It is hard to believe that we have had our little blessing for
only
nine days. It seems like she is such a part of us! Each day she
reveals new things to us about her personality and character.
For
the most part, she is a very sweet and gentle spirited baby…and
then
at times, she can reveal the other side of herself. Like the
babies
from Hunan province, the babies from Jiangxi are also considered
to
be "spicy". At times, sweet little Sarah Joy Le Harris can be
spicy!! But she has stolen our hearts and we wouldn't change
anything about who she is. She has been through an incredible
ordeal the last two weeks and yet she still smiles most of the
day.
This morning we went on a tour with our group to a local
Buddhist
temple and famous pagoda and then to a provincial folk art
museum
and craft store. The structures were fascinating and we saw some
really cool ivory carvings.
We got back to our hotel around 1pm and decided to just hang out
and
rest a little this afternoon. A little later we did go out for
an
ice cream and some shopping. We had dinner at Lucy's…again…but
we
enjoyed it and we really don't have any other options.
Tomorrow afternoon we are going to the pearl market. Nana and I
have been waiting to go there so we can compare quality and
price
with the shops around our hotel. That is about all for now. Enjoy
the pictures!
