Photo Frenzy

 Here are a couple of words to set the stage for viewing these photos...
  • The past two days have flown by and Fei is transitioning from mostly scared to cautious, followed by scared to curious, ...this is a weird family and can you imagine getting full access...that is a scary thought.
  • We are mixing in play time, eating, and official government meetings where we could not remember how old we are (literally!).....it is a really hard question when you have been celebrating your 29th birthday for over a decade :)
  • These are amateur photos, in fact many of them taken by children 10 and under :)
  • We are all in awe and enjoying the authenticity of the situation; it has made it hard to remotely capture the entirety of the experience. We look forward to our conversations over a bowl of ice cream.
  • We are still awaiting other camera downloads and want more grandparent shots!  Hope to have them tomorrow.
Mom & TJ calming Fei at "Gotcha" time...what a powerful time
 
Hanging with Ellie & TJ...lookout world, here we come
 
Holding on to Owen's finger for comfort as we venture out over 5 ft from mom & dad
 
Delivery anyone?
 
On the way to the hotel for the first time...never been out of the orphanage except to the hospital...gets car sick like the rest of the St.Clair girls.
 
Ice Cream...no problem...a little bird told me there is usually a flavor or two or three
 in my forever freezer :)
 
Out exploring Shamian Island with the entire family...9 St.Clair/Urbans exploring...
your imagination will work well here :) 
 
We are truly in awe that it has been a mere 30 hours with Fei Isabella...overcoming challenges and making steady gains, many questions and answers slowly being revealed...all while experiencing a peace, contentment and true amazement as His plan unfolds before our eyes!
