Daddy in china......

Hello Miranda my little wunchie, from China...Daddy misses you and thinks about you a lot every day! I got to spend the past weekend up on the Tibetan Plateau, the highest plateau in the world (referred to as the "roof of the world"), and I wished that you and mommy could have experienced it with me. As I looked at the little Tibetan girls in their pretty little dresses I imagined you adorned in all those beautiful colors, jumping up and down, playing with your Tibetan and Chinese friends...it has been a great picture of peace and reconciliation for me to ponder. We're back in the city of Chengdu at the moment, a city of about 10million people, a huge metropolis, big contrast to the placid scenery over the weekend. One funny thing is that my colleague Greg's nephew Christian is living and working here in Chengdu with our investment company, and he speaks good Mandarin. When I showed him your picture on the blog, he said "Woon...Chie" as if it were a Chinese word...he said it really looked like that....we laughed and I explained the nature of the nickname to him. Anyhow, wanted to say that I love you, that I miss you and mommy, and I look forward to coming home to you soon. Here are a couple of pictures for you to enjoy.....will add more soon....can you find China on your globe with mommy and say a prayer for me?..love.....

Daddy

Daddy,

I'm so happy that you are having fun in China! The pictures are gorgeous, and I hope that someday you will take me there. But, I miss you very much and I hope that you come home soon. Be careful, and remember that I love you, Daddy!

Hugs & kisses,
Munchie

Wow. I must have missed a memo. I had no idea Billy was heading to China. Gorgeous photos. Safe travels and we'll look forward to hearing about it.
