Returning to Beijing, Kennedy's baby picture and goodbye's..

And here she is.. Kennedy's earliest baby picture....what an angel...what a beautiful thing to have.



This article was in the China Daily News, it was about the group going to Yangzhou.

Well James and Kennedy are relaxing in the hotel in Beijing after a quieter day. They left Yangzhou and said goodbye one more time and headed to Beijing. They left around 11am and arrived in Beijing around 1:30pm.

They got to the hotel and than had something to eat. They went shopping at silk road and than had dinner.

Now they do their final packing...are watching TV in English and just relaxing. They are now getting into ..Let's head home mode.

It has been an incredible journey to Yangzhou and we cannot thank all the wonderful people who helped to make this possible for Kennedy. She would not have experienced all she did if not for you. For that we are so greatful.

I will post more pictures on the blog once James is home and we can download them from the camera...he has 4gig worth of pics...

They should arrive at Pierre Elliott Trudeau around 10:33pm Sunday night...they start their journey home...Sunday morning 4am our time....a long way but man was it worth it.

Hopefully one day we as a family can make the journey and bring all of our children to each of their provinces and towns and let them experience a little of what Kennedy and James have. We will need to take a 2nd mortgage to do it..considering the flight alone would cost about $12,000...so we need to win the lotto first...

Thank you for coming along with us on Kennedy's trip to Yangzhou...come back and visit as I will post more pictures.




Hugs,
Karen

  1. I have LOVED following Kennedy's journey! I am so proud as a recent "China mom" to see children from all over the world go back to their birthplace to celebrate and learn more of their heritage. I hope my Presley can someday return to China and that she grows up to be as fine of a young lady as Kennedy is!!

    And Kennedy's baby picture!!! What an amazing gift for her to receive!

  2. What an adorable picture!
    And yes, what an opportunity! I am so glad everyone pitched in so they could go!

    Hahaha! $12,000... I have NO FEAR that you will do it, and with pizzazz and style! Y'all are the queens and kings of Getting Things Done! 6 kids from there, putting together a reunion trip in a matter of weeks: what is a little tourist travel after accomplishing that!
