For this child I prayed; and the LORD hath given me
my petition which I asked of him:

More Lainee pics

Here are some more Lainee pics for your enjoyment. As you can tell by our posts, we were unable to finish while in China. We ran into some internet issues the last leg of our trip. We wanted to do a day-by-day but instead I am finishing up our trip posts from home. I will bring them up to date over the next few days. I just love this pic




Daddy's little girl


We are now home and I promise to update soon.
Much Love,
Danielle, Ryan, & Lainee, too

Day 10- Yuntai Garden

Today we had the privilege of visiting an absolutely beautiful garden in Guangzhou. It reminded me of a mix of Cypress Gardens meets Disney World. Lainee got so excited as soon as we entered the gate she was actually squealing. She was so attentive and looked at everything with wide eyes. The weather was gorgeous and it reminded me of home. This was our last day of touring and I believe they saved the best for last.

























It was such a great time to see Lainee get so excited and seem to really enjoy herself. We look forward to many more of these experiences with our daughter.
We wrapped up the day with the usual nap after our return to the hotel and dinner at Lucy's; just call us creatures of habit.
Much Love,
Danielle, Ryan, & Lainee, too

Day 9- Chen Family Temple

Today we visited the Chen Family Temple. This temple was originally built as a school by a collective group of Chen Families for their children to attend. It was later turned into an ancestral temple. The detail and craftsmanship was amazing. Everywhere you looked you could see something interesting.





















































Lainee received a gift from some young ladies as we stood in the courtyard. They gave her a small branch with two small oranges on it. When I asked our guide about it, she said they gave her a gift because they like her very much.
The rest of the day was our to just hang out and relax. We went back to our room took naps and then went to Lucy's for dinner again.
Much Love,
Danielle, Ryan, & Lainee, too
