Waiting for sister #4!

Waiting for sister #4!

Wednesday, August 8, 2012

Took the train to Hong Kong this morning. It took about 2 hours. The girls enjoyed it. It is a big double decker train. Sydney ended up sitting with our friends instead of us to play games with them. We are really going to miss them!! We had to say goodbye at the train station. :( I am sure we will keep in contact!! Their little girl has made strides in opening up to them. She is so cute. Can't wait to hear about when she is totally adjusted. It is such a hard start when you are staying in different hotels! Emma completely freaked out for the first 30 minutes in the train. It was so stressful! She was just crying unconsolable, nothing we did helped. She was really out of sorts when we were packing up and leaving the hotel. That has been her home with us and I think she knew something was up and she wasn't going to like it. After the half hour of screaming, though, she suddenly stopped and was her sweet self again! Makes me nervous about the 15 hour flight that is coming tomorrow! Need lots of prayer!

Can pray for Sydney, too. She has been doing great since her seizure, but it happened after a long flight, so this momma is worried. This flight is longer also... 15 hours.

Sydney's big surprise was going to Hong Kong Disneyland! She was surprised for sure. Made it a fun afternoon!

Any prayers over the next 24 hours appreciated! On plane now for 15 hour flight, then layover in Newark, then like a 3 hour flight. Sounds painful! :) Excited to get home though!!

  1. Miss Sydney,
    First of all Happy Early Birthday, and we can't believe you got to go to Disneyland in Hong Kong! We can't wait for you guys to get home, we'll be praying for all of you during your long way home. Callie can't wait to see you and your new sister, you'll have to introduce us :)

  2. Disneyland, Sydney?!?! No way! I bet you're the only person in your class that got to spend their birthday at Disneyland Hong Kong. I can't wait to hear all about it.

    We'll be praying for all of you on your long trip back home, Lori. For Emma to not be overwhelmed on the plane, for Sydney to get some much needed sleep during the flight and/or layover, for Callie to sleep on the plane also and not fight with her sisters, and for you and Matt to affectively juggle your family of 5 as you meet their needs and bring them home to their own comfy beds.
