first friday in China


Today we were taken to Walmart to get more supplies (bottled water - a lot of it since we have to use it for everything; loads of diapers because we don't know when we'll get to a store to get more until we leave; formula, etc.). The Walmart here is so different from those in the USA. This one is monstrous! There were these escalators that you take your grocery cart onto - the wheels lock-in to the escalator ramp thing. Wild times. It was very crowded - like at Christmas time in the USA...

Two dads and 2 baby girls. Ed and Lauren and Matthew and Faith. There are two dads that travelled solo to get their daughters (their mom's stayed home with other children). Matthew is one of those dads! He says he wants 10 kids (Faith is their 4th) 'but my wife said we stop at 5.'
Two 'solo' dad's with Ed and their baby girls. Tom, Matthew and Ed. Our daughters are all about the same age - all from Chenzhou CWI.


Cherry blossom baby

The Greatest Treasure in China (soon coming to the USA):


We are getting some practice with diaper changes.... during which she does 
her favorite Yoga pose: Happy Baby Pose.

She loves this little lamb blanket that we sent in her care package. She has to have it when she has her bottle.

She loves her feet and watching her hands.
