tidbits from Jiangxi, China

Hi all...a hodge-podge of things floating around in my head. Thought I'd share:


-Kennedy is in her crib tonight. Rule of thumb: don't try to lay her down AFTER she's fallen asleep. Serious crying ensues...if you put her down happy, she may only need reassurance once or twice to settle. She fights sleep desperately. It takes her awhile, but once she's out, she's out cold!

-Marvin and I cannot get over the day she had today. Nothing but laughing and smiles. If this is her overall personality coming out, all I can say is WOW!

-She's starting sticking her fingers in her ears today. We'll keep an eye on that...she wasn't fussy at all so we'll keep our fingers crossed that it's nothing.

-She sucks the pointer finger on each hand...one at a time, which ever is closer. It is very cute. Only does this when she's tired. I sucked my thumb until grade 6...hope she doesn't keep it up that long.

-She is now ASLEEP in her crib and Daddy is asleep on the bed. Double knock-out.

-Yes, my friends, there is Pepsi in Nanchang...both can and plastic bottle...as usual, the can is better.

-Our hotel is 5 star and very nice here in Nanchang (which is in the province of Jiangxi). On Friday, we head back to Beijing...

-I just can't explain how much all these messages have meant to us. Besides looking at my daughter, it is the best part of my day when I read those messages. We feel so much love heading our way, it makes being so far away much easier. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We are TOTALLY feeling the love.

this is the lobby of our hotel...beautiful!
