Flint Family Five Adventures

A chronicle of our biggest adventure yet - as we travel to China to adopt our little girl Olivia.

Do you think she has enough body life guards?

Her Life Guards
Bathing Beauty
It was our last day in Zhengzhou, Henan Province. We are having mixed feelings as this is Olivia's birthplace that she won't remember. But we are also excited about having the second leg of our trip done. Tomorrow we fly to Guangzhou. I can't wait to see has Olivia does on the plane. she has become quite the wiggle worm. this should be interesting.

We began the day with some ping pong and a dip in the pool. Olivia loved it. we weren't sure how she'd take the cool water as Chinese children have everything very warm but, no problem.

I took a taxi ride with our guide, Rita, today. I needed more formula for Olivia. I will never make any comments about NYC taxi driver's again. let's just say Rita laughed as I rode with my hands over my eyes.

We had dinner with the other families at Mama Mia's! Italian in China. it was pretty good, too! We can't wait to get back to the Geneseo Mama Mia's.

I am off to pack. what a nightmare. good night.

Love, 
The Flints

    Ellen, I meant to tell you, to try a banana with her and steamed eggs..(that's Chinese for a type of scrambled egg) That''s pretty much what Aaliya ate every morning. I know they like the bottles very hot, but she took it warm, every kid is different. Praying that everyone is feeling better soon. Lots of Love, T kocher

    Hello Flints, Olivia gets cuter with each picture you post. If that is possible...she is so adorable. Olivia get used to the brotherly arguing. It won't take long and it will be your fault. You hit me or punched me. Oh yeah let the fun begin.

    Ellen, I am getting ready to take Kathleen to do some banking. She is dizzy today and needs to go to a couple different places in Geneseo and Mt. Morris. Kenny is on an all day golf trip so I asked her if she wanted me to take her and she said yes she needed to get it done today. So I will be taking her. When I get her safely home I am stopping at the arts and crafts show in Geneseo. Seen lots of planes flying over last night.

    Had a very silly dream about Olivia and our first meeting at the airport. Wil send Cole an email and tell you. You will crack up.

    Still putting off the jungle...still quite warm everyday. I think next Tuesday is supposed to cool down and we will get it done then. Kenny is getting your van tomorrow for the cleaning. He is putting notes to the boys when he is done. God only knows what he will threaten them with. Should be interesting.

    Please stop getting so serious over the ping-pong game. You look like there is a million dollar prize for the winner. lol

    Love to everyone. Char
