Thank you for praying for us. It means alot. We did get Jon at about 3:00 p.m. Hefei time and we feel so blessed to have God's protection. He has not cried once and is so happy. He is eating cookies right now and stacking cups! Jon is so adorable it is almost unbearable. His white hair is just so cute too!
Today we went to this amazing restaurant on the 29th (top) floor and it revolved at about 1 mph, but made my mom and grandma sick. The food was a nice change and very good. We also saw a window washer on the outside of the window and that made ME sick, because he was so high up.
Also, just a couple of minutes ago, we went for a short walk and found out we were actually walking in the bike lane. The people were looking at us like we were crazy.
A funny story about Jon is that we went on the elevator (which he loved) he would sing and do a hop. It was very cute! :)
I took many pictures today and will show you what we have been doing with Jon.
Here is the verse of the day.
Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God. Matthew 4:4
