Ah Chongqing...

Finally, our room is bareable. The portable air conditioner is doing the trick.  We have to keep turning it on though... LOL
 
You will get a HUGE kick out of this... at breakfast, I sat at our table with the girls while Chris went to get food.  I then went to get food at the buffet.  When I came back they had removed my chair and replaced it with TWO different chairs (no arms on the side).  We laughed so hard I thought I was going to cry!  Then we were walking through the park area, this man grabbed my arm and kept patting it and talking with great enthusiasum.  He was pleased to see a meaty lady I guess. 
 
Everywhere we go, it is a freak show with my large butt and Bai Hua's odd walk.  Actually, her walk is a bit worse than odd.  That child is such a trooper.  We really should have brought a wheelchair.  She really cannot take the walking that is required.  When we go to the zoo, we will only do an hour or so while the other couple explores.  We have figured out that we can put her on Chris' back pretty easy.  Then I put Kennedy on my shoulders or back as well. She is most comfortable on the floor and will squat when tired or when we are stopped after walking a bunch.  She such a wonderful child so far, I just cannot describe with words. 
 
Talk to you soon!

Congrats to all of you on the final adoption. We are so happy for you. It will be great to get her back here where she can get the things she needs. They need to start making bigger booths in our restaurants here also. Americans keep getting bigger and the booths smaller! Kiss both my beautiful angels for me. Travel safely. I wish I could FedEx a wheelchair to you. Love,
MOM
