Mimi's gymnastic team made it into the local newspaper. She's super jazzed about it and so are we!

CHINA FAMILY GET TOGETHER / BABY SHOWER
Yesterday afternoon Lisa, Art, Nathan and Emily hosted our monthly get together / baby shower for us at their home. They have a great home that is super kid friendly. As you can see Mimi put her crutches to the side and that is where they stayed the whole afternoon. We got to the Spencer's home and the next thing I knew Mimi was walking around with no crutches. She was just limping a smidgen. The girl told me that under no condition was she going to use those crutches at school cause that would be embarassing for her. I just wish the girl would use the same determination toward her homework. The crutches went back to Halli's house the second we got home.
As you can see, Elsie just loves doting on Emily and Emily is eating is all up too. As you can see in the picture, the Spencers have a huge playroom upstairs. So in between the eating and playing outside on the playset, the kids would go upstairs to play while the adults would visit in the family room catching up on what's going on in our lives. Lisa came back down after checking on the kids upstairs and reported to us that the girls were playing "Orphanage" and that the only boy there who was Nathan, was the "Director" of the orphanage. We all cracked up.
Besides the good food, there was great company and many beautiful clothes and baby items for Mimi's mei mei.
TONGGU
I found by accident on Google the SWI of where Mei-Lin is from. The dirt road is the road that leads to the SWI. The picture on the bottom right is the Tonggu street scene. Our hotel is there somewhere and so the Walmart, should we need to make a shopping trip. The upper left picture is the Farmers Market. Now, we do know that Mei-Lin was left at the gate leading into the Farmers Market and I think that this may be the one. Just can't say for sure.
