Chen Family Hall
Intricate Buildings
Grandma in the Gardens
Look at the PillowsAdventure can take many forms. Sometimes, following your heart is the greatest one of all.

Yesterday afternoon we toured the Chen Family Ancestral Hall. The building is absolutely gorgeous and local artists displayed some of their work. The sand paintings were incredible. I wish we could afford to buy one and bring it home. We have had a wonderful time together as we get to know each other. Elainea smiles all the time now and she loves it when we pass cars and Mom says “beep-beep”.
We still have not been successful at slowing her eating down. She eats her weight in Cheerios a day. I have never seen anything like it. She has a little budda belly and the diapers really do not fit her well anymore. Yesterday our guide Jo Jo told us that we really should not be feeding her so much and so she took her bowl of Cheerios away. Elainea screamed for about 20 minutes straight until Jo Jo said, “Maybe we should give them back.” Yep, one word to describe Elainea would be spitfire! She is full of fun and adventure and she loves her Mommy. This morning she ran down the hotel hall and into her Daddy’s arms.
I can not imagine our lives without her. We have been given such a special gift. How can we ever thank everyone that made this possible for us? I guess that is something that we will have to work on.
Tomorrow we have the consulate ceremony and then we leave for home. Our poor little Elainea probably thinks we live in hotels and eat out everyday. Boy will she have a shock when we get home! Baby boot camp is on the itinerary when we get home. No more temper tantrums. She is so funny she throws herself on the floor, gently places her head on the floor and then starts to scream!By the time you all read this it will be Valentines Day! We wish you a Happy Valentines Day with people you love surrounding you. We get an extra long one as we fly home and gain a day again. We love you all and can not wait to show you our funny little Valentine!
