Update for Thursday
















Whew! sorry about the short blog yesterday. I was wiped out! A good nights sleep and an easy "baby day" has put some life back into me. We are getting to see more and more of Emmas personality every day. She is VERY sweet (most of the time). You wait and see. There's something about her that just makes you want to snuggle her! Check out the smile at dinner(really good chinese food- you wont find this stuf over there! -England or the US!) That's our first smiling photo of her. The video ron posted today shows her "tough side"(spunky/bossy/with a touch of fire). She has so far really hated when we point the camera at her- she usually cries- today she told Ron to put it away and spit (a habit we are working to correct) You can't help but laugh though. Check out her salute at the podium at the beginning. That still cracks me up!
Up until now she has only allowed me to hold her, comfort her, play, etc. But today she woke up in a great mood and the whole day was fun with lots of smiles. Ron got the first gooodnight kiss tonight and the boys got to hold her hands going up the steps.
We are turning out be very popular in China. We are stared at everywhere we go. At first I though it was our "tallness", then I thought it was our height plus a toddler who looks chinese. But now I know......It's The boys. Yesterday a girl asked to have her picture taken with Ronnie (see attached), Then two gigglie teens were being very shy with Joey, and today at the Museum we saw two girls snapping pictures of them from across the room. LOL!
Tomorrow is the last big day in Hubei province. We get Emma's passport.,then we are finished here. Saturday we fly to Guanzhou to get her Physical and American visa. WOW! We will then head back to London on The 19th. Good night all, and thanks again for all of the good advise and well wishing!
PS. We have got a picture with Ron in it for all you who asked. (sorry its side ways)Now that he can hold the baby, maybe I'll get a chance to hold the camera!

WOW, a day in the life of the Behr family. Emma's smile is so beautiful. You guys look so so good. We miss having you here but then we know we'll get to have you here in England (with us) until God says otherwise. We're praying the papers and physical go smoothly for you. the Delacruzes
