Teng Wengde Pavillion

April 21, 2009
Ok this is my second time trying to post. I typed a long one and it was lost. I will try again.
After getting up at 4am Gideon did go back to sleep around 5:30 and slept until 8am. At breakfast he ate congee and steamed eggs and loved the apple juice. After breakfast we were ablto skype the kids. It was great to see and hear them. They get so excited. Loved being able to see their didi (little brother). Gideon loved to see them as well. We then skyped our friends the Clarks and had a nice time with them and their kids. After that we went to the Teng Wengde Pavillion. It was very nice walking around and looking at the pretty buildings and great views on the river. We walked up the stairs of the tallest building and saw a show at the top. Gideon loved the music and dancers. We met some high school kids there who were learning English. They loved having their pictures taken with us and talking with us. We enjoyed the day there. The weather was perfect. Gideon was so good the whole time. We then came back to the hotel for a nap. We all slept from 1 to 5:30. Gideon cried a little when I put him down but I just had to stroke his face and arm for a while and he went to sleep. This evening we walked to Walmart. The evening was very pleasant and it was a nice walk. We stopped at Kentucky Fried Chicken for dinner. Gideon loved the mashed potatoes. The chicken was actually very good. I'm going to give Gideon a bath now. Just know that we are all doing well. Gideon is the best little guy and we are so very blessed to have been chosen to be his parents.
We love you all,
Good night and God Bless,
From Nanchang,
Tim, Jackie and Gideon
