3 Week Anniversary


Well all the little Peacocks are settled into bed hopefully dreaming sweet dreams! We have had a full month this past month. I am so sorry I haven't been posting much lately it has taken this long to get over jetlag, get adjusted with our new little one, and mourning the loss of our wonderful Pepaw.

I want to give you a trip down memory lane of our trip to China and our last 3 weeks with Khloe:

We arrived in Beijing around 10pm on 9/7/12. We were so tired, but tried to rest the first part of the flight and stay up the last part so we would be ready to go to bed when we got to our hotel. China is exactly 12 hours ahead of us.

We spent the first three days acclimating to the time change by being very busy!! They took us to the Great Wall at the Juyong Pass, the Summer Palace, Tiennamen Square, the Forbidden City, and a charming Tea House. Sunday we got to go to a wonderful Christian church service!! It was amazing seeing people from many nationalities praising the only true God. I sat by a beautiful teenage girl, most likely Korean. I couldn't help but think this will be my girl standing by me in church  in 11 years. Very humbling and yet makes me realize how fortunate I am, when I can worship God in this communist country but Chinese nationals can not. Our first chance to take Khloe to church will be something she could have never done in China.
