A day for Joy!
Here are some photos of the day Joy came to our family! :)
We arrived at St. Lucy's Center a bit early. The hotel told us that it would take about 20 minutes to get there but actually made it in about 10.
I recorded the ride to St. Lucy's too, but have not watched it yet. It was an interesting ride, especially driving don the alley ways of Tainan.
It was very nice and mostly calm there.
St. Lucy's had a very nice court yard too.
We walked up the steps and waited on one of the benches. They told us that Monday was cleaning day so it would be a few minutes before they would be ready for us. We apologised for being a bit early but it was really no problem for them. It gave us time to relax, take a few photos and talk with the translator for awhile.
Here is Mommy and Happy Grace!
More photos of St. Lucy's.
This is the waiting room where they would be eventually be bringing Joy. They were giving her a bath at this time.
The room had a nice play area too. Grace had fun trying out the toys!
...and then she was...our Joy!
First family photo. Well, the nurse is not "really" family...but you understand.
Our Translator with Joy, Mommy and Grace.

Some of the care takers with Joy.

Grace did some bonding with her new sister too.

Tainan Photos
Here are some photos from Tainan. We arrived a day before we were to get Joy to get some photos and see the city where Joy was born.
Here is Grace after we got off the high speed train...she was very excited!
The train station was not too big and easy to get around. Many people were taking the train.
This is our room in Tainan. The room was pretty big and we were on the 24th floor. Apparently this in the executive floor. That's Grace sleeping on the bed. She was so tired from the trip already.
These next 3 photos are views from our room in Tainan.
Here is the view from our floor looking down to the breakfast area. We had our own elevators used only for special floors. The room was not that expensive but we felt like VIPs :)
Photo opportunity with a huge kitty. We decided to walk around Tainan to take in the sites. We walked, and walked, and walked!
Another beautiful street in Tainan.
We happened upon a temple/old fort so we decided to take a self guided tour.
No, Grace was not in a "time out." I told her to look through the door for a cute photo.
See..."Happy Grace!"
Some interesting driving in Taiwan!
We bought Joy some keep sake on this side street we found. We were son tired by this point from walking but it was worth it.
Another great photo in a Tainan alley.
Of the three hotels we stayed at in Taiwan, this hotel was the only one that had a Bible in the drawer...New Testament only. It was in English and Chinese.
