Good Morning! It's 630am here and I am up already. Everyone else
is sleeping . Paul will be up shortly because he is excited to
see if he can get the College Basketball final on our laptop to
watch.
I was so tired last night I forgot to mention what a great time
Samantha and Emma had swimming. We were at our guide Jack’s
pool. The girls were not too crazy about wearing the bathing
caps but they had no choice and after a while they thought it
was funny.
Today we have a free day. Our hotel has a play room for the
young kids which we will visit. When we received updated
pictures on Grace from our agency prior to coming to China they
showed Grace standing. We have tried to see if she will stand or
try walking holding on to our fingers. NO WAY she does not want
to stand or try walking. She is 14 months now and we knew she
would be a little delayed and will work on standing and walking
when we come home. She is a great sleeper !!! She falls asleep
around 8ish and sleeps the entire night. One or two nights she
woke up and needed a bottle but otherwise she has slept thru.
Grace love tangerines but we think the acid is giving her a rash
on her cheeks. We took it away yesterday and her face looks
better. She loves banana’s and watermelon and cereal with warm
milk. We are trying to keep her diet simple for a while since
she is not yet used to our favorite menu of Lasanga and garlic
bread.
My friend Meghan and I left the husbands and kids and did a
little shopping by ourselves this afternoon. Both of us had to
buy a small piece of luggage on wheels to hold all the stuff we
were buying. We both were great at convincing each other to buy
this and buy that, it was so much fun and the Chinese girls are
very friendly and helpful. Paul was out of the room when I
returned and I was relieved I don’t think if he would have been
thrilled to see another piece of luggage coming thru the door.
I just asked Paul what he misses the most – his response “seeing
food without heads on it” ..me , I miss my family , my friends
and my home. I even miss our dogs Sunshine and Cody. Looking
forward to Saturday when we fly home.
Goodnight. |
