Today we went to see a beautiful Buddhist temple that is now open to the public. The architecture was again amazing and they had one Buddha that is in the Guiness Book of World Records for being made out of one piece of sandalwood. It was at least 3 or 4 stories high! This was followed by attending a tea ceremony which the adults really enjoyed... the kids, not so much..... The teas were incredible and tasted richer that anything we had ever had. We all hit the wall today... but it wasn't so great... (Sorry for the bad humor but I told you we were tired. We've been working on that joke all day.:) ) The other pictures are Jodi practicing her moves when hounded by the paparazzi. Actually these are her new friends in the hotel lobby who are so sweet to her when we come through every day. We also have a picture of Baba's new discipline technique to keep Jodi in her seat. What do you think? Actually she was loving this and told him to do it over and over!! We are still having our challenges with our very stubborn little girl but this is followed by very sweet moments that we wouldn't trade. Tomorrow we head to the Summer Palace and love to you wherever you are right now!
Wow! That looks like a movie set! Fascinating. The tea sounds heavenly. Fred, I think we need to talk about your idea for a new kind of car seat. LOL We love and miss you soooo much! xoxoxo Arf... arf....

Susan, The consignment sale is this week and I wondered if there was anything y'all were needing or would like to have for Jodi. Please let me know if there is and I will be glad to hunt it for you. I check this about everyday so you can put a post on here about it or email me at jaanna@triad.rr.com. I hope everything is continuing to go well. Looks like a lot of fun. Y'all are really getting to see some awesome things! Love to you all and many blessings!
ReplyDeleteFred & Susan,
ReplyDeleteMary Lynne and I have enjoyed the pictures and hearing about your daily adventures. The wall joke took awhile - a little slow. Can't wait to see Jodi in person. The gang from TBC says hello as well.
I do have one question - I am trying to fit the car seat for Jodi. I need the mesurement from her bottom (as if she is sitting) to the top of her shoulders. Please give in inches - not to good with converting from metric. Don't go to a lot of trouble - I can always wing it - just trying to save sometime at the airport. Look forward to some more pictures!!
Take care,
Peter
