One more post before we go!

(If you haven't read yesterday's post yet, scroll down to read before this one.)

It is a beautiful day here in Bei Wu county and we are all ready with suitcases at the door and MacLean getting her last fix of babies. She is very sad and doesn't want to come home but knows that we will come back. She is happy to know that many of the babies get adopted.

We are sad to report that we lost another little baby due to respiratory distress and severe heart failure before she could make it for surgery. She had come from another orphanage to have surgery done and was too sick and died here this morning. Tina who is the nurse asked me to name both the babies for her so the little girl was named Vanessa and the boy Jacob. I felt honoured that they asked me and sat here and said a wee prayer. They are just waiting for someone to come and take the baby to the hospital to have her pronounced dead and do the death certificate and cremation. I shed tears knowing that they didn't even have a name when they died. They did have chinese names but I was happy to give them english names. In China nobody is buried they are cremated.

On a happier note we ventured out with the nannies on their walks today through the village. Most of the pics are from that time. We had a wonderful time walking and the kids were so excited to have us along. We came back to do preschool and then have lunch in the dining room. After lunch we had our swim and then showered in Tina's room. Mac is down in the playrooms and I am just finishing the blog.

See you on the other side of the world. Enjoy the pics.
Love, Shauna and MacLean xo
