First of all, I realize I have so many mis-spelled words in the previous posts, sorry. We've been on 5 different planes in 5 ddays and it's really starting to catch up with us!!!! The pearl market was out of this world. When we walked in President Clinton, Madeline Albright, Condeleesa Rice, Barbara Bush and Laura Bush were all on the wall. So, we felt pretty good about making a purchase. The silk factory was a neat place to visit just to see how they make all of those beautiful clothes!!!
The last pictures are us actually enjoying what we were eating. The place was called Noodles and we HAD to eat with chop sticks. Really, really good. We are blown away at how faithful God has been to us on this journey. We are still saying "We can't believe we're here!!!"
We are actuallly now in Guangzhou at the White Swan Hotel. We have seen soooo many babies. Actually as I write this, there's a precious 18 month old outside our door. We thought we were going to get Olivia on Monday, but it's been changed until Tuesday!! I'm running up a good little bill at the business center, so we will post as soon as we have that precious thing in our arms. I'm already getting emotional just being here. I'll be a wreck on Tuesday!!! To our families... we love you so much. Tate, how many books have you read about China? You should come and be a tour guide!!! We are so grateful for what's just about to happen!!!!! See you in about two days!!!

Well, what a once-in-a-lifetime experience you are having! We saw Harvel and Dorinda last night at Ricatoni's, and she is just beside herself. I wish you didn't have to wait another day for Olivia. I know it is tougher for you than us, but everyone is so anxiously waiting to see that first picture. You look great in pearls, by the way!
Love you and praying for you everyday, The Wiggs
Stephanie and Tyler,
Tuesday will come. Hang in there. I'm sorry it is an extra day but Olivia will be there in God's good time.

I feel like my next grandchild is about to be born. I would have responded earlier, but you know how computer illiterate I am and didn't even know I could comment until you mentioned how much the comments meant to you and Tyler. I cannot wait to see that precious baby in your arms!! God is soooo
good!! Even though Olivia is so young, God has been preparing her heart for you and Tyler. I love you both so much!! Deborah

Hey! We love looking at the pictures everyday. Jamie is like I want to go, I want to go....He is just as thrilled as I am to look at the pictures each day. This was the best thing you could have done. I can not believe it is almost time for Olivia to be in her Mommy and Daddy's arms. I know this is the moment you have been waiting for and it's finally here. We are so proud for you both. I can NOT wait to see the post with OLIVIA!!!! I believe the entire town of Muscle Shoals will be squealing with joy!!! I love you both and can't wait to get my hands on Miss Olivia Ji'Lan.

I keep trying to post, but it will never let me. I've registered like a million times.
Anyway, I've loved following y'all around China. Just like everyone else, I can't wait to see THE picture!
I've looked at your others in detail...was that octopus in the meat counter? Yuck. Don't eat anything squiggly.
MaryCalvert loved the shoes. She said, "Oh. My. Word."
Can't wait to hear from you again. I check in at least daily!
I'll be praying!

I always wonder what time it is for you guys...it's 10:07 Sunday night here right now. I didn't know if it would be 10 am Sunday morning or Monday morning for y'all.
I checked China time just now and it says that it is 11:07 Monday morning.
So, WOW...you get Olivia tomorrow!
Now I'm wondering what time you get her...
Okay...so the clock on this blog says it's 8 pm-ish. Go figure...
I can't wait for the next post!
We love you and miss you!! We are checking your blog all the time and we cannot wait to see Olivia. You have been so patient, and God is so good! It won't be long now. You cannot imagine how many people are praying and anxiously waiting for the picture of Olivia in your arms! We are loving your tour of China, but the reason you are there is finally about to happen! I cannot imaginge how excited you must be. See you soon!

Wow Stephanie, I have been praying for you guys for a while now. It is so neat to see God working in your lives. Olivia is also so blessed to be getting such wonderful parents. I saw Pat at the hospital Thursday and she is just beaming! I can't wait for you guys to get home with that precious little girl! Butch and I are praying for you daily. Even Jami asks to read your blog everyday.

Hey Stephanie and Tyler!

I know you can't wait to meet little Olivia. We can't wait to see the pictures! We will continue to pray for you three and check here frequently!
I also wanted to say that as a parent of a student at McBride, I am so impressed that you are still thinking of your class. I'd be like, "What class?" It would be the last thing on my mind. You must be a wonderful teacher. Can Emma be in your class next year?
We are praying for you!
