Mia taking a bubble bath. She is finally getting to be okay with taking a bath, especially since I let her bring all of the toys in with her. Please keep us in your prayers, Sherry and I are both not feeling well. Mia on the other hand is getting better. We are closing in on the end of the china journey, only 3 more days! I am ready to come home, as I know Sherry is also. Boys, we miss you very much and can't wait to see you! Will write more with more pics tomorrow. Bye from China.
This is the look that everyone needs to get used to. This is the look you get when you try to talk to Mia and she doesn't know you. She has eyes that can be as sweet as candy or cut like glass.













This is a picture of a huge ship that was handcraved out of Jade. It is in the lobby of our hotel.





More beautiful landscaping and garden areas. This is all along the streets. They even have landscaping like this along all of their interstates. They seem to take great pride in making sure the landscaping looks beautiful.






This is a picture of on of the streets in the area that we are staying. This is a kindof garden area that is in the median of the roads. The area we are staying in is an island. It is very European style and very beautiful. It is considered a tourist area. Our guide told us the way back, this area was ruled by the british and then the french. The hotel we are staying in, the White Swan, is extremely nice. This is the hotel that houses all of the american presidents, other countries politicans, and famous people. We have been eating most of our meals at a restaurant called "Lucy's Bar and Grill". It is the only "western food" around.







Wore out after a long day! Mia still doesn't like to goto bed, just like Haden! But she is finally sleeping alot better. She doesn't like to use a pillow, probably never used one before.

DOES MIA LIKE HER STROLLER? HANNAH LOVES HERS!! SHE GETS SO EXCITED WHEN WE GET IT OUT AND WILL SIT IN IT AND PUSH IT ALL AROUND THE HOUSE. SHE IS NOT DOING SO WELL. I THINK HER EAR IS WORSE. AND NOW BENJAMIN AND I ARE SICK TOO!! YEAH!! ALL THREE OF US HAVE FEVERS!! FUN TIMES AT THE KING'S HOUSE!! HAVEN'T GOTTEN MORE THAN 5-7 HOURS OF SLEEP OVERTHE PAST THREE NIGHTS. SO YOU CAN JUST GUESS WHAT KIND OF A MOOD I AM IN. IT IS SO HARD TO NOT BE SELFISH SOMETIMES AND JUST STAY IN BED ALL DAY. BEING A PARENT IS THE BEST AND THE HARDEST THING THAT I HAVE EVER DONE.... OTHER THAN GETTING MARRIED! HAHA!! MIA LOOKS GOOD! THAT LOOK IS VERY FUNNY. HANNAH JUST CRIES IF SOMEONE SHE DOESN'T KNOW TALKS TO HER. WELL, THE YOUNGEST CHILD IS CRYING SO I BETTER GO. HOPE YOU TWO GET TO FEELING BETTER. I KNOW HOW IT IS TRYING TO TAKE CARE OF A KID WHEN YO DON'T FEEL WELL. IT MUST SUCK NOT BEING HOME TOO!! NOT TOO MUCH LONGER.... TELL ME WHEN I CAN COME....

I'm not sure but I think that M.J. is taken. Michael Jorden? Magic Johnson ? But as tall as Chinese people get. Mia might make a name for herself along with the other two M.J.'s I'll take them any day over Mick Jagger!

I AM GOING TO TAKE THIS TIME TO PUBLICLY APPOLOGIZE ABOUT USING THE WORD "SUCK" IN MY LAST COMMENT. THAT WAS TOTALLY UNCALLED FOR AND UNNESSESARY. BOYS AND MIA.... YOU SHOULD NEVER SAY THE WORD "SUCKS" OR ANY OTHER BAD WORDS EVER. IF YOU DO, YOU WILL GET WRINKLES (LIKE ME) AND YOUR TEETH WILL MELT AND RUN DOWN THE BACK OF YOUR THROUT. THAT INCLUDS WORDS LIKE"STUPID", "DUMB", AND "DUDE".
HAD TO TAKE LITTLE BENJI BEAR TO THE ER LAST NIGHT. LEFT AT 6:30PM AND GOT HOME AT 1:00AM. GOOD TIMES!! LOVE YALL AND HOPE YALL ARE FEELING BETTER!
