It's ALL GOOD!

Well, It's 1:30 p.m. on Monday and things are great! After our lovely travel day on Saturday, and a rough night for Jin Tao sleeping due to his coughing, yesterday and today has been great. One of the other mom's traveling with us had some cold medicine for Jin Tao so we gave it to him and he had a great night sleep. Yesterday, we had pretty much of a free day, except that we had to get a passport photo taken for Jin Tao and we did dinner with the other Special Needs mom's which was great. It was good to see everyone finally with there families and our journey of adoption almost done.

I had to go shopping yesterday to buy more warm clothes for the kids, which is ok, because clothes are really cheap here, and to be honest with you, buying little boy clothes is really kinda fun. After the photo and dinner we got back to the hotel room at about 7:00 p.m. and it was just amazing! I am pretty sick, so I was exhausted and was laying on my bed and all of the sudden Jin Tao and Mei Mei just started playing together. And not just playing together, I mean really "getting it". It was the first time that me and Steve didn't have to "watch" to make sure everyone played fair or that if there was a language barrier we could help, they just...had a blast. They were running around, chasing each other, jumping on the beds, falling off and just having a great time. It was then that we realized that Mei Mei really did need someone her own age to have fun with.

This morning, Jin Tao had his physical, which was just fine. It was a little weird though, cause they took a measuring tape and measured his scare from the surgery to remove his kidney. He did not like them touching it at all...but he did just fine and we passed with flying colors. After that breakfeast together and playing downstairs in the play room, then back up to our room for bath time and a nap. I have pics below and we'll be taking more. To say the least, we are really ready to come home. We have missed everyone so much. Well, I'm done for now...Update again soon!



This is the universal language for "I HAVE TO POOP". Steve was watching the kids while I ran down to find some clothes and "thank GOD" Jin Tao waited until I left to give this little blessing to his Baba.


This child can eat and then he can drink...alot. This is the nastiest stuff in the world though, but he loves it.


Here we are at the photo shop getting Jin Tao's pic taken.

This was part of last nights fun times!





After their bath this afternoon, they were eating a snack and as you can see, Jin Tao is looking a little tired!

Hey your right that is the universial sign for poop...Graice knows it well..

Okay one shopping tip....Go down the street from the White Swan and when you get to Lucy's, there is an alley across the street. Go down the alley and about 300 yards you will see a store on the left. I forget the name of it (Lisa probably remembers) but this guy is an open Christian. We were walking down the block one day and he approached us and told us about his faith in God. The same thing happend to another family here in Orlando. He is a great guy and I think Steve would get a kick out of talking with him. Oh and he also sells suitcases, which I bet you will need to bring home all the new stuff you are buying. And he sells some pretty cool kites...

Love you guys and we will see ya soon...
