I think Samantha is getting used to having her picture taken. She smiles more often for the camera. Kyle on the other hand still has his fake smile which isn't much of a smile at all. We went a couple of places this morning, including a museum, with the 5 other families in our group. I love it that many places are still decorated for the Chinese new year, the year of the dragon. We were able to do some shopping and get a few souvenirs. (Kyle and Samantha even got a light up Angry Bird ball!) We took a taxi this afternoon to get some American food at Lucy's and also drop off some laundry at a cheaper price than the hotel. We have had to get ready and go somewhere most mornings. I am very glad tomorrow we don't leave the hotel until 1:30 p.m.
We want to invite everyone to meet Samantha when we get back to the U.S. There will be a few different gatherings. You are more than welcome to join us at the Evansville airport when we arrive Friday night February 17 at 8:35 p.m. There were over 100 people gathered when we came back with Kyle and it made us so happy. Since our layover in Detroit is 7 hours we may try to get an earlier flight into Evansville but if that happens, we will update the blog that afternoon to let you know. There will also be an open house gathering on Sunday afternoon February 19 from 2-4 p.m. at General Baptist Church on Hicks Dr. on Evansville's southeast side near the Duck Inn. Samantha will have a couple of doctor's appointments on Monday regarding her heart. Tuesday February 21 there will be a open house gathering in Clinton, TN at Second Baptist Church from 5-7 p.m. in the Riverside room. We hope everyone will be able to come to one or more places to meet Samantha. We have less than a week to go! Look forward to seeing you soon!
