Tuesday, April 15 Terra Cotta Warriors

We saw the Terra Cotta Warriors today.... they were quite amazing. Hard to imagine being that paranoid about needing protection in the afterlife. They have found about 8,000 warriors and there are even more uncovered. Here is a picture of Joshua close up but of course he blinked, still adorable though. As you can see with him asleep in the stroller he wasn't too into the Terra Cotta Warriors. We bought a book though signed by the farmer that found the first warriors while he was digging a well in 1974. I'm sure he'll enjoy looking at it as he gets older. We are going to Pizza Hut tonight. Praise the Lord!! I never thought that I'd miss familiar tastes but I really do. It gives me a greater appreciation for what Joshua will go through until he gets used to tastes at home in Georgia. The good thing is that he seems to eat anything as long as it is mixed with rice and in a bowl so we're putting new things in with the rice to introduce him to them. He is learning very fast... he waves and says bye now. He babbles almost constantly and is coming out of his shell more and more... I don't think he says many Chinese words because our tour guide isn't sure what he's saying either. We are not going to be able to go to Hope Haven, his home for his first two years. They have changed their rules since last year so anyone that has pictures inside or out of Hope Have please email them to me so I can have photos of Hope Haven for his Lifebook; adinn@comcast.net We sure do miss everyone and are looking forward to seeing you all again.... especially Grace, Faith, and Isaac!!! Love you!!
