Nanny framed Mercy!!!!


Got an email from Nanny Allen and she told us that she had Mercy "framed". She found this cute little frame and put her in it. I think Nanny is excited about meeting her new little granddaughter. The only one in the Allen family. Mercy will be a great new addition to the grandsons already!!!! Big cousin Jason and Ben will have to get used to having a little girl cousin in Canada!!!!




Got a great pile of clothes from Auntie Kathleen from Mercy's little cousin Katie. Thanks Katie. Mercy will be sure to show them all off!!! Auntie Kathleen has great taste in clothes!!!! Mercy is getting quite a wardrobe already!!! Just like her mom!!!!

Travel Meeting

Well it's been a while since I entered on my blog. So much to do lately and things to look after before we go.


We had a great visit with our travel group today in Toronto for our travel meeting. It was a very informative couple of hours. We had special guests who brought their son "Justin" who was just a little cutie and very smart. Quite the little boy. He was a Fuling kid. I see why they say that Fuling Kids are Great!!! So impressive. Lisa his mom gave us a good insight into the trip and some tips on things to take and see when we are in China. We had a lot of information given to us about the trip and also were surprised to learn that we fly to Chongqing in the morning on Sunday, July 8 and get our babies that afternoon. So soon!! We get to stay in Chongqing and do things and we are hoping to get a visit to the orphanage, which has to be confirmed yet. We are even going to be staying at a Holiday Inn!!!



We will be privileged to see places in Beijing like the Summer Palace, Tianamen Square and the Forbidden City, and of course the Great Wall. We will get to go shopping at different jewellry factories and see other places of interest along the way. Sounds like a great trip overall. We are praying that all the adults and children stay healthy and are able to stay cool through this trip. I heard about some UV umbrellas that you can buy when there to keep the heat off!! Count me in!!!! Don't like to get too much sun. Gotta take sun screen for us and little one while we are there. Don't want little Mercy suffering either.


Our travel date is July 3 to July 20. We will be home on the Friday night. We are going a couple days early to Beijing to get over jet lag etc. and scout out the area. Maybe we will even see an Acrobats show there.


Hope to post a pic of our travel group later on my blog.
