Aug 8th and 9th

It has been a busy busy time so far. I have used several squatty potties (I would have taken a picture, but was afraid of dropping something in it), visited a jade factory, the Bird's Nest and The Cube where the Olympics took place, watched an AMAZING acrobat show, and climbed the Great Wall. Momma went all the way up, I on the other hand said no way, and sat and waited for her. The steps are very uneven and steep. The 2 days of tours in Beijing were great. It cost us about $75 U.S. each --not bad at all. We also had 2 Chinese lunches. (The fish picture was from one of our lunches.) I was not brave enough to try it.

We flew today into Zhengzhou, Henan. We exchanged money at a bank and went to Wal-Mart for supplies. Let me tell ya, it is a mile there and a mile back to good ole WM. I told mom that if I had to walk to our Wal-Mart I certainly wouldn't buy as much stuff! (the chicken picture is from Wal-Mart)

Our guide Yisha gave us a paper today that had little snippits about our children. I found out that Mia likes little dogs and cats and likes to chase them. She also claps her hands and shakes her body while listening to music. She is afraid of seeing lots of strangers--That one will be a big one- especially tomorrow. She is walking now.

We came back from Wal-Mart to find the crib in the room. It seems very real now. We get our children at 10 am tomorrow.
