Sightseeing in Dalian





After almost a week away from home, we finally had a day of sightseeing! Dalian is a beautiful city and the seaside is really gorgeous. We just drove along the shore and saw the National Hotel, where the Chinese diplomats stayed. Mao had a room there, but apparently never stayed.

We also stopped at a square with many sculptures and some rides for kids to go on. Zach and Hannah had a great time!

Zach continues to do well and we are so thankful to God for the peaceful adjustment he has made to us while here. We know there is more adjustments to be made when we get home. Zach has already told Maggie that he is afraid of his new room -- it will be too big! He wants his sisters to sleep in his room with him for a little while. It will be much different at home than here. We pray the transition continues to go well. And thanks to everyone for their continued prayers on our behalf. We are blessed!

Steve and Cindy,

I love seeing the pictures of you two with Zach. He is just grinning from ear to ear, it is so fun to see! I am continuing to pray for you. We get the girls tomorrow night and my family is looking forward to it! I'll let you know how they are doing. I am so glad things are progressing well.

WOW. WOW. WOW. What else can I say?
PRAISE GOD! PRAISE GOD! PRAISE GOD!
Your blog is therapy for us, we are always on the watch for your next post. Zach's smiles are contagious...affecting us on the other side of the world...how can you not smile back????
Can you ask him if he knows Dang Xiao Lian? (dahng she-ow lee-an) It would be so easy for us to connect in the future as we live relatively close and are in MN a couple times a year to see family...
We are continuing to cover you in prayer, thanks for sharing your journey with all of us!
Blessings-
Lisa and family

Stephanie and I have had so much fun following your journey to get Zach. Your pictures are breathtaking and Zach's smile is heart melting!!

We look forward to your return home and can't wait to meet Zach and watch him play and grow in our neighborhood with the rest of our kids. I can already tell he is going to be a great addition. Our love and prayers to you all. Travel and return safe.
