Today we went to the Pearl Market which is many many merchants who are ready to haggle with you for their merchandise. The minute we got off the escalator, they were on us!! The merchants would literally grab you by the arm to come to their booth. We are not good at haggling over prices so we probably could have gotten better deals but we did get some adorable clothes for Miss Jodi. She has a definite opinion on what she likes and doesn't like! Jodi is presently wanting to be held and carried most of the time which is not an easy task considering she weighs almost 40 pounds! It's hard to say "no" when you know that she missed out on that as a little one. We decided to buy a stroller today to save our arms and backs!!
We went to the aquarium with our new friends. What an experience! I felt like I had run a marathon when we got out of there because she ran from display to display. Jodi absolutely loved it there! Mama and Baba were exhausted..... We feel like she is bonding well with us which is such a blessing and so important. We feel certain that your prayers are making all the difference. Also thanks to your faithful prayers, we are all feeling better! We love and appreciate you so much. Heading to the Forbidden City tomorrow!
