NUMBER OF FAMILIES GOING

Recieved an e-mail yesterday from another mom in our group....Krista. OMG! I so love her blog and the way she decorated the baby's room and the guest room. Not sure what she does for a living but I do know that she has mentioned the words "work" and "court" in the same sentence. I personally think that she really missed her calling. http://www.miles2mia.blogspot.com . Anyhoo, Krista says that as far as she knows there are seven families total, 4NSN and 3SN. This is still a far cry from when we went to get Mimi back in 2004 and there were 37 families. Then she says that both she and another mom Robin are trying to work it so that we can go to the SWI in Tonggu. We'll have to see how that plays out as it is a 4 hour drive from our hotel in Nanchang. In the meantime I have been keeping myself busy with the packing. Just need a few more things for the baby, then pack for myself and Mimi. Dad is on his own. The man says that he is still nervous about the whole deal. Poor guy.

MORE SHOWER GIFTS

The ladies of my neighborhood really out did themselves. Mei Mei received so many cute girlie clothes. I loved it! These are just a couple of items that she recieved. The one that dad is holding says "I Love Daddy", the bib that Mimi is holding says " I'm here to ANNOY my sister". So funny but yet so true.

WILD WEATHER

The article says that the snow level should drop to the 1,000 ft level. We are at the 800 ft. So we may or may not get any. If anything it most likely be jus a dusting of snow. None the less it is really pouring down the rain really hard. Plus it is freezing cold!

THE GIRL IS A SWINGER!

This is the Caddilac of the baby swings. Oh my word! I so love my neighborhood and the people in it! My usual group of lady friends and their family chipped in to purchase this gorgeous swing. I have to say that the picture does not do this justice. The place where the baby is placed is soooooo soft and comfy. It swings front to back and side to side. The best part about it is that it's a plug in!

HOTEL

Still waiting for our TA's but the word out is that we will be staying at the China Hotel in Guanzhou and the Jin Feng Hotel in Nanchang. I am pretty sure that there will be 3 families total in our group as whenever Norman e-mails us anything, there are only 3 family names listed.

THE GIRL IS A TEACHER !!!!

When the kids reach level 10 in math, they get to be the teacher for 2 weeks. Which means they get to correct their classmates papers. They get a huge kick out of it.

NEW BLOG TITLE

Just realized that as soon as we get home from China, I am going to have to change the name of our blog and the sidebar picture to include Mei Mei.
