Yuck, we are packing. We bought another piece of luggage and two carry on's to replace our backpacks. Too much to bring home!! We are even leaving some stuff behind!
We visited an herb, animal, produce market today that we renamed the "Freak Market". Oh my goodness!! What sites to see. I was glad that Sophia didn't catch the dog, gutted and hanging. She has been missing her cat "Charlie" something terrible, so she didn't enjoy seeing all of the caged kitties.
There were plenty of dried starfish, organs, snake skins, live snakes, chickens, snake wine, etc.!! Came back and finished up our shopping and enjoyed a last meal at "Lucy's" restaurant. (Best western food you'll find around here!)
We had a great meal family style at a Chinese restaurant last night in the Victory Hotel with our group, since some people were leaving today.
We are really going to miss everyone~ we had the opportunity to get to know some great people.
We leave here tomorrow morning to fly to Beijing and then we go on straight to JFK from there. We should arrive at JFK at about 1:00PM on Thursday.
Looking forward to being home and seeing everyone. Alena has had three teeth poke through while we've been here. She's doing some fierce teething!!
Love,
Jenni

Hi guys! Okay,that animal...etc. store would not do well with me because you know how I am with animals. I probably would have let all of those kittens lose. Tell Sophia that Charlie is fine! He even let me pick him up. He and Grace have been playing together when I stay with them and hang a little while. Your pictures have been great and I can't wait to see all of you, even you Fred. LOL. Have a safe trip and we will see you soon! Love ya!
As the Grateful Dead said, "What a long strange trip its been". You sound, and look in the pictures, a little tired. We have loved all the pictures and updates, have a safe trip we love you all.

Wishing you safe travels home! Hope your flight goes quickly and easily for you.
Merry Christmas and Happy Homecoming!
Safe travels home!!
It has been fun following your journey!
YUCK!!!!! I guess that Was a Freak market. That poor dog looks like one of ours. We're glad you guys had such a Great time in China. It must have been both enlightening and insightful. All I know is we can't wait for you to get our beautiful new grand-daughter home and setteled in so we can see her. Alena has the most infectious smile Ive ever seen. Not only that, but when she smiles, her whole body seems to smile. We can't wait, so please get in touch as soon as you get back to semi-normal. LOVE- to you all- from all of us; Sheryl, Dad, Aaron, Lily, & Dan
Have a safe trip home! I bet you can't wait to have her home and in her beautiful room.

Jenni,
I am so happy for you guys. I have been following your blog since you left. Everyone looks so happy. You must be so excited to be on your way home though. I can't wait to meet your little angel. (Katelyn thinks "Sophia's baby" is very cute!). Talk to you soon.
