On Sunday night after dinner the incomplete Blake family traveled down to the river Ghuangzhou is built around. The group of adopties were taking a cruise down the river. All along the river are tall beautiful buildings like ou would find in NYC except all of these are lit up with neons instead of soft lights. The cruise was about and hour and a half and absoulutely beautiful. The weater was gorgeous and there was a very stiff breeze.
So far Julie has adapted well although i think the crazy routine has gotten her grumpy. She's been talking more and clapping her hands very well. God has truely blessed our family. Thank you for all your prayers durin this transition.

Thanks for sharing about your experiences travelling to China, meeting and adopting Julie, and all that you're learning in this process. We are very excited and rejoicing with you at what the Lord is doing! We keep you all in our prayers, and look forward to welcoming Julie when you all come back! Sara and Kevitt
I WANT TO HOLD JULIE!!!!
And you had better come home soon because Alex and I both agree that our GPAs are slipping for lack of motivation.
:)
Love you all!
Joe and Sue,
She's beautiful. We can't wait to see her in person. We have been praying for you as you get used to Julie and she to you.

Good morning/evening!
I love the pictures - esp. of Joe spi*l*ting! The blog is a great diary of your time in China - it's become a daily event for Jackson and Maggie to read with mommy!
Julie is precious and we can't wait to meet her in person!
The shower was great - Julie is going to be quite the fashionista! I left a CD in your mailbox with photos from the shower.
Be safe and enjoy! We are praying for your family in China and Lafayette!

I hope you can replenish your peanut butter/crackers.........NO more meat of any kind no matter what they tell you it is:) It's hard to believe that you have another week almost:(
Selfishly - it would be good if Trevor came home before the grass regrows to jungle length. I think today will be the last nice day this week and I got it done front & back. I'll try and check with Alex about what's going on at your house. Have fun being tourists a while longer.........later.
P.S.
Don't worry-all is well. The bald spots will grow, just like Julie's hair....
and there's only the teensyest bit of "John Deere green" on the van:)
If it's any consolation - the mailbox and the canoes are intact, and the cat seems none the worse for the wear, so to speak:)
----Just remind Courtney to put the garbage out this week!
