shopping in changsha
it's nap time. i'm blogging. just got back from shopping again. we hit the wal-marts (that's how they say it in hays, don't you know. but in china they call it war-mart, no joke. and the name is fitting) and the mall that surrounds it. the war-mart is on the second floor of a mall. then we crossed over to another building and ate at mcdonalds. so there are more pictures of our hotel, chinese mcdonalds, and from the massage trip last night.
nothing incredibly profound but still fun. this hotel is really great. it's a home away from home and i'm somewhat dreading having to move. but, just more adventure. found out this morning that though joy absolutely despises baths, with a passion. can't emphasize it enough. she's ok in the shower. at least with me. so, at the very least my daughter won't be the stinky one in class. once we get home i think her and the boy will have a blast together splashing.
this girl is so much fun. she loves to laugh - it's more of a wide eyed, whole face, toothless grunt. but it's good.
more later. hopefully one more post before we hit guangzhou but don't be surprised if you don't hear anything new until saturday night our time which is saturday morning yours. thanks for all the comments! it's great to hear from everyone. and i love that we'll have this to look back on in the years to come.
much love.

Jaker! So glad you've been able to post so much- you blew the other Hays China boys out of the water. (No offense, guys!) Pics are great, love you all
Wait till Isaac sees Joy. She's just getting used to you guys and then she'll meet her older brother. I think it will be awesome when Isaac sees that what you were telling him about getting Joy really happened. He's going to be a good brother! (Keep up the posts!)
Love,
Michael
Hi Guys... i just want to say I love you and admire your compassion, sacrifice, and love for others. What an incredible journey in life. I can't wait to see you all. Isaac is doing good with Auntie Em and Uncle Randy. He named our new shark "Willy"! It's been really fun having him around. Good birth control! :) He get's to hang out with Auntie Em tonight while Grandma BEW and PA get to go on a date! Anyways, we are praying for you and love and miss you all.

I can't stand it! I've been basking in the joy of reading about JOY and I have to write to you and say we're so proud of you both. Amy, you're nearly like my own daughter and to see you in China bringing home your new daughter is very moving, very touching. Jake, your accounts have been wonderful and the pictures, very telling. Leah has your link now and is also following your adventures! Love you all, Aunt Kissie (Marcia)
