More pics for everyone. We are finishing up our 1st day together, getting ready for bed. Mia is doing awesome! She is all ready calling me "BaBa", which means daddy in chinese. She seems to be very comfortable going to the both of us, which should make things alot easier than we thought. I put pictures of some of the food that is on the awesome buffett at our hotel. Deep fried bullfrog, chicken feet, pig feet, sea jelly fish, sauteed squid, and lots of other wonderful dishes. We ordered steaks off the menu. Mia's favorite seems to be watermelon and a dish they call "congee" which is like oatmeal. We spent most of the day in offices completing paper work. We have the whole day tomorrow without meetings. Our guide is going to take us to the park and maybe the zoo. Should be alot of fun. We will probably goto see the village Mia was born in sometime in the next couple of days. She is doing so much better than either of us could have imagined. Everywhere we have been today, everyone tells our guide how beautiful she is. She seems to be somewhat demanding and bossy, should fit in with our family very well. Haha. You boys are in for a treat! Although quite a handful, she truly is more beautiful than we could have ever imagined. Remember to keep us in your prayers and thank God for His wonderful blessings!

M Schoen,

Our minds are as different as our faces: We are all traveling to one destination;---Happiness; Love; Peace and Eternity with GOD! But few are going down the same road. You and your family will be blessed and make happiness come true in a little girls heart and soul! She is truly a gift from GOD and absolutely a Cutie! Yesterday is but a dream, and tomorrow is a vision, but today well lived makes every yesterday a dream of happiness and every tomorrow a vision of love to bring to life with you and your new family. "Remember that life's most treasured gifts often come unannounced."

Blessings!
