Hello everyone, well it is day 2 with Mia. It was a very long nite. Although she played and was happy most of the night, when it was time for bed, she wasn't a happy camper! We know it will take her time to adjust to sleeping in a different place. As you can see, this is her crying when Sherry is trying to get her down for a nap. Todpuay, we went to a park in the middle of the city. It was very beautiful. The Chinese people seem to take great pride in their landscaping. It is absolutely beautiful. Very symetrical and orderly. After the park, we took her to the local zoo. Our guide told us that she has probably never been to the zoo before, or even seen different animals. She was very taken by the monkeys. Our guide tells us that this is because she was born in the year of the Monkey. Before the park, we had to goto a department store to buy her shoes to wear. She didn't like putting them on at all. After showing her that she couldn't walk around unless the shoes were on, she gave in a wore them. Now she likes them. She seems to be walking fairly well, although, she does show signs of not having been walking very long. Very unsteady. Probably because of the hip surgery and being in a cast for awhile. I believe that she will be fine, she is walking more and better today than yesterday. She got another bath when we came back to the hotel, and this time she didn't cry the whole time. When we came back to our room this afternoon, we meet a couple from Connecticut across the hall from us. They had just recieved a 7 month old little girl, their first. Very exciting. I believe that there is 5 or 6 couples on our floor who are adopting. Princess Linda, I can't believe how much Mia looks like you! Even though she is Chinese, you both smile and laugh the exact same way! Our guide told us since Linda is all ready the "princess" of our family, that Mia would need to our "empress". Will post more pictures later. Nate,Alex,Jacob, and Haden, remember that we love each of you very much and miss you. We can't wait to bring Mia home to be with you'll. Thank you Rodney and Linda! It is a real blessing knowing that our boys are being taken care by you while we are so far away. To everyone at Southeast Flooring, thank each of you for your hard work and dedication, without each of you, I wouldn't have been able to come on this incredible journey with Sherry. To all of our friends and family, please continue to pray for us. Pray that Mia will continue to draw closer to us each day and that we will have good travel in the upcoming days. Talk to you later!
