Today we went to Guizhou Museum. It was really neat! It was basically history of this area, and learned a bit more about where she's from. She really paid a lot of attention to a certain type of dress. I posted the pic in another blog, we thought it was long horn but could be wrong... I can't remember...

Then downstairs there was a store offhand carvings out of jade, he said it was a purple jade, but it wasn't purple. It's more brown and light green. But there are layers, I so wish I could've taken a pic but I wasn't allowed! :(

We bought the boys a necklace and got one for Ella since its from her province. I also got a sliver flower ring, but bummer, it's too big for her now, so I'll wear it til she can! ;)

Then we went to a pavilion. I'm honestly thinking a pavilion, ok. But my version of pavilion is not there's! It's a tower. Got to walk all the way to the top, so pretty!! Then we walked around a bit. Curt was holding Ella and tried to put her down but she somewhat flipped out, she wanted to be held. She just had a look on her face of uncertainty.

We got a book on this area and Curt just said that the tower we were at is THE place to go. I think there's a school inside as well. We left at noon, and there were a TON of kids with backpacks...

We don't fly out til 4 something tomorrow... Not sure what time we are leaving here...

Had laundry picked up last night and getting dropped off tonight at 7, and Michael is coming with our papers that were being notarized. So we will have all our paperwork that we need! :)

(pictures.. Got Ella to take a nap!!! :))) and the ring I got today at the museum..)

Cancelled

What a busy crazy day! Curt left right away this morning around 7 to get his blood taken.  He got back and then Audrey got here.  We played and picked up for a bit then left to go to the Health Department to get our TB test done.  We got there around 10ish and they told us we needed to make an appointment.  So we waited for a bit to make an appointment.  Thankfully they had an opening for today yet.  They only do these tests on Friday, so we really didn't want to have to wait until next Friday if at all possible.  Got an appointment for 1:15 and 1:30.  I was thinking ugh, either no nap and very little nap, but I didn't care!  ;) Got home, cleaned up a bit more, got the kiddos some lunch, then we turned around and left to go back to the Health Department.  (I did NOT see the water guy! ;)) Got back there, got asked some questions, wanted to know why I need the test...  I said adoption.  They saw all the other 5 kids and as...

Run-Aways

Wow, this has seriously been an eventful week! Starting off with the whole fabric softener mis-hap, which you can read on here if you didn't see or hear about it! Then Curt left Monday nite, Tuesday, well, it was ok, we had mom's group and the kids were acting up a bit, but nothing too bad... Then Wednesday I had a meeting at the church... It started out ok, the meeting wasn't long at all! Gavin came into the room and said he wanted to go play outside on the playground. I told him no, because I couldn't see him. I said, what if someone came by and picked you up and grabbed you and took you somewhere? Mommy would never see you again and I would be soooo sad! I said, I can't see you, so you need to stay inside. Well, not more than 3 minutes passed and Kotah comes up to me and says, uh, mom, Gavin is trying to go outside. So, I get up, go over to him and talk. I asked him what is he doing? he says, I WANT to play OUTSIDE! I said, bubby, I can't see you, so you can...

Update on Dad...

Mom called a little while ago. Dad will be admitted, they aren't sure yet what caused the pain. He had fever, but it now is broken. He is also a little jaundice, so that is why they were/are thinking that his stent moved... They had to poke him 3 different times to try and get an IV in, his veins were so tight because he was in so much pain, he was tensing up. They took some blood from both arms and are still waiting on the results of that. They also did a chest x-ray. So still waiting, but atleast he isn't in any pain. The gave him a shot of morphine to take care of the pain, and it finally worked.
