HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE




Today was the first Ellie and Mommy outing. We went to the museum and then to the pearl market. The pearl market was great~we got Ellie and Emma a strand of pearls to be given later in life for a special occasion. It was amazing to watch them string the pearls and knot in between each pearl. They would talk to us as they did it..without looking down! People we were with spent tons here. I'm not a real "pearl" person, but did take advantage of it. Our guides took us to a certain store that was very reputable and would not raise the prices for Americans.

Everyone we meet thinks Emma is younger than 9 months. She still smiles and giggles a lot. Today she sat up several times for about 30 seconds before she tipped over. Today she ate noodles chopped up and bits of bananas. She is figuring out that food is good and squeals until we give her more. I'm putting eggs in her congee..she is finally figuring out the spoon. She sucks her thumb throughout the night and when she wakes she waits until we get up before she makes a sound. I'm sure this will change soon!

Tomorrow she has her medical examination. We weighed her on the scales and she is 14.5 pounds. We will see how close we are tomorrow at the exam. I think the size of her head makes it look like she is heavier than she is! :) My camera was on the wrong setting today so the cute pictures I took, didn't turn out..UGH!

Happy Easter Everyone!

I can not believe you went swimming.... burr!

Enjoy it while you can it is like 20 degrees here, well it was last night anyway, I think today is suppose to be in the 40's. Hopefully it will be at least in the middle 50's by the time you get home.

Can't wait to see you all home, everyone seems to be all smiles.

Happy Easter to you all,

The easter bunny came this morning---in spite of his frozen, white fluffy tail!!! Cute pictures and the trip to pearl 101 sounds interesting. We'll warm it up a little for your arrival home. Happy Easter to all.
