We Made It!!!



Praise the Lord! We made it to China!
We are so thankful to be here in Nanning.
It is such a beautiful place.
Everything is so nice and clean.
This is a picture of our hotel.
It is at night, so it isn't that great of a picture,
but it is really nice!
The one problem is the air conditioning here isn't that great.
We are definitely spoiled in America.
We went to Wal-Mart today (Steph and HG's favorite
place!) and we bought a fan.
It really helps. In case you didn't know,
I am very hot natured
and so is HG. She was sweating most of the day.


This is a bridge that we crossed in Shanghai. It
was pretty cool.

Our flight was very long yesterday, but HG did awesome.
She never complained about one thing.
She is such a blessing.
We are still trying to recover from the jet lag.
It just takes a few days to get adjusted!!
It is so hard to believe that we are about
16 hours away from getting our little girl.
We will be getting her tomorrow (Monday)
at 3pm (2am Alabama time).
We are so blessed to have this privalege to
adopt from China.
HG has been such a tremendous blessing to us and
we are so excited about the addition of Sarah Hope to our family.
We can't believe that we are about to have two children.
That is so exciting!!!
I am just praying that Steph and
I can be the Christian parents that God would have us to be.
I pray that we will raise them right and continuously
teach them about God's love for them
It is so easy to get caught up in the adoption process
and our busy lives and forget about the most important thing
that we have in our lives - Jesus Christ
I am so thankful that we have a Risen Savior
and I celebrate that with you on this Easter Sunday.
Happy Easter to everyone!


The street outside our hotel! A lot of the buildings here have
neon lights on them. It is beautiful at night!!



HG in the van on the way from one airport to another in Shanghai.Our plane landed at a large airport in Shanghai and we had tor ride about45 minutes to a smaller airport to fly to Nanning. HG is so excited to be getting her new sister!!! And so are her parents (in case you didn't know)!

Greg and Stephanie,

We are so thrilled that you have two Chinese Treasures now! We are sure Hannah Grace is excited about having a sister.

May the Lord richly bless your time in China as you enjoy getting acquainted with
Sarah Hope!
