Just a little addition to the earlier post today. The temper continued to come out today. I think Emelia is testing the waters and it had been rough on all of us. I wanted to ask you all to continue to pray for us. I know this will pass but it is rough while it lasts. A two year old can be trying no matter what and Emelia has had so much in her short time. She has also given us her best laughs today. After bath time Evelyn was tired and hugged on me. Emelia immediately reached for me and there I was with both girls in my lap. That was a nice first. : )
As far as developmentally I can't tell what level she is at due to the language barrier but if she sees something once she immediately picks up on it. Tonight after I got her out of the tub, she went right to the drawer where the hair dryer is for me to dry her hair. That was after using it once before. Tomorrow our guide is taking us to the local zoo. That should be interesting.

You're in my prayers....I am positive that this too shall pass! I can't wait to hear about the zoo trip. Emelia and Evelyn are going to have a blast!

Hey Alicia,

Love all those pictures! Wow... what a fun time you have! Don't worry about the temper... we all go through that, but you are certainly in our prayers. I told my missionary friend today that you are in China with your daughters and your hubby! Hugs and kisses to the girls........

Scott & Alicia - I remember the temper and strong will that Hanna had when we were in China.It was tough and at the end of the day after we finally got her to sleep I was exhausted. Hang in there, and remember the higher purpose that you expierencing God's will. My prayers for all of you will continue.
