Monday, April 14 in Xian

Today we did more paperwork and got an official looking adoption certificate. We found out where Joshua was found, a small city outside of Xian. We are going to try to go there and to the specific marketplace and street on Wednesday. Here are pictures of us eating at a restuarant in Xian. Joshua got all excited when he saw the chopsticks and was hilarious trying to use them. He is definitely showing a preference to Clayton as you can see with the pictures since Clayton is always in them with him. Clayton is enjoying it since he says it will all change when we get back home and he has to go back to work. We bought a stroller and walked the city tonight and saw the Bell Tower and Drum Tower. In ancient times the Bell Tower was used to tell the time in the morning with bells and the Drum Tower at dusk with drums. We also found the Wal-Mart tonight and saw lots of interesting things there. The funny part was the it was as crowded as any Wal-Mart and I felt stressed after being there. Joshua continues to do well..... although he did start showing a little temper today when he didn't get his way.... his paperwork had actually warned us of this. Of course, it's cute at this age when they poke out their lower lips but....... Well I better get off to bed. We love you guys and covet your prayers for us and for Grace, Faith, Isaac, and Joshua. (I'll try to put pictures here tomorrow... having a hard time!!)
