Huang Hui Lei---Ella Huilei Goddard Catlin

Sally and Ella are going to China

Ella and I will be leaving for China on November 21st and arriving in Beijing on November 22nd. We will meet a group of other girls adopted from the Huanggang City Social Welfare Institute and their families.

Goodbye Salamanca

We are excited to come home and see family, friends and our house. Gabe threw a goodbye party with his group at University of Salamanca as is custom. They gave him a beautiful set of antique maps and a picture of the group. Jose and Ana took us out to a wonderful dinner of Octopus, Cuttlefish and Squid. They have been so good to us that it is hard to say goodbye so we say Hasta Pronto!

Chinese Lunch After the Walk

Great Strides Walk this Saturday

We wanted to thank everyone has donated to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation by making donations to Team Clay. We will miss seeing everyone at this years walk, but we will have our own family walk next to the River Tormes on Saturday. We want to thank those of you who have formed teams even in our absense.
Eliza, one our our kids best friends, had her 10th birthday party and asked for donations to CF from her friends instead of gifts.
My mom has conducted my usual letter campaign--sending out letters to my friends whose email I can't find, her friends and our extended family--thanks.

Clay has a Dr. appointment the day after return. We hope it will be a good visit.
