Santa Train
Gramma, Carlee and I went on the Santa Train last weekend. It was just after the big ice storm so the trees looked like they were made of glass but the tracks were covered with branches so we couldn't make it to the end of the line and had to return to the station in reverse.

Persimmon Quest
Pappy and Gramma have a persimmon tree in the field down from their house.
So Sunday right after church Pappy decides it's a good time to get Carlee a persimmon. So out comes the old step ladder (circa 1950) and off they trek down to the tree. Carlee is in her Sunday school dress with high heels.

The Gingerbread House
Gramma bought a Gingerbread house at Walmart the other day for her and Carlee to do. After quite a bit of work and instruction they completed it. I think Carlee was quite pleased with the result.

Cadee Update
Here is the latest on Cadee. We received word last week that our agency couldn't get consulate appts for Dec so the earliest we will be traveling is Jan 8.
AFTH has 2 groups traveling one will be going to Jiangxi and our group going to Guangdong. We have approx 14-16 families in our group and approx 3-4 families going for their second child.
Our trip sounds like it will be a repeat of our trip to get Carlee.
Fly from Newark to Hong Kong. Stay at the Regal Hotel in the Hong Kong Airport then go on the bus with Ben in the morning to head to Guangzhou and the White Swan Hotel http://www.whiteswanhotel.com/eng/Public/briefIntro/index.asp. On the Shamian Island http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shamian_Island stay at the White Swan for approx 10 days then back to Hong Kong and home.
I'm looking forward to seeing Jennifer's place http://www.jennifers_place.homestead.com/, Lucy's Restaurant, and the big dept store shopping spree again.
On the trip each family is assigned a number for Carlee we were family number 3. Well this time we moved up the list to family number 2.
There is another couple in our group from Harrisburg which is only 30 min from home. their daughter is around 7-8 mo. but hopefully we can keep in contact and let the girls get together once they get older.
