Echo arrives from Hong Kong

Echo Poon was our Guide in China and is located in Hong Kong with ISS. She was being honored in Chicago this week at a Gala for Lifelink Adoption. There was a reception in Springfield last night to meet up with her. The agency originally thought that there would be about 30 people who would show up. There was 240 people there! It was so neat to see the families there and all of the lives that this woman has touched. I was hoping that my niece would be there, too, but they didn't make it. ISS has many wonderful guides and we also had Ginny who is no longer with ISS, but Echo is an amazing woman. The ISS staff do everything for you in China and are there if you need them at any time of day or night! What was so neat was seeing the older girls 8-15 there. I was just imagining Carly, Karli, Kailee and Anna still getting together and being buddies.

Robin, Michelle and Heidi came and it was fun meeting up with them for dinner, too. The only bad part of the day was that Logan was up a few times vomiting in the night! He has not done that since he was a very young boy! OMG....YUK. He is fine today....SO FAR, but I am still wondering what is next around here!
