The White Swan
BTW, here’s our hotel. It has a *huge* jade ship in the lobby just like the peabody does along with a giant Easter bunny display. Easter is oddly enough, quite popular here. The stewardess on the train over gave out little chocolate easter eggs and wished us happy easter. Wendy just pionted out that they’re probably viewed as fertility eggs here.
BTW, the train that we rode in has Amtrak beat hollow. It’s was clean, quiet and comfortable. Plus, we got free bottles of water and candy eggs. More on the water in a later post.

Glad you two are having a great time. I appreciate the paragraph about the keyboard!
Welp, I did it, I fed Nadia some sun chips and gave her indigestion…apparantly babies have sensitive stomachs, she did not do well with the BBQ or grilled chicken I fed her last week….only baby food in the near future from dad!I found my self going out at 11:00pm to get something to sooth her stomach last night. Danielle has done a great job taking care of her all night. They are both sleeping this morning. We got new carpet in the two front bedrooms yesterday. I just got back from getting new tires for the Xterra.
I look forward to hearing more from you two and Betsy Ye!
Don’t feed her anything too spicy!

When you get Betsy you might want to take her to the “Mattel toy room” that is on the bottom floor of the White Swan. It had just opened when we were there last April…

Tyler says we are bringing you food to your house and half of a cheesecake when you get home. He said to call us on Sunday so that we don’t wake anybody up or let us know if we need to come over at 2 in the morning…

Hey guys!! We just got back from Spring Break in Colorado with the kids yesterday. I have enjoyed keeping up with your travels today on the computer. We talked about you one night at dinner. Carter asked if you had picked up his new cousin yet. We can not wait to meet litte Betsy Ye. Keep up the e-mails.

Dear Betsy Ye,
It won’t be long now until you get the best Easter present ever…a family. My mom is so excited for your parents. She said that she totally remembers how it felt these last few hours before I arrived. Now the real adventure begins. Don’t worry. It’s a wonderful journey. God bless you. Love, Lily Jewel Chun-Chang

Dearest Besty Ye,
Hi! We are so happy your finally here. But not as happy a the loving family you now are apart! God has placed you in the arms of some of the best people I know. Because of these people, they make me want to be a better person (Christian), they are the role models you want for you children. Your big brother is so special-he has waited as long as the rest of us for you to arrive. And you Grandparent-there are no sweeter people. In fact, the whole family is awesome!! God’s timing is everything-we as humans sometimes forget this. Just remember you are so loved by us all!!
