So we started off a little sluggish this morning and getting on the bus again didn't help. But I need to backup. She wasn't in to eating this morning so we came back up to the room. Well 45 minutes later when we were getting ready to leave I realize I've left my purse in the dining room...passport, camera, wallet all in there. Needless to say I wanted to throw up. Of course the elevator took an eternity and when I got there the hostess thank goodness understood I was looking for a purse and there it was in her stand...with everything in it. God was watching over me as I make what I'm sure won't be my first mistake while figuring all this out. Back to our day...we set off for Qingyan Town and it's an ancient city about an hour away. She feel asleep looking backwards out of the window and as you can see she feel asleep looking forward on the way home. She had a grip on that chair (and was holding a sippy cup) and every time I tried to sit her down she woke up. She eventually caved and leaned back for a nap. The city was interesting and lots of sights to see. I got Shelby the cutest Chinese outfit and we found a few other keepsakes. We came back for a late lunch and nap. Then it was time for dinner, bath, playtime, and bed. We have a free day tomorrow and will only be getting on the bus to go to Wal-mart...can't miss a trip there!

Jenny, bless your heart. Exhaustion will make us forget things....I left my passport wallet with EVERYTHING in it on the plane from Changsha to Guangzhou!!!! The guide and I ran back down the concourse and we got it. I KNOW that sick feeling dear!
Your posts are bringing back so many memories....I wish blogs had been around when we went; I got to email home ONE TIME with ONE PHOTO of us....times change quickly!
Love to the 3 of you.....
Does Shelby Marie from Tennessee understand English? I'm glad that you are having a good time being a 'new' mommy! Can't wait to see you and her sitting down front during Children's time. My prayers are continuing to be with you and Shelby M.
h as in Houston
What a fantastic trip this sounds like. First, I'm so happy about the first "lean" into you on Tuesday ! What a wonderful day and moment to remember. As we would say at my house - that was your gift for the day!
I'm also so interested in the part of China you are seeing and can't wait to hear more about it when you are home. It makes me want to go back and see more.
Thank you for taking the time to keep everyone back home updated - I know it is exhausting just to get what you have to done much less keep us posted - so THANK YOU!
Jenny, Shelby is absolutely precious! You can see her little personality just shining through. It sounds like you are doing such a great job as a mommy and bonding so quickly. Leah looks at Shelby's picture and asks, "Is that me, mommy?" We can't wait to meet her. Y'all are in our thoughts and prayers.
Love,
Alison, Doug, Tyler, and Leah
