Day 2: New Day

Today, 10/28/12, we leave at 1130 for ND. Driving here is terrifying. Oh. My. Our driver got lost. Its funny how with the language difference you can still tell whats going on. We finally arrived to new day at 1:20. We were greeted by Grace, New Days medical director. She is very sweet. Turns out she knew Levi when he was an infant in the orphanage and would take him special formula to help him live. New Day supplies formula to several orphanages. They have a wonderful ministers. We went to the children's section of ND and Levi was with his nanny, Cora, waiting for us. It was nap time so all the other children were sleeping. They took us to the play room and Levi came right us. We gave him a gift bag full of goodies which he loved. Samuel, who had been so excited to meet Levi w became more interested in the toys! Lol. Poor little guy hasn't had toys to play with in 4 days! But he would keep coming over to Levi and pat him saying, " My friend, Levi." He gave him the sweetest kiss. After about 30 minutes they put Levi down for his nap and we went on a tour. Before we left Grace went over all Levi's medical need sand supplied us with enough Meds for a month! They also gave us a cd full of pictures of Levi! And a plastered hand print. We will treasure these. We left at 2:30 to head to the airport. Our flight was delayed so we didn't fly out until 6:15. We arrived Arrived to Hohhot and 7:30 and 8:30 to hotel. Levi will leave ND tonight as well, with Cora. They will take a 10 hour train ride to Hohhot to meet us. We get a lot of stares from the Chinese people having a large family. It has been interesting to watch. They are either very friendly or very rude. They are very intrigued with Meg and Samuel. Many are surprised we have a Chinese boy who is healthy. They know this because they come right out and ask. Lol. But they think he is very cute. Especially since we continues to tell everyone about Levi!
