Update

Well just to give some updates on things you all have been praying for:

1. Lia is really doing great without us. My mom said she hasn't talked about missing us once so that makes me feel good to know that she's enjoying being with my mom so much. And all our friends from home have been so great about having her over to play (and to give my mom a break) that I don't think she's had too much time to miss us. She knows she has seven days till we get home because she's been counting down her presents! And we've been pretty busy with Chloe and we've been talking with Lia via video Skype at least once a day, sometimes two times. So we're not missing her too badly either. Definitely an answer to everyone's prayers!!

2. We leave the Chongqing area tomorrow and so far there have been no earthquakes or natural hazards of any kind : ) Supposedly there was a typhoon going by the Guangzhou area but apparently it should be past by the time we get there.

3. We have all been feeling well. The pollution hasn't been bothering us like it did on our first trip. Bill had a bit of a sore throat for a couple of days, but all in all, he's been feeling pretty good. His bad cough cleared up before we left so that prayer was answered too.

4. The babies have been very healthy! Chloe has a tiny bit of a stuffy nose but that's it. When we got Lia she had brochitis and a viral rash so we are grateful not to have to deal with all that again!

We are so grateful to know that we have so many family and friends that are upholding us in your prayers. Thank you for doing that for us!!
