Good Morning Everyone, I still am not completely on China time, I'm writing this at 5:30 in the morning and most of you know this is not an hour that I usually see. Yesterday was a wonderful day. I'm behind on my journal because I wrote yesterday's journal 3 times. It kept disappearing on me, Abbi got to see Mommy's first fit! We had the breakfeast buffet again, but Abbi didn't really want anything this morning. We sat with some new people and I think it bothered her a little, she wasn't quite herself. After breakfeast, we went to the People's Park. It was gorgeous! This city has such a green thumb.
 We saw people dancing and singing and practicing tai chi. Abbi and I dressed in costumes and had our picture made. She was such a good sport, it didn't bother her a bit.
 We left the park and went to an outdoor market called the Senior's Market. I could have stayed there all day, but unfortunately, my traveling buddies didn't feel the same. Abbi would have stayed with me, she loves the stroller. I put her to sleep once again. To the side of the flea market was a produce market....the smell here was a little more that we could stand. I wanted to look longer, but the others (especially Brian and his issues with smells) were ready to get out of there. They eat some very interesting things. We ate lunch while Abbi slept in her stroller. She continued to sleep once we got to the room and her nap was over 2 hours long today. She awoke happy and ready to play. She laughed and was so precious. God is answering our prayers. She is a healthy, sweet, precious baby, with an adorable personality.
 I can't wait for everyone to meet her. She had Ramen noodles for lunch and loved them....just like her big brother. She also drinks water very well and loves coke! Afterwards, we stayed in the room for a bit until she got a little fussy, so we decided to go for a walk. It was incredibly hot, so we thought we would try the pool. Bad idea! She looked adorable in her swimsuit, but would not have anything to do with the water and went straight to her Daddy.
 Brian was loving life. It was the first time she wouldn't come to me from him. I hope we can get her out of this fear of the water, she's a member of a water family now!!!
 We didn't do much else today. She stayed around the hotel and had pizza again. She played and Brian talked with some new friends in the hall. They are all being rejected by their daughters right now! This is quite a group, you would have to hear them! We're really enjoying making new friends. Three times when people have asked us where we're from they have said the exact thing, "We would never have guessed!" I wonder why? Do you think our good looks are giving us away? (ha! ha!) I'm going to try and sleep a little longer now. I sure hope I can. I'm still getting really sleepy during the day, but I'm not taking naps. Even so, I wake up really early.
Baby I miss you so much and I can't wait to get back home to you. Daddy and I both need a great big hug from our little buddy! We love you so much. Have you thought of anything else you would like for us to bring you from China? We love everyone and appreciate your prayers so very much. Please don't stop!!
All our love,
