Lazy Day

There's not much to report; today was a lazy, lazy day. Grace was super tired, sporting three naps today, so we didn't get out much. We had to wait around to visit the pediatrician here in the hotel, so we didn't venture out of the hotel doors until evening (minus a 5 minute trip to the pool) when we headed out with our travel group for a group dinner. We went to the restaurant to the right (when leaving the hotel) and had the best Chinese food I have ever had in my whole life!!! I'm sure it was a touch "westernized" as our guide, who has been hosting adoptive families from the states for years, ordered for us, but it was sensational. I'm going to be dreaming about that food for some time.

Grace is doing better each day. We were really worried this morning, as she seemed to step back a bit (showed no emotion, refused to make eye contact), but in the end, I just think she was really tired. She was a different kid after each nap. She's still pretty quiet in groups, and she's clingy to us when strangers are around (which is a good sign), but each day, she lets us in a little bit more. She's such a beautiful blessing, and we are so grateful to that she is finally in our lives.

She's just so cute; it's amazing how quickly love springs! She has the longest fingers and toes ever (her toes are like fingers), and she grunts when she laughs, which is just to die for cute. She likes to play rough, so I know there's a little boy at home who will think that's cool. We miss Grant so much; we get to skype with him daily, but it's still hard to think that we have over a week before we get to see him again.

Tomorrow, we are heading to the Tengwang Pavillion, the symbol of Nanchang. The weather here has been much cooler and breezier than expected (an answer to prayer... and I"m not joking!), so maybe tomorrow will be nice and cool. We're excited to see more of Nanchang, especially after our spell with cabin fever today.

Good night from Nanchang. More to come...
