Yesterday our guide Judy came on picked us up and we headed to Shamian Island. Its a local attraction with lots of shops. Its very beautiful. The buildings do not look Chinese at all. They are much more European looking. We loved walking around and were able to get a lot of our souvenir shopping taken care of.
It seems to be sort of a tradition for adopting families to take their child's picture with these statues. Brennan was more than happy to stand there and pose for us.
Keith took this on the island too. We were laughing bc when we look at the pics we have taken Keith loves to take scenery pictures. I don't think I have one. All I care to take pics of is B!
When we left the island we decided to stop at a Mexican restaurant. It was a very nice change of pace. We enjoyed it very much but it is no Mi Pueblo by any means;)
After that we just came back to the hotel so Brennan could get a nap. When he woke up we went out walking for a while. I don't actually know where we were going or what we had in mind to do we just walked and ended up back at a hotel restaurant for supper.
This is what at least a half an hour of our night consists of. He is loving playing in the bath. He will take these little bottles and throw them in the water and then pick them up and put them back on the side. It goes on and on and on. If you look at the pics you can tell how hard he concentrates to get them sat back on the edge just right;)
This guy is cracking us up all the time. (Btw remember in Nanchang when I started laughing and couldn't stop. That never ended. I am still non stop laughing. I am not sure the cause but I think it maybe exhaustion. I really have no idea. It's kind of fun though.) If he thinks you think something is funny he will do it over and over again. Its hilarious. He is making all kinds of sounds now. He is a little more demanding now. I think he is starting to figure out if he cries we will run and get whatever he needs;) He still rarely cries though. In a day I am sure he laughs more than he cries.
We are ready to say goodbye to China and hello to our home and children. Although there is a bittersweet feeling to it. It will be kind of sad to take B away from his home land but we are taking him with us and are promising to turn him into one of the most loved children there ever was;) That's what I keep telling myself!!!
Mags, Connor, and Sam,
Our chain only has 2 links left on it, right? That means Daddy, and B, and I are almost on our way back home. Today we are going to a toy market to see if we can find some toys for you all. We can't wait to get home and see you. Love you all.
