Saturday

Hey! Sorry still no pics but working on it as we have time! And what little time we have! WHEW I have forgotten what alot of work a baby is :>) Especially in a hotel room. She had a major screaming fit today but it was a small one and I think she was overtired. The rest of the day she was all smiles!

We went to an old part of Chongqing today where the buildings were from the Ming dynasty. Ryan will fill us all in what exactly that is..heehee....It was exactly how you would picture China from the movies we have seen. Cobblestone streets with merchants selling all kinds of interesting things. The food actually smelled pretty good but we were all afraid to try it. It was very crowded and there were many university students walking around. Some girls took to us and talked to us about America. They were majoring in English and wanted to be guides for tourists like us. We bought a few toys that the boys wanted....weapons of course....2 Asian dresses for Jade and 2 pretty paintings for her room. It was very hot and muggy so we couldnt wait to get back to the AC and a spaghetti lunch!

Tomorrow we visit the pandas at the zoo. 3 more days and we're off to Guanzghou for 4 days then home next Friday! A special thanks to Genie Mom for helping us with the flight home. We arrive Friday night in Tampa at midnight. Dreading the trip already!!!!!!

Hope everyone has a great weekend and send us some notes on what your all doing!

XOXOXOXOXO

I love reading your updates - it seems like you all have been gone for a month! Marta finished your house yesterday...everything looks fantastic. Today we have T-Ball then the "Nutt"house is coming over for dinner and a movie...King Kong. (A nice, soothing flick for the kids to watch before bed!) Give Jade a big hug from the Millers and hopefully we will hear more from you soon!

We are all just up to the usual running around. We are all going to be happy when Coach Mike is back:)!! We can't wait till you guys get home! Jade is just too cute in every picture I see of her. I keep giving Scott the doe eyes about a little girl, but he's not falling for it yet. We miss you guys!!!
