of the White Swan hotel
Pizza delivery with a twist
Statues in the park on Shamian Island
We arrived home to find our yard raked by friends and neighbors, a beautiful ribbon and wind chime to welcome Jen home and a panda bear for her. We felt so blessed!

Steven and Kristy, we enjoyed the pictures and Jen is such a cutie !What a joy to go along with you to China and back safely with your precious gift "Made in China" ! Steven, your words have always been so special to us and we will always cherish seeing them in print like this. The thoughts from your and Kristy's hearts show the love for your child that can only be given by our Lord. God is love and that love for Jen will grow each day of your lives; may God bless all three of you. We love you and look forward to hugs and giggles !M.J.M and D.D.P
