It certainly does not seem like Sunday here. People are just out and about shopping and such. I am sure somewhere here there are a few that have worshipped today. We miss worshipping with you all. We have had a good day. Evelyn seems much better. Emelia continues to progress. We ventured out with our guide. We went to the pearl market and a shopping center. You can see from the photo of Evelyn the size. Not only is it multi level but has a labyrinth of shops on the sides. We went in one area and I wondered if we would find our way out. We bought both girls a moderate quality string of pearls to give when they are older. Grace, our guide, took us to a local restaurant for traditional Chinese lunch. It was an adventure. Grace told us but I was glad Mandy H. had mentioned the first tea was for washing your dishes. Will have to tell you all more later. Evelyn also had to experience her first squatty potty there. At least we made it this far without that. Other than some paperwork our afternoon is free. Scott and Evelyn tell me I spend too much time on the computer. Ya'll need to tell them to leave me alone with your updates. Oh, we went in a candy shop and they loaded our bags much more full than we requested. For three bags of candy it cost US $20. The last photo is in the taxi.

Scott definitely has his hands full now as evidenced by the first picture :) The girls are so beautiful together and though I know that it will take some time for both of them to adjust to being a sister, what a blessing they will be to each other. I am watching and learning from you ... you'll have to counsel me before we go to China as I am sure that Lilli will probably react like Evelyn has.
Love all the pictures ... and tell Scott that your computer time is a LIFESAVER to those of us back home wanting to be right where you are!
