Babies, babies, babies

Today we went to a park to see the eclipse and afterwards just walk around. We were stopped by alot of the locals wondering what all these westerners were doing with Chinese babies. Joey was asked to have his picture taken with some locals! They are all very nice and some, when they realize that we have adopted the girls, will tell us thank you. The park was very nice, clean and alot of the locals go there and exercise and dance or play cards and chess.

After the park we went to a embroidery shop and the work they do is so beautiful. We came back to the hotel and ordered room service for me and Joe, Merrin ate cereal and prunes. The girl loves prunes, well she eats just about anything. The only issue we are having is sleeping, I don't know if it's the tooth that's coming in or what but who needs sleep:) I keep telling Joey we have been doing alot of sleeping the last 6 1/2 years! When we ordered room service they had french fries with my sandwich which I was very excited about but Merrin was just as excited every time I would give her a bite she would start dancing. (Susan she reminds me of Nate, she dances just like him!)
Joey and I decided to venture out by ourselves and go to a bakery and baby store not to far from the hotel. I have followed a ton of blogs and read so much about the driving here and trying to cross the street, but to experience it for myself was crazy and very frightening. Alot of people describe it as playing frogger and truly that is what you feel like when you are trying to cross. We will all go to dinner tonight and tomorrow. We just have paperwork and we will just hang around. Merrin has been really great and everyday she shows us more and more of her personality, she is definitely showing us her spicy hunan side!! She will go to both Joey and I but will cry if I leave the room which is a great sign of bonding, so we are very happy with that. We just love her to pieces!! Lots of love, Joey, Wendy and Merrin
