Now I am packing up the last of our things, checking every nook and cranny to make sure nothing gets left behind. And you can bet I will be carrying Lily's things on the plane with me! My suitcase will be the only one checked on this leg of the trip...we've seemed to have good luck with it so far!
Here are some final pictures of our last couple of days in Nanchang, Jiangxi, China.
Thursday we went to this Pavilion...very famous in Jinagxi. Apparently lots of others like this one are just copies of this original. I also thought it was called a Pagoda, but because this is big on the inside, it's a Pavilion.
Robert, Me, sleepy Lily, Lao Lao (maternal grandmother) and Nai Nai (paternal grandmother)
Artwork inside the Pavilion
They put on a 15 minute show on the top floor of the Pavilion every hour. The costumes were gorgeous and the hand movements were just beautiful...so graceful.
Robert showed me this "painting". I thought it was beautiful at first, then he told me it was made out of butterfly wings. Poor butterflies.
"I'm not too sure about this hat, mom!" (I was surprised...she actually left it on for quite a while. It only ended up on the ground once!)

I am soooo happy for you, she is beautiful. I have been checking your blog every day,and I am so happy you are keeping it up to date. God has truly blessed you, and you deserve it. Lily is also blessed to have such wounderful an loving parents. There is no doubt in my mind that this was a match made in Heaven. Children are a gift from God (no mater how they come), they are a huge responsibility, but the rewards are beyond measure. I am sure that you and Robert are going to be terrific parents (you have two great mentors to make sure of that). I have togo how, before my tears mess up my keybord. Keep up with your blog. God bless you all. Tell my sister Hi. Robert, keep up with the great photography.
Love to all,
Uncle (and Great Uncle) David
