Those pictures are great....that was hillarious about the baby in the street. We get up each morning to see China before Kaylee heads off to school. We are so loving it! What will we do when you are home? I am glad that you got to go to a market while there. That was one of the highlights of my trip to Korea. I felt like we really SAW & EXPERIENCED Korea at the markets. Much love & prayers....already praying for your next trip and another transition for all. Hope you can find FOOD!

I can see by those matching red outfits on your girls that you have been doing some shopping - what a great picture. Did you ever buy chops for the girls? Robyn and I were looking at the pictures together this morning and she recognized your girls from church. She is very excited about meeting Malea. I was also wondering whether or not the orphanage staff brought anything from the package you sent to Malea, although I guess that is not a big deal since they brought Malea and that is the best part!

The pictures and articles are just wonderful! Enjoy your trip, but we're anxious to have all of you home. I can't wait to sunggle Malea! My family had an experience with chicken feet and toes once on the Island of Tobago...I understand completely! Makes you appreciate all that we have, and then some! God is so wonderful. Blessings to you. Love, Cara

Okay, sorry to write twice today but I came across this verse that described perfectly how excited we all get around here to read about where and what the Spears have been up to.

"Prov. 25:25 Like cold water to a weary soul is good news from a distant land."

Not that I am weary, but just the good news from the distant land is like that feeling. Okay, just had to share....thought it was cool that I ran into it today!!

Hi Spears!

Your smiles say it all. What a happy time for your family. Malea is beautiful and I can't wait to see her when you get back. Hope you all are getting good rest and good food (without claws, ugh!). Looking forward to your return.
