We enjoyed having lunch with friends today learning about their work in China. They were so sweet to pick us up and treat us to lunch at the Wicker Basket Restaurant. I actually ate a salad. We have salads every day at home but in China, it's not wise to eat anything that is rinsed in the water.
HuiHui had his first fry and loved my chicken pot pie at the Wicker Basket Restaurant.
HuiHui's minority doll....
Our friends told us about a local store nearby. All the items are made by women who are deaf. I bought several gifts but won't post those so they will be a surprise. :) I wanted to buy one of everything.
Enjoying the beautiful tropical trees.
And we ended the day with KFC! HuiHui had his first icecream today!

Hi Trina,
It looks like you've had another amazing day! Chicken pot pie and ice cream....he seems to be adjusting very well!!
Love,
Jennifer
Hang in there, Trina. It will get better. Poor little dear. I'm praying that the Lord will step in and comfort his grieving and frightened little heart and that you will have a chance to get some sleep. (You look great, BTW, for no sleep!) Know we are thinking of you and praying for you all! Laurie
How sweet! I'm so happy you have him in your arms now. We got home from Mexico - it was a wonderful trip, but now I am sick, so I just got a chance to catch up on your news!! Praise the Lord and I'm praying for better days for you soon.
Love, Marcie
Trina and everybody,
We are loving keeping up with your blog!! We will pray that HuiHui soon finds peace and that you all get some sleep. I showed HuiHui's pictures to Joseph and Joseph kept repeating "Jiang, Jiang." I don't know if he thought the picture was him or he just associated the picture of a friend with his time in the orphanage. Glad you liked Sarah! Llewellyn
Trina,
Love the updates. Can't wait until we can meet him in person in Guangzhou. We are doing well. We visit Claire's orphanage today. It may be a very emotional day for all of us. We haven't been as lucky with the food; no KFC close. The kids are hoping for McDonalds today. Praying for your little guy. We too struggle at nap/bed time.
Love,
Your travel mates in Wenzhou
Girl, for someone with no sleep, you look amazing! I would look like death warmed over and probably break the camera! hahahahahahahaha At least you are having some amazing times and making some memories. I love the picture of the little shop and all the dolls in the background! That is soooooooooooooooo cool! Do they sell online or anything? I'd love to find a little doll like that for Rebekah one day. Some of the ones I've seen online aren't that cute. We will keep you in our prayers and send warm and heartfelt wishes around the globe straight to you guys!
Love ya!

Trina,
It breaks my heart to see his sad tears and fears. Oh my! You are right, only God can comfort. I will pray that you have much wisdom in knowing exactly what will minister to his little heart. He is absolutely precious. I pray for sweet sleep and that God exponentially provides sleep to your weary bodies. Love, Linn
