We Love It Here


We are enjoying the grand and beautiful White Swan Hotel. Blooming orchids, mums, and all sort of other plants in peak form fill corners. The indoor waterfall and pools are alot fun for Ben. We were a little surprised the see the Easter Bunny here! We saw Christmas decorations in Nanjing several places. Every time you turn around you see another American company here - Crest to Ford to CAT backhoes to Lipton tea. (I thought tea came from China!) I cannot imagine the generation gap between the grandparents who lived in a true socialistic society to today's young adults who know capitalism and Western ways.



The medical exam was a painless event, even though watching Ben you wouldn't have known it. So, we have a nice photo of him walking in!

We enjoyed the wonderful sunshine at Lucy's for lunch. Ben copied how I dipped my fries in ketchup. He would carefully get just the right amount on each fry.



We borrowed a stroller for the few days that we are here. Ben loves it.
Brad says he's valuing it like a guy's first car.

This will be our last post before home. (Home, sweet home!)

The warm days here are great - gotta get out and enjoy some more before going back to the PA jacket weather. Ben loves his strolls in the park and watching the boats on the Pearl River.
Our most challenging day with Ben was Tuesday with our four and half hour flight delay. He did fine once we got on the plane! He is a very curious little boy that loves checking new things out. Pray with us for a smooth trip home!
