People's Park

April 22,2009
Today has been a great day. Gideon woke up around 8am and woke up happy. Tim played with him while I got ready. The kids skyped us from home. It was good to see them again. They look great. I think they really miss us. Only 1 more week and we will be home sweet ones. We then went to breakfast and Gideon chowed down on congee and scrambled eggs. He finished that off with apple juice. After some more playtime in the room we met our guide and went to People's Park. It was very nice. Some areas were very pretty and nicely kept and then other areas had garbage all over but for the most park it was a very nice park. We watched little preschool children in the park, they were all walking in a line and stopped. I was taking their picture when they all squatted down with pants down to do their business. It was quite funny. They were all very cute. We got an ice cream and Gideon loved it. While we were eating it a little family, mom dad and little boy about 2 came over. The little boy was so sweet. He wanted some icecream but his mama gave him a cracker and he immediately came over and shared it with Gideon. It was precious. We walked and walked and just enjoyed the morning. We came back to the hotel and Gideon is napping. We plan on taking another walk this afternoon and maybe go back to Walmart or McDonalds. We are enjoying our time here in Nanchang and met some very sweet couples from Australia who also received their babies the same day we did. They all waited 5 years for their precious ones. Tomorrow we go back to the notary for paperwork but then we will go sightseeing somewhere with Emma our guide again. Friday afternoon we get on a train and head for Guangzhou. We are looking forward to getting to Shamian Island. I am feeling much better today so thank you all for your prayers. Please keep posting comments we love reading them. I am going to try to post pictures again. So good by for now.
Tim, Jackie and Gideon
