May 11th




Today we went to the Folks Art Museum. I have one hour to myself right now at 2pm, Savannah is asleep and Dave has gone to the Electronic Store, apparently you can buy $800 digital cameras for $30. The photos taken today were Daddy and Savannah having a silly morning and Savannah crashed during our visit to the museum.

Friday we receive her passport and I need to get more diapers and formula, however she likes our food much more. Saturday we leave the hotel at 10am for our flight back to Beijing. Sunday we visit the great wall of China, (we will be one more step closer to home).

I am having a very difficult time sleeping on the bed, you might as well give me a piece of steel to sleep on (I'm not joking, I am sore), I hope to bath Savannah
tonight she hates the water.

She is so active, all she wants to do is try to walk all (12lbs of her). Watch out Karl and Ross, she is a monkey. We had a good night last night she slept from 8:40pm - 7:30am. Two dirty diapers (still waiting for Dave to change his first dirty one).

With the humidity I would say its around 110. They said in July and August its umbearable. I can't eat the food so all I am eating is grilled cheese and ham sandwiches, breakfast is fine.

We hope to start our shopping next week, there has been no time at all to shop we want to spend some money. Two families went to visit their orphanage today, no family from Dianbai went, it was too much of a drive, our babies can only take one hour on the bus (the orphanage was 5-6 hours away). We have 7 days left and then we leave, this will be interesting on the flight, 26 babies, no sleep, jet lag yikes!!! look out everyone. Signing off now, love you Karl and Ross from tiny to sis Savannah.
