What a blessing!

During last night party... a very nice gentleman, told us that for the next
three days he would send us his driver and he would take us anywhere we
wanted!!! So we did just that...we went back to the flea market and then
went to a shopping mall, where ALL of the sales people call to you trying to
get you to purchase items, Jeff loved the place because all the women hang
on you trying to get you to buy, he said he just wanted to stay up on the
third floor (this is where the women were the most aggressive.) Jeff said if
you ever feel lonely this is the place to go. Needless to say Jeff was on
his own personal high all afternoon, (after being hung on all afternoon.)
The few things we purchased they would give me a price, on a calculator then
I would erase theirs and put my bottom dollar in and walk away then they
would come after me this would go back and forth for awhile UNTIL they
accepted my bottom dollar, this was very fun, I thought they did NOT realize
I have been in sales most of my life...my father taught me well, DONT
BUDGE!!! Then the women would say YOU have a good a wife, she is the boss!
THAT IS TRUELY A FALICY

We had a WONDERFUL DAY, Thank YOU Mr. Yang!!

Breakfast....

We usually just eat a big breakfast and snack thru the day.... Lucy Mae
loves Tabasco -- but not this morning I put WAY too much on her eggs and
bless her heart instead of complaining she just sat there eating while slow
cooking until I realized what was going on...
Vivian is our most favorite server at the restaurant -- she is pleasant,
funny, and love to talk to Lucy Mae!!!

Lucy Mae's guardian angel -- Yan Li

Yan Li is Lucy Mae's true guardian angel... the role one can play in one's
life can be subtle or it can be exponential... In Lucy Mae's case it's the
latter. It's staggering to think where Lucy Mae (Xiao Ai) would be today if
it were not for Yan Li's phone call to Jane Peng ...........

Celebration!

The hotel manager was so taken by Lucy Mae's story and the outpouring of
love & happiness... he broke out several bottles of Champagne!

What a GRAND evening....

We are still awestruck over the outpouring of love and compassion shown for
Lucy Mae!!

The Hospital Staff that cared so much for her....

These are pre-party pictures

The story that unfolded this evening at the He Ping hospital and at the
party were AMAZING... we are still is awe of the evenings events!

Xiao Ai Nurse Family

WOW I am nervous, you would of thought our daughter was going to prom, or
getting married I put the MOST BEAUTIFUL dress on her that her grandma
Vickie bought her, and I prayed that someday I would be able to help her
with her wedding dress to a godly young man who loves the LORD and her. We
are getting ready to go to the hospital where she spent a lot of her years,
the doctors and nurses love her so very much that they are giving her a
party after visiting the hosptial...so many emotions going through me right
now, it will be a bittersweet memory. Jeff is down in the lobby taking
pictures so I can finish getting ready...WHAT an honor this will be, Yan
will be there as well...she is VERY VERY SICK right now but really pushing
herself to be a part of this, prayers welcomed. GOD BLESS Thank YOU all for
loving and supporting us a family. Pray for Lucy Mae Yan, who will be saying
goodbye to a group of nurses and doctors that loves her for years, our lives
are truly so fragile.

Sheep


boy oh boy

File:Flock of sheep.jpgwe are going to have to get some sheep, Lucy Mae for the last year has lived on a sheep farm and will only drink sheep milk, she was told that it is sheep milk that makes you very smart and she wants to be smart. I like sheep, I think we could do sheep LOL.

preshUS moments, she loves her hair fixed!!! LOVE at night she falls
asleep in my arms.

This is Mark who took us out and to church yesterday, the other
picture...it was amazing to see this man dodge all the oncoming cars he
walked so slow all this for bread, bless his heart.

she has a very very funny side to her!

so so so so so so very very cold, was the day of Great Wall, and the other places.

she walked like this for more than 2 hours, with NO complaining.

PICTURE NOT SO CLEAR but I do LOVE this photo...she is stunningly beautiful, flawless... she told our translator that her mother is BEAUTIFUL, gotta love her!!!

GRANDMA AND GRANDPAW thank YOU all for the clothes EVERYONE says I dress so beautiful!!!

MISSING my MAE MAE

THE VERY BERY BEST ROOM SERVICE I HAVE EVER HAD!!!!!

I want these vehicles for up at our home, in the country... I used to want a golf cart, I want one of each of these shipped home!!! oh in pink would be better, LOL

Yesterday was such a surprise!!! Jane Peng's brother Mark (who speaks
very very little English) took us to the convention center (like a flea
market) this was very exciting so many people and mounds of food, that they
sell like an open market. We saw a lot of booths with clothing, and for me
that was fun!!
Mark then took us to a restaurant that is very popular, and it was delish!!!
Then much to our surprise and DELIGHT, Mark took us to a Christian Church,
it was such a blessings no matter the language I felt the spirit of GOD
present!!! Let me be the first to say OUR LITTLE MISS LUCY is one
charismatic little girl, which I love and so will Sojourn!!! It was a
delight to worship GOD with her for the first time, she is so full of life
and joy, my heart was so full of life and joy seeing our preshUS gift from
God experiencing the love of our MIGHTY GOD. The first thing she will learn
when we get home is how Jesus died on the cross for HER sins and how she
will receive his unconditional and everlasting love... My words are very
limited right now (I am taking in so much) IT is hard for me to put into
words what we experienced last night but it will be a memory to cherish for
a lifetime. LET ME SAY I FEEL SO HONORED THAT GOD HAS SENT US ACROSS THE
WORLD TO CARE FOR ONE LITTLE GIRL WHICH HE HAS CHOOSEN FOR US, out of ALL
these people and to know that God had his hand on Lucy Mae, for us...right
now I cannot even put my hearts feeling into words, it is OVERWHELMING.
I (we) love each and EVERYONE OF YOU SO MUCH
May God bless each of you abundantly
Donna
P.S. when she says "Mamma" it is so heartwarming!!
