he's my brother!
When I saw these pictures that CP took of the boys while I was shopping on Shamian Island, this was the first thing that entered my mind. These boys are just the best of friends. I can't wait until we get home and all FOUR boys can play together.
We went to the Island this morning to have the TB results checked. As I had noticed, both boys' reactions were large. Fortunately, TJ's just missed the cut-off for needing an X-ray. GW's, however, was slightly larger and he needed an x-ray. I was nervous for a brief moment, but one of the mom's prayed for us right there in the Medical office. That made all my fears disappear. We waited only a minute before GW went in for his x-ray. I was standing in the office and could see the x-ray image on the computer screen. Not that I'm a radiologist (nor do I play one on TV!), but it looked pretty clear to me. Sure enough, a minute later, they said we were clear to go!!!
We spent the morning shopping - just what 3 boys want to do! But they did great. There was plenty of space for them to run and jump and bounce and hop while I was in the stores. I got something nice for each of the four boys and some outfits for the girls (yes, HJ, I FINALLY bought your Chinese clothes for you!!!) I also got two very special Books that I had been told I could find on the island for a very good price. We then had lunch at Lucy's before we loaded up the bus and returned to our hotel.
Tomorrow we visit the Botanical Garden.

What books are they? And, where did you find them?
LOVE those pictures!
I was wondering if you could tell me where you found the special Books- I would love one for our new daughter! Thanks, Kim

I have so enjoyed following the journey to your boys.
Laughed out loud at your comment "Not that I'm a radiologist (nor do I play one on TV!), but it looked pretty clear to me."....glad all was clear! blessings to y'all today!
We bought one of the Books when we were there this past April. Hubby uses his every week. He will pass it on to our son when he is older.

This is AT. Will you do a post about me? <3?
We've never met but I found your story through the Holt forum. Thanks for letting us follow your incredible journey. God has really blessed your family! These pictures are priceless!
I am so THANKFUL our friend Pam found the Book and bought some extra copies as we had a ROUGH time on the island with J. We did make it back once but it was nighttime and the store with the book was closed. Anyway, J uses his Book everyday and it doubles as a way for him to keep his language skills going.
Also, he is often asked to read from it on Sundays and Fridays at our B class. Isn't that amazing that he is reading from the Book in his native language? And the kids eat it up and none of them understand his native tongue, but there is a story in that Book about that isn't there?!
So glad it is going so well! Loved reading updates on your children back home!
