Today was much better. We went to the zoo and then went our own way to enjoy some family time. It was good. She handled the day very well except for a breakdown at nap time. It was heartbreaking, just a deep sad cry. We do believe we are making headway with her and the bonding process. It is very hard to see her so sad in those moments at bed time.
Funny... watching Kevin teach our Chinese guide phrases and hearing him try to explain the meanings! Elvin now knows "redneck", "I'm eyeballing you," and "blowing your mind."
A few more things about Mia... we took her swimming and she loved it! This was probably her first time in a pool. The pool is beautiful here at the White Swan and it was a great break from the intense heat. Wish I had pictures of it - but the camera batteries are dead AGAIN! Her eating has slowed down now. I think she knows that we will always have food for her and she doesn't need to eat as much as she can whenever she is offered food. She doesn't care for sippy cups, just whatever we are drinking from is fine with her!

Hey ya'll,
Like everyone else... we are addicted to this blog. I can't tell you how many times a day we check it for new info. McKenzie and Cameron are so excited. They are counting down the days until you get home with Mia. Yesterday they were picking out names for the child they hope we can adopt someday. We are asking God to give you strength, encourgement, joy and peace. Remember...I can do all things through him who strengthens me. Philippians 4:13
Love ya,
The Howards
Hey guys! Love the pictures. Woke up this morning and thought only 2 more days until you are back home. Only 2 more days until you can have a true American Meal! Until then, I am praying for a safe return and a comfortable trip home with Mia. We can't wait to see you!
Love ya,
Chad, Pam, Chloe, Charley Anne
Kevin & Bridget,
What a great time you guys are having! Mia is a very lucky little girl. I'm praying for a safe return home and I know you can't wait to get home and start your life together. All the King's in one house.
In his love,
Darlene Dodd
