Comments: Hi Ian, Tessa and Julianna,
Just read your blog and it looks like you all had an exciting day. I love the cotton candy! The playground looks like fun. Julianna must be very brave to go down the slides. She probably watched you guys and thought it looked easy. Uncle Bup and I miss you all and look forward to seeing you soon. Have fun in China!
Lots of love...your BFF....Aunt Apple

Comments: Hello and congratulations on your beautiful daughter! You don't know me, but I love to read about families in China on this web site as we are considering adoption ourselves. I just wondered if you have heard an ETA on the completion of the renovation of the White Swan? My friends were there about two years ago, and I am pretty sure it has been under construction ever since!

Comments: Hi Tessa and Ian,
It looks like you guys are having so much fun in China! I wish I was there visiting all those fun places with you. How is your little sister doing? She is so cute and also so lucky to have you both to look after her and teach her the ropes!
Miss you both. Can't wait to come see you when you get back.
Love, Aunt Apple
