This is the view out of our hotel room window at about noon. We have only seen the sun a couple of times during this trip. We do not know if this is normal for this time of year or just this way all of the time.

Even though this is out of focus you can see a very happy and playful Ashley cutting up with Daddy and the camera.
Another view of the beautiful Smile of Ashley.

This is our "Adoption Barbie" that is given to all the adoptive families by Mattel and the White Swan.

It is getting closer to time to go home and we cannot wait. We are all very tired and Ashley is running a fever again. Once again we are blessed by the Stanley family who let us have their medicine for Ashley since we had used all of ours. They have been a wonderful family and we are so thankful for them! Many have asked about the lady who fell and I have forgotten if I put in here about only one of them or both of them. The first lady who fell at the zoo is doing much better, but still sore. She has the local shopping to keep her going. The elderly lady who fell in her room ended up with a broken arm and flew home today to get it taken care of, we have had many prayers for her during this time and we hope all will heal quickly.
As we have feared the group has separated a lot since the move. Each couple or maybe one or two couples are going their own way, we are sadden by this as we enjoyed the time with all of them.
We have learned a lot for this trip and will treasure the time forever. I value the time learning from all of the other families more than anything. We have such a good group of Christian people here and they are not afraid to show it. We have prayed in public, held hands in prayer and worship together, comforted each other and attended to each other's needs.

By the way Billie and I found some white silk and bought enough to make Ashley a wedding dress when she grows up. Billie thought that this would be a nice thought to have the silk from the same trip as when we came to get her.
We hope that everyone at home is doing well and we look forward to seeing you all very soon.
Love to all,
Mike & Billie
