So, now you all see just what all this was about! He was worth every bit of wait.
We have really been enjoying the city, it's VERY hot, even at 8 am, so maybe we will shed a few pounds while we are here. I have no doubt that our little one will have us running after him continuosly! He is just so full of energy, and those smiles..............Ah! What a wonderful smile he has! He is definitely a ham when it comes to the camera! (just like his big sis!)
Today we will spend the afternoon with Shaun. Do a bit of shopping with him and Pat our social worker (who is wonderful, by the way!) After lunch, Pat said we could spend some alone time with him until she brings him back to Bang Sai for his last night with his foster family.
Speaking of his foster family.....what wonderful people! We enjoyed sitting and talking with them and finding out more about our son. He is the MASTER of that home, it is obvious! They really appreciated that we brought pictures of Luke (adopted by the Sebralla family) You could just tell that it meant a lot to them. They are expecting us to keep sending pictures of Shaun as he grows, and of course we will. He is their 6th foster child. They have pictures of all the children in their home. When we said our goodbyes to them, it was bitter sweet. The Papa grabbed Kevin and embraced him in a big hug. I know this meant a lot to Kev as he was not sure what kind of "man" influence Shaun has had. As we could see, he is very close with the whole family. It is amazing that they are such wonderful, loving people in this world. Shaun is very lucky to have started his life with them, he is healthy and happy......what more could we ask for!
Tonight, Kevins Dad and step Mom are joining us, and we are looking forward to seeing them! It is so wonderful that they could make the trip from Fujian, China to see their grandson! Plus, with all of Shaun's energy, 4 extra hands is going to be so helpful.
We are going to get going but will be on-line this evening to skype! Hope to see some of you on there tonight. We aren't getting home sick yet (other than our Abby), but it is so nice to see familar faces. Hope to see you on!
Funny thing...................they think I am Thai! Imagine that! Why is it that no matter where I go, I am asked if I am a native, except in America????? Kev thinks it's pretty funny, as do I.
Take care everyone, and thank you so much for the comments! It sure would be nice to see MY family post some thing on here................get with it people!
Love to you all!!!!
K, K and S !!!!!
PS- we are getting another foot massage this evening......YIPPPEEEEEEE!

Congratulations!!! Enjoy every minute of this trip!!!
That's so funny what you said about looking Thai! I was thinking about how well you fit in 'with your tan skin', as Caroline calls it. She is really excited about Shaun, and esp. when you get home, b/c she misses Abby Liz...silly billy:) That's so wonderful to hear about his foster family. Keep having fun:)
We are just so pround of all of you! What a family! Abby is so brave and Mom and Dad are doing fantastic and Shaun is wide open to the adventure of coming home!
Full speed ahead guys!
Congratulations to your whole family! Shaun is adorable!! Keep enjoying BKK it's a fantastic city!
