Things are looking up. Eliza is eating better and sleeping better. She seems to be moving into a schedule...what a relief. Yesterday we spent the day in the room. Eliza took a six hour nap (she's got quite a cold), and I had the worst flu I've ever experienced. Kyle did an amazing job taking care of the Schurter ladies! He had the opportunity to change Eliza's diaper a few times (one time involved poopy! This is a big deal here in adoption land...the kids get pretty upset, and so do their systems).Today we took a tour of Chongqing. We went to the People's Hall (didn't get to see much since it's completely obscured by scaffolding). We also went for a walk to see the confluence of the Jialing and Yangtze rivers. The air is even thicker today then the previous days, so I'm afraid viewing was difficult. During the walk we posed in front of a real dragon and listened to a musical band of piggies. According to the Chinese zodiac, this is the year of the pig.

Piggy Dance PartyWe took group picture in the lobby around four o'clock. Everyone together and then just the babies. The event was a little over stimulating for some.

Happy BabiesTomorrow we fly to Guangzhou. We'll get Eliza's visa and passport there. We'll see how the plane ride goes with the little one. Speaking of...she's waking up from her nap. Stay tuned.

So glad that you will be home soon. I always knew you were up to the task of parenting! What a wonderful family you have. Eliza is more beautiful everytime I see a new pic. Friday is just a few days away and once she gets adjusted to the time change you won't remember what life was like before she entered into your lives! Have a blessed day!
I have been going through withdrawals since I have been away from the internet and missing your blog!! Thank you so much for posting and letting us ease drop on your new family.
She looks so happy and healthy! Can't wait to see you all - take care of that flu Jane.
The pictures are great. And we certainly enjoyed getting the report from Stephanie on the "grandma police" etc. I have put pictures in my computer and using them as a slide show for the screen saver. We get to see Eliza throughout the day. I love the "pink girl" pic with the finger in the mouth.
Love, Dad
