What a way to end the day....

We had more firsts today but this was the best one. Hudson has been showering me with kisses starting yesterday. Tonight I asked him for one then said "Give Daddy a kiss"....and he did!!!! (and it wasn't just one, he continued to kiss him, he would actually hold his lips on Mark's for several seconds until Mark couldn't hold back his laughter) It is amazing the English he understands in just a few days. He also said "up" today when he wanted me to hold him and did let Mark hold him for about 7 seconds...He is our source of entertainment!! The Lord couldn't have made him anymore perfect for our family.
Please pray for little Andrew, one of our travel families. He has been running a fever the last two days and after a trip to the hospital tonight they found out he has strep throat. They are first time parents and exhausted. Our travel plans to Guangzhou have been put off until Sat due to the national holiday here tomorrow. We were all so disapointed but I am sure this is better for Andrew, one more day of rest and getting those antiobiotics to work before a very long day for us Sat. We have to leave the hotel at 5:30 am for an hour drive to the airport, a four hour flight to Guangzhou and then our medical exams and 2 hours of paperwork. Pray also for his parents, Lisa and Kevin. Lisa is hoping she is just dealing with allergies and not getting sick herself. We are all glad we are here together!!!
