When they say that bonding can take some time, they were not joking! Today seemed to be the worst day yet. Just the sound of Roger's voice pushed Olivia over the edge. Bless that man! He tries and tries. He held her kicking and screaming while I got a shower this morning. While I was in the shower he thought that it might be his mustache that was the problem. So what did he do? He shaved it off! (I have never seen him without it). It was a good idea, but no such luck. Check that off the list.

We stayed in today as the bug has begun to catch a few member of our group. I seem to be getting it too. My stomach was really yucky tonight. Even rice didn't sound good.

We will get Olivia's passport tomorrow and leave for Guangzhou in the evening, so I will not post tomorrow as it will be a busy day of packing and getting to the airport and then into Guangzhou late in the evening. Once there, we are on the downhill side of our journey through China.

We both are very much ready to come home and share Olivia with you all. Papa Vince and Uncle Bob please
be prepared for the alligator face. This is the face that she gives any man who she makes eye contact with. Poor Daddy is very used to this face. I will try to get a picture of it as it is kind of funny, eyes closed, mouth wide open, and head back.

Prayers are helping greatly, please keep them coming our way!

Love from China,
RR and O

Olivia is really enjoying her new toys. She is going to be a master cup stacker by the time we get back!
