Thurday in Tianjin

Wow, I can't believe that it was last week that we were at the Temple of Heaven! What a week it's been!

Today we woke up and got started late. It was nice to be a little relaxed. Cackie took a shower with me and then Michael was able to get Owen into the tub with him. It started out as a fight, but by the end of the bath he was laughing and smiling. Yay! Maybe that's another small victory.

We went down and had a really nice breakfast and Owen ate a reasonable amount. I think he's starting to realize that there will be plenty for him and he doesn't need to stuff himself.

After breakfast we pulled out the double stroller and went out for a walk. We walked to a little park that is attached to a hospital down the street and did some exploring and then we went down to the river that is nearby. They have a very nice river walk area with a HUGE ferris wheel on a bridge over the river. We had a good time just walking along and looking at the different people.

This afternoon has been lazy for us, first we had a nice long nap and then we've been hanging out playing and watching TV. Now we're trying to figure out what to do for dinner.

Just one more full day in Tianjin. On Saturday we head to Guangzhou where hopefully we won't draw as many crowds. It will be nice to be in a familiar place and see some friends.

Thank you for all the comments and messages! We love hearing from everyone and feeling connected to back home. Just one more week and we'll be back!

We are so happy for you all! Owen is just precious and Cackie looks like she is having a great time being big sis! We can't wait to meet Mr. Owen in person and give him a big Memphis welcome. Love, The Donnals

Sounds as if Owen is adjusting well and beginning to trust you.

Pictures are great.

I'm loving the pictures. I can't believe I'm kinda wishing we could visit Tianjin again.

The kids look like they are having fun. Owen looks cute in his little overalls. The cats are fine even though they stole a couple of dog snausages for a snack! We can't wait to see all of you and to meet little Owen.
