We are finished with our official appointments until Wednesday, so today we went site-seeing. It wasn’t real exciting. It was a bunch of ancient Chinese history – a 2000 year old tomb that was discovered in the 1980s. All the artifacts were interesting but Tommy somehow didn’t really see the significance of it all and wanted out of there. After that we went to a park that was pretty.
While I was finishing up getting ready this morning before breakfast, I asked Billy to get Tommy dressed. He asked me what I wanted, and I said pick anything. So he did and after he was through, he said, “Hey! We match!” Too funny! I guess it’s his turn.
At the pretty park
We ordered Papa Johns for dinner. They deliver! and they serve gluten free! They put the pizza sauce and toppings over rice and then bake it. Yummy!
Some of Tommy’s super cuteness. He is certainly an active boy. He loves to bang things against the wall over and over. And he will roll the trashcan over the floor. And open and shut the cabinet doors for a long time. It is so fun to watch him discover everything. I’m sure he did not have this much freedom at the orphanage.
The rest of the group arrived tonight from the different areas of China. They will do the medical tomorrow and then I think Zhou will have some more exciting trips planned for us in the next couple of days. Tommy does like to ride in the car/van… just not being strolled around a dark museum.
Here’s hoping next week goes a little faster!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PS. Thanks for everyone commenting on the blog. It does help to know you all are thinking of us and praying for us. We love you ALL!

So cute the father and son matching! With Tommy liking to make noise, I am sure he will get along with Joey just fine!! Maybe he will play the drums someday! Did Tommy like the pizza?

Now I have seen many little boys over here, but I do think he is one of the most adorable. I love not only the smile but the twinkle, several of the pictures caught, of his eye! Thanks for sharing these experiences with us. We are thrilled for you as you welcome another precious gift into your home. Lots of luv from our family to yours!
