Hi Guys.....
What a trip....what a story to one day tell your children about!
I am so glad that Vicky made you walk the 15ft to the Doctor! Way to go Vick!!! I was sorry Daniel that you did not get to climb the mountian....next time perhaps.

Roxi, Joe, Heidi and I have ALL been following your blog....Joe was over last week and took his time after dinner reading it. Heidi and I often read it together and we LOVE sharing it. Roxi often calls me to share her views. Having told you all that I do trust that they will find time to drop you a note.

Dad was trying to blog today and called to see why he was having troubles....I still see nothing from him...so something must have continued to go wrong.

I have some family picture I am going to post tonight...so by the time you get home to China I hope you get to see them.

Have a great flight home...stay well darling so mother will not be to worried. Who knew that you would ever live till thirty and then go globe-trotting...so I guess a fever or allergy reaction here and there is not soooo bad!!! Especially after all you were through as a little guy.

I love you very dearly son, claim you for HIS kingdom, as promised to Dad and I. You are ever in our hearts. While talking to dad to day we both went to the blog, looked at the pics together...then Dad said to me..."He is such a great boy, sure wish I could give him a great big hug right now!!" Aint dat sweet!

Blessing to your and your darling....xoxoxoxoxox
Mother Standring.

Hello Again Dan & Vik

Thank you both for taking the time to share it all with us. How neat to look at the pictures....and I might add to the family...it is worth double clicking on them and seeing them large. The detail is fantastic.

Vicky you look so glowing..something very wonderful about your aura in all the pictures. Keep yourself protected from that hot sun....you need to drink lots and eat plenty! I do trust that Daniel is being very kind and tender.

How nice for you Daniel, you express your amazement.....especially the vastness of size in all that you see...and pictures can never do justice to the emotion felt!

I have some pictures I am posting tomorrow....so nice to have a valentine dinner with all the girls,,,(except Vicky, next time maybe)...spondsored by Daddy....I sure hope all the girls remember to call him and tell him what a great meal we had too.

Imagine two new grandbabies to be born in 2010.......Only thing better, then that, would be three!!! Hey anythings possible.

My love to you two...and congratulation....on your travels...thus far!

Mother, xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxXOxoxoxo

My Darling Son

I DID read your posting in order>...(To all others...start at the bottom and read up)...It was wonderful to follow your trip!

I can only dream of how exciting it is to touch and feel those ancient stones. Your pictures are so appreciated...I look every day.....and am filled to the brim with excitement when you have left your trail!

I got a real kick out of some of your photography tricks ....my favorite being Vicky picking up the pyramids....Every pictures emits such joy and happiness. it was interesting to hear you tell about how dirty the city was and it made me so glad that you saw it before you decided to go there to work!

I adored the pictures of the children. Take as many as you can....I would love to do a photo book on children from around the world....from the places you have been. I especially love the elementary group. Remember the one you took of the children in the rain...on your travels last year. Get a few up-close...to show their beauty!!! Oh I wish I could be with you as your personal photographer.

The boat trip sounded amazing...tell Vicky when I see her again I shall be asking her how she solved the no bathroom dilema!! LOL!

The train ride sounded hairy....but I must say it was nice that you could sleep through it all. I was pleased that you did capture at least one shot. Did you take any pics inside the train?

Oh Daniel, it great that you have Vicky to share it all with. I really think we will see you both this summer cause Dad and I are planing to be out for some of our summer...want to be there for the birth of Baby Standring...and I will be waiting for a SLIDE show and BIG presentation on all of this....smile, smile.

Meantime do keep our appetite wet and keep on posting. I know that you have expressed how LONG it takes to gives us a peek.....but for us on this end of the globe....it means so much!!!

I will return the favor too.....Tomorrow we are having a dinner here at Heidi....and Sunday, Valentines day...Daddy has asked me to have something special for his girls and grand kiddies....So I am taking them bowling and then out for Chinese food(Canadian style). The girls as soooo pleased and excited....it was darling of Dad to send us all such a awesome gift too!

I will post, on Monday, you and of course Daddy some pictures of our events .

Until then...I await your new patch of travels pictures.....

Lovingly, Mother..xoxoxoxox
