Day 14: Red Couch Picture

The Red Couch Picture


Today is our last day in China. It is a tradition for the children to have a group picture on the red couch at the White Swan Hotel. Well it was a challenge to get all these babies on the couch, but we did it. Leanne is the one on the back row on the left. She was one of the crying babies, but you can see why in the below picture.


Leanne and Ally on the red couch.

We fly out in about 10 hours for home. We should arrive at the Nashville airport around 5:30 PM on Wed. night. Thanks for following our blog, for all the comments and for your well wishes. We will continue to keep you updated as we return home. Please keep us in your prayers as we travel. We can't wait to be home and see Sam!

I cried as I read your blog for the last time and breathed a sign of relief that it is finally time to come home! What a sweet picture of Leanne and Allyson. Friends held together with a one-of-a-kind and special bond! I hope you can keep in touch with them for a lifetime.
I am anxious for your arrival in the States. I am always praying, without ceasing, as God'd blessings carries you through the end of this journey. God is good all the time and I praise Him for bringing you this far!
love - Courtney
