</div>It has been one month since forever family day. I cannot believe it. It feels like it has been longer. We love him so much,but it has been a hard adjustment. We have been through chicken pox and a stomach virus. We went through a period of time when he would cry when Mama held him. We are now at the point where he reaches for Mama. He is comforable with his family now. He still wants to be held most of the time. He will get on the floor and play with toys for a few minutes at a time. He is 20 months old but not walking. He has taken a few steps but then he realizes it and sits down. He is still afraid to be walking but at least he is working on it. When we first met him, he refused the bottle and did not know how to drink from a cup. We gave him juice through a medicine dropper. We had to teach him how to use a straw and a cup. We have come along way in a month, but still have a long way to go. He spent 19 months in an orphanage. We expected delays and fear. We are taking it one day at a time. We have seen the doctor and his weight is 50th % of the American charts. The doctor says she is impressed by him overall. We see a surgeon next week to assess his hand. It sounds like surgery will help his hand. We are excited to know his hand will be repaired. We are excited he is our son. We hope families considering adoption realize the delays and fear are real. <br />

<br />
The kids have all enjoyed playing with their new toys. The girls have all enjoyed getting to know their brother. Their brother seems to enjoy getting to know them. It has been a great time for Austin to come home. All the girls out of school for winter break has allowed family bonding. <br />

</div>We did take some traditional photos in silk clothes. Austin did not like wearing the silk and did not like posing. We have several photos of tears. We also have a group photo of our travel group. We enjoyed getting to know the rest of our travel group. We also hope Austin was the only one to catch the chicken pox. Please enjoy and forgive me for being so late to post. <br />

We are Home !!!We did make it home Friday Dec 16. We were so jetlagged and tired. On Sunday, Austin broke out in a rash. By Monday, Austin was covered in the rash. Mama knew it was chicken pox, but hoped it was not. We went to the doctor to confirm. So our first week home was covered in pox. Austin has been very fussy and you can tell he is miserable. We are glad his sisters had the vaccine so hopefully they do not get sick. <br />

</div>So back to the journey home. We left Guangzhou on the train to Hong Kong. The train ride was with 11 other families we met on the trip. We had a 45 minute bus ride to our hotel after we got off the train. We spent one night at the hotel in the airport. We are glad it was for one night. The Regal hotel was overpriced and very basic. No luxury at all. We were so excited to be on the way home. We boarded the flight from Hong Kong to Chicago. We were dreading the 15 hour flight. Austin had already not done well on a flight. Austin fussed half the flight home. He would fall asleep then Daddy would move him and wake him up. We had bad turbulence so the plane shaking woke him also. Austin was so sleepy and could not stay asleep. There were several other families on the plane with small kids. When one kid started to cry, the others would join them. We were so ready to be in Chicago. At least the passenger seated next to us was from Malaysa and very friendly. He was nice about all the crying and moving around. Once we landed in Chicago, we had to go through customs and immigration. We had to turn in the famous brown envelope containing Austin's USA citizenship papers. We have heard horror stories about this process. We were lucky in Chicago. It did not take us very long and the people were very helpful and nice to us. We went through so fast we had a 2 hour layover remaining to board our Nashville flight. We sat in the terminal feeding Austin snacks to pass the time. He made several friends sitting there at the gate. Lots of people were interested in our story. We finally boarded our homebound flight. Austin slept the whole hour long flight. We got off the plane hoping to see our family waiting. We did not see anyone. Christy called to find out the traffic at the airport was bad and they were late. As we walked into baggage claim. our girls came running in to meet us. We were so glad to be home and see them. We rode home from the airport and got home to see the house decorated with Welcome Home signs. Christy's mom had cooked a nice hot meal and had it ready to eat. We were so blessed to be home. We were so blessed to have such wonderful family to help us through this journey. We appreciate all the prayers we have received. <a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-HAK9iD1AS_8/TvPQ6V9AJlI/AAAAAAAAAzo/qQMAaGOYZ6k/s1600/China+2011+122.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-HAK9iD1AS_8/TvPQ6V9AJlI/AAAAAAAAAzo/qQMAaGOYZ6k/s320/China+2011+122.JPG" width="320" /></a><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-W5m4wlWQLb0/TvPRIrvbJAI/AAAAAAAAAzw/Q_KS6o6wnxI/s1600/China+2011+130.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-W5m4wlWQLb0/TvPRIrvbJAI/AAAAAAAAAzw/Q_KS6o6wnxI/s320/China+2011+130.JPG" width="320" /></a><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-PGpIRACV5tY/TvPRPTUwGHI/AAAAAAAAAz4/nqqKAEGVEFY/s1600/China+2011+134.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-PGpIRACV5tY/TvPRPTUwGHI/AAAAAAAAAz4/nqqKAEGVEFY/s320/China+2011+134.JPG" width="320" /></a>Grummons Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17544099943799959819noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7991157154915680235.post-67640115764565788312011-12-14T04:54:00.000-06:002011-12-14T04:54:28.383-06:00Wednesday in ChinaToday we had our US Consulate appointment. We have no photos as cameras are forbidden inside. We all took an oath that our paperwork is true. We turned in all of the Chinese adoption paperwork. Tomorrow we will get back his Chinese passport with a USA visa in it. Once we land in Chicago he will be a US citizen. We leave for Hong Kong tomorrow afternoon once we get his passport and visa. Please pray the visa is processed on schedule and we get on that train. We are ready to get home. Today we packed up our bags and prepared for the long trip home. We need prayers for smooth and safe travels. We will be on a 16 hour flight with a 19 month old. We did not do much else today since we had to be up by 6 AM to be able to make it to our Consulate appointment on time. Austin and Daddy took a nap together and Mama worked on more paperwork and packing. Hooray Hooray it is packing time. We cannot wait to hug and kiss on our girls at home. 2 weeks is so long to be apart.Grummons Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17544099943799959819noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7991157154915680235.post-51863334096868410892011-12-13T22:06:00.001-06:002011-12-13T22:15:00.120-06:00Safari Park Tuesday<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj080ggqG6UO9eX4rE14IrKCEsChCco4NIYa6cF75ZpdgymqBzTXKHLyfzrUInKu0ENNXJmJi_bvQJdeT0p58aejqF0_8ZbVgW0k_yHsYO22-v373kEuG3ainWdnuKjzLRdjy4KyU-Q5eU/s1600/China+2011+007.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj080ggqG6UO9eX4rE14IrKCEsChCco4NIYa6cF75ZpdgymqBzTXKHLyfzrUInKu0ENNXJmJi_bvQJdeT0p58aejqF0_8ZbVgW0k_yHsYO22-v373kEuG3ainWdnuKjzLRdjy4KyU-Q5eU/s320/China+2011+007.JPG" style="clear: both; float: left; margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px;" /></a> Austin loved seeing all of the animals. We have another animal lover on our hands. This is a great thing since we are a zoo visiting family. He pointed and smiled at all he could see. He would get mad if the walk was too far between exhibits. <br />

They are the largest zoo in Asia and maybe the world. We spent all day at the park. They have a walking side and a riding side. There is a tram that drives you around on a 40 minute ride. We had a wonderful day at the safari park. <br />

He had so much fun looking at animals he would not sleep. Finally he fell asleep late in the afternoon for 5 minutes. He woke right back up and was mad he was missing the rest of the animals. He was a good boy and rode around in the Ergo carrier. He did fuss a little after missing nap but overall he was excellent. <br />

We stopped for a treat as we waited for the bus to pick us up. This ice cream was Pleasant Goat. This is a popular cartoon for Chinese children. In the bottom of the ice cream was a little Pleasant Goat toy.<br />

After we got back to the hotel it was 5:30 PM. We walked next door to McDonalds for a quick dinner. We ate with our new friends from Missouri. We had an early morning next day appointment for the Consulate so we planned to turn in early for the night. This was a great decision since Austin was so tired.<br />

After lunch, Christy went shopping with Ann of Red Thread. That was so much fun. Ann was wonderful and helped get a lot of deals. Monday night was the group outing on the Pearl River cruise. We ate Papa John's pizza on the boat. The cruise was very beautiful and relaxing. We enjoyed visiting the other Holt families. Austin continues to make progress each day. We feel the prayers. We are looking forward to progress we can make at home with his sisters. Photos will be posted soon.

He now lets Mama hold him. Mama carried him to breakfast and he sat in her lap the whole time. He is now more trusting of us and he is showing us smiles more often. He is even babbling more today. We do not understand much of what he says but we are happy he is trying to talk to us. He also seems to understand some English already. We are very blessed to have him and we are so thankful he is opening up to us. We cannot wait to introduce him to his sisters. We miss the girls so very much and we will be so happy to be together again. It is so much harder than we expected to be separated from our girls. We are counting down the days. We are very glad we experienced China and would love to come again one day with our girls. This is Austin's birth place and very special to us. We are so thankful China allowed us to adopt Austin. He completed our family and we are over the moon excited. Only better thing will be to have him home in Tennessee with the rest of our family. Girls we miss and love you more than you will ever know. </div><div style='clear:both; text-align:CENTER'><a href='http://picasa.google.com/blogger/' target='ext'><img src='http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif' alt='Posted by Picasa' style='border: 0px none ; padding: 0px; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial;' align='middle' border='0' /></a></div>Grummons Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17544099943799959819noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7991157154915680235.post-34787251001388574592011-12-10T20:49:00.002-06:002011-12-10T21:01:58.676-06:00Visa Medical Exam Day<div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhj8PSE7PSmYw84AF-0254uXlIOIdeceBUXr7dbRrsbSTNaa8Ys3VD3e7jMOaouEbPdS4ETSvuO5G3816k2L3YOq1uUaoKrAwJcYBbLyea288mfZ0I_M-usqE6MsyBfDVBRjxYnKAbl8ns/s1600/China+2011+008.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhj8PSE7PSmYw84AF-0254uXlIOIdeceBUXr7dbRrsbSTNaa8Ys3VD3e7jMOaouEbPdS4ETSvuO5G3816k2L3YOq1uUaoKrAwJcYBbLyea288mfZ0I_M-usqE6MsyBfDVBRjxYnKAbl8ns/s320/China+2011+008.JPG" /></a> </div>This was a doorman at our hotel in Changsha.

After we visited the White Swan, we headed back to our hotel. Mama had a paperwork meeting for the adoption process. Austin took a nap in the room with Daddy. After the meeting, our adoption group went to eat dinner at a local Chinese restaurant. The restaurant had a lazy susan in the middle of the table and they fed us family style. We got to visit other familes with our agency. It was nice to share a meal with people we had emailed before we left the USA. We had a lot of noodles and vegetables, but only a small amount of meat. Daddy left hungry. After we got back to the hotel, Mama decided we should go to McDonald's and have ice cream. Austin has never ate ice cream. Austin loved the ice cream and ate most of Mama's. After ice cream, we headed to the hotel for a bath and bedtime. Austin has still been upset when Mama carries him. We are hoping the ice cream and other special treats from Mama will help. Austin is very secure with Daddy.<br />

When we got on the plane Austin screamed and cried. We sat on the runway for awhile and Austin kept screaming until he fell asleep. He slept most of the way. I was very glad he slept for the hour long flight to Guangzhou. We checked in to China Hotel. We walked over to McDonalds next door to the hotel and had dinner. Austin decided he likes fries but did not like hamburger. We left McDonalds and headed to 7-11 to restock our snack and Coke supply. We headed up to the room for early bedtime. Austin is tired and we have a busy Saturday ahead. Austin still does not want Mama to hold him outside of the hotel room. We pray he continues to feel more secure with us so Mama can hold him more. We are taking it one step at a time. He has gone through a lot of changes in his short life.Grummons Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17544099943799959819noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7991157154915680235.post-86397339503749447702011-12-08T01:28:00.000-06:002011-12-08T01:37:47.615-06:00Pictures part 4Sorry there is a lot of posts today, we could only put so many pictures on each post.

There are ladies there that work on pieces to show you how the embroidery is done. Hunan province is known for their embroidery. The work is beautiful but oh so expensive. We left the museum to head over to Martyrs Park. It is a huge park with different areas. There is a lake area with boat rides available. There is an amusement park with rides for children. There is a monument. The Chinese people use the park for morning exercises but we were too late to see these. We enjoyed walking around taking in the sights. Austin held Daddy's hands and walked around for a bit. He is trying to do more each day as he gets more comfortable with us. Austin wants to be with Daddy outside of the hotel, but today he did allow Mama to carry him some at the park. We fed the fish in the park. Austin wanted to eat the fish food, so Mama fed the fish. Austin enjoyed watching the fish come up out of the water to eat. We returned to the hotel for lunch and a nap. Austin is a great sleeper. He also enjoys playing inside the hotel room. Tomorrow we fly to Guangzhou to complete the US side of the adoption. We are looking forward to moving on with the process so we can return home to our girls. We miss them very much and they want to meet their brother. We have enjoyed touring the province of Austin's birth. The people are very friendly and interested in our story. Hope you enjoy the photos. We are still having to post photos separately.Grummons Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17544099943799959819noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7991157154915680235.post-63433846072728786392011-12-07T00:52:00.000-06:002011-12-07T00:52:47.929-06:00Free Day in HunanIt is cold and raining here today. We went to the Hunan Provincial Museum this morning. It has a 3,000 year old mummified woman. The woman is very well preserved and you can see her. She is not wrapped in cloth like most mummies. They have artifacts to see. We did not stay very long. Austin was tired and ready for a nap. He is having a harder time today. He gets upset when Mama holds him today. He only wants Daddy. He is still a great eater. He does have a cough so I think he does not feel well. Austin seemed to be very serious and sad looking in the taxi over to the museum. On the way back, I asked our guide to tell Austin that we are not going back to the orphanage that we are taking him with us back to the hotel. Once the guide reassured him that we are going together, he seemed to smile again. Back in the hotel, he played and laughed out loud. He started saying some words we do not understand. His orphanage spoke a local dialect, so Austin does not understand Mandarin Chinese. He ate noodles and fed Mama some of his noodles. It feels good that he is not totally rejecting me. It is normal for adoptive kids to favor one parent then another. This all will pass with time. Another good thing that happened for him today was his first dirty diaper with us. It is a good sign that he is becoming more comfortable with us. We are taking baby steps. We plan to order Pizza Hut delivery to the hotel to stay out of the rain. We also want to try the Chinese version of pizza. We have experienced some real Chinese food. Much to our surprise, the Chinese food we eat in Tennessee is not even available here in China. We are on an adventure of a lifetime. We miss our family at home so much. We have completed our family with Austin. We are very thankful for grandparents at home taking care of our girls. Without them, this adoption would have not been possible. We love all of you at home and in a little over a week we will head back home. We are so looking forward to being together as a family of 6.Grummons Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17544099943799959819noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7991157154915680235.post-80698494733490723622011-12-06T00:41:00.000-06:002011-12-06T00:47:10.965-06:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEja1ff48_z-CZNu3SgqO02fgzBE_ToHg565S0uf8ElRJvJ7GCFdNbKlVkeY5kJVCljEytNpUG_aHyumJPsepfrsiie0K_K4157fAn2LdVAJBfbT9UoHtaPZGiwZMTBtaoru8txRf91Xeik/s1600/China+2011+003.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; FLOAT: left; CLEAR: both" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEja1ff48_z-CZNu3SgqO02fgzBE_ToHg565S0uf8ElRJvJ7GCFdNbKlVkeY5kJVCljEytNpUG_aHyumJPsepfrsiie0K_K4157fAn2LdVAJBfbT9UoHtaPZGiwZMTBtaoru8txRf91Xeik/s320/China+2011+003.JPG" /></a> This is from our first night together.

We took a family photo to put on the adoption certificate. We certified the adoption by answering questions like do we like him and do we want to be his parents. We put our thumbprints and his right hand print on the paperwork. He was then officially Austin James YuYang. We are finished with the Chinese side of the adoption. We go back on Friday to pick up his passport and travel to Guangzhou to finish the USA side. We are beyond excited. We left the adoption office and headed to Carrefour market. It is like Walmart. We had to buy Austin shoes. We did not know what size to bring and what he came to us in are falling apart. We actually lost one trying to carry him to finalize today. We bought him new shoes and a new sippy cup. We cannot get him to take the bottle. He has decided he is a big boy. He has started walking today as long as Daddy holds his hands. He will not let go yet. Trust is building. As a matter of fact at the adoption office, one of the orphange caregivers reached out to hold him and he cuddled up to Daddy and shook his head NO. He has accepted us as Mama and Daddy. He wants us close by. We are thanking God today as we can feel the blessings. We thank you all for the prayers. Austin is doing beautifully. Photos will be in a separate post as attaching them to the regular posts does not work. The internet connection we have is so slow it cannot handle it. Photos from today will be posted soon.Grummons Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17544099943799959819noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7991157154915680235.post-57740740594898010342011-12-05T23:30:00.000-06:002011-12-05T23:39:12.290-06:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpEbf9q7B0doE71zoEM1WPDUBdaSrPGyp66Ln7yMZabLZuHyeMqz3pkWEsqAkJ9LbXvI3iNPSp-7JerfC4jHIOrSJfsFYn-DRNofq_3JpUhUZfbUSyUHdeUoBYWJ6GfPyrxROwkFL77Es/s1600/China+2011+002.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px;

We found out they were stuck in traffic. Around 4 PM local time which was 2 AM at home, they arrived. The caregiver walked in with him. He looked beautiful. They had him dressed in a tradional Chinese New Year oufit. He came right to Mama and did very well with me. Then we tried going to Daddy and Austin cried so much he came back to Mama. On the van ride home, Daddy tried again. Austin sat happily in Daddy's lap. After we headed in the hotel, Austin was happy with both of us. We came in and filled out adoption paperwork. Austin played with toys we gave him. Mama noticed it was time to change his diaper. When we took off the thick outfit, his diaper was so full it had leaked through. Austin cried about being undressed and getting a new diaper. After he had dry clothes on he was good again. He continues to play and smile. We even just went out to dinner at the hotel restaurant to try that out. He sat in the high chair and ate very well. We are so blessed. Things are going better than expected. We pray for continued success. And now for what you all are here to see ... photos. <br />

We checked in late last night. We have had breakfast at the hotel buffet. The buffet was very nice. We will not get Austin until 3 PM local time since his orphanage is 4 hours from the adoption office. We are so anxious to meet him. We also miss our family at home very much. It is very hard to be away from our girls. We look forward to being together soon. Please continue to pray for all of us during this time. Prayers are felt and appreciated.<br />

It started out with a 2 hour delay in leaving Nashville due to a mechanical issue with our plane. We were scheduled a 3 hour layover in Chicago to connect to our Hong Kong flight and I was starting to worry. We finally arrived in Chicago, ran to the tram to take us to the international terminal. We had to go through security again and TSA were so ugly in Chicago. I got put the whold body scanner twice. In Nashville I was allowed to wear my money belt. In Chicago they took it from me out of my sight then pat me downed so much I was in tears. I could not see our money and I was really upset. We had just a few minutes to find our gate and make our connection. I prayed and prayed that we would make it and our money was intact. Prayers were answered and we made it to the gate in time. Then we had to even have our backpack carryons weighed. I could not believe our bad luck. Then we boarded the flight and we were sitting with a lage Australian man in a three seat row. The flight started out bad as that man said something to Jim about our backpack under the seat in front of him. We were worried it would be an even longer 16 hour flight with complainer beside us. A few rows ahead of us was a mom and grandmom with twin American babies and one cried half the flight. At least once we were in the air, the Aussie drank red wine and whiskey until he fell asleep. He did not bother us anymore. The Cathay Pacific flight crew were very nice, he had plenty to eat and drink, nd we had personal TV's that played all kinds of movies and TV shows. We even had games to play on the screen. It was a long time to sit, but we made it. It was easy to navigate the airport and get to our hotel for one night. We are at Skycity Marriott. It is a nice hotel and it is decorated for Christmas. We plan to tour the Peak in Hong Kong since our connecting flight to Hunan is not until late Sunday afternoon. We will add photos of the Skycity and the Peak sometime soon. Just wanted to post an update and let fellow families waiting to travel that weighed carryons can happen. <br />
