Our Greatest BLESSINGS Call Us Mommy & Daddy

24 October 2010

Museum Time

Today we enjoyed the Folk Art Museum and Chen Family Temple.  It was nice and full of history.  Our guide Helen is just incredible.  Tomorrow TB test results and more cruising the streets.  Again lots of giggles today and a wide open little girl.  It is amazing that this is the same child that we got just 6 days ago.  We can't feed her enough peanuts and she can put a serious hurt on some noodles.  I think she has gained some weight since we got her.  Her 'hoarding' is not nearly as bad as what it was.  I think she is beginning to trust that Daddy and I are not going to take her toys and her treats.  What a beautiful child this is!

 This picture is actually embroidery.  It takes about two years to do a work like this... all by hand. 
 This is a famous painter in China.  He is working on a piece for us and putting our family name on it.  It was so cool to watch him work.

Chen Family Temple.  It was a truly beautiful place.  The flowers, shrubbery, bonsai and the building itself was breath taking.  Unfortunately this photo doesn't do it much justice.  (No discredit to the photographer).

And you thought the beds at the White Swan were hard...can you imagine the bed & pillows that the Chen family endured?
