I Want Candy
I finally found what Timothy repeats over and over. He says, "I want to eat candy." He is the biggest sugar addict I have ever seen!
Today we had his medical exam for the emigration paperwork. It went well and the doctor even says that his repair was better than most she has seen. We will still have him evaluated when we get home though. He weighs 29.4 pounds and is 35.25 inches tall. After the exam, we spent several hours shopping. We had a nice lunch on Shamian Island and then spent the rest of the day at the hotel. We ordered dinner from Danny's Bagels. Danny is a New Yorker who opened a restaurant for the US crowd who need a home cooking fix. It is not quite home, but it is close.
Tomorrow is a completely free day. We are supposed to stay in our rooms from 9:30-10:30 in case the consulate has any questions about our paperwork. We plan to return to Shamian Island to pick up a purchase I made. We might have lunch at the same restaurant because it was excellent.
Timothy found pillow fights absolutely hilarious this afternoon. He knows which room is ours when we get off the elevator. He will be good pals with Emily as he loved playing with the doctor's stethoscope. It was really laid back today, so not much else to report.
Oh, we found out something interesting today. There is a couple here adopting in our group that are just so sweet. Someone else told me to google the husband's name. His name is Billy Foote. So, I googled him and found out that he and his wife are Christian music performers and he has written several of the praise and worship songs that we sing! They are so humble and have not talked about their profession at all that I have heard. Wow!
More tomorrow. We can't wait to be home!!!!!

Bob McEachern here. Great stories and blog. Made me cry. How special all of this is. If Billy Foote is about my age and his wife is Winky, then we were in college with them. Also, have a funny story about them. If they are younger, it may be his son.

Hello again Honey!
Hope you found the picture you were looking for a few minutes ago. I went in and worked on cleaning the kitchen while you were at it. Kids are all asleep since 2130, and I plan to be also soon. Woke up this a.m. at 0400 and couldn't go back to sleep. Had some good devotion and prayer time. I am sooooo amazed and happy over Joann Akers getting baptized and at least being able to articulate the plan of salvation. Can't wait to see you soon My Love. Yours always, C.
