A dear friend of mine is in China now with her family completeing the long journey to their little daughter, Ahna who is 13 months old. As they have been in the throes of this journey it has brought back the very sweet memories of our own journey to bring Emma-leah home. We have been home for 15 months and our little one is now 3 1/2 years old, how dare she grow up!! The memories are inscribed on my mind with hopes of sharing those memories with our daughter when she is at an age to listen and hopefully embrace her beginnings. That may not be as easy as it sounds, but with much prayer we will tell her of her meek beginnings and of a country so full of history and color and smell. Here are a few photos I have not posted. They are the very heart and soul of China.
Mom and baby in a sweet basket backpack.
A grandmother and her grandson walk hand and hand, not unlike the families today in America.
A shop keeper on the street selling her wares and food. The people were so gracious.
Two little girls heading to school.
one of many shrines on the roadside.
