Vacation Day 2 The Gorge

THe next day we took a trip to the gorge that makes this town famous. You can hike down into it cross bridges, hike along it and even go under many of the water falls that line the gorge. It was beautiful. Sean and I kept joking it was like our own mini trip to Yousemite - but in China.

Hum I wonder where he learned this pose... living in China too long :)

Once you get back to the start you can pay to take this glass elevator back up to the top of the gorge.

Awesome views

again with that hand Caedmon

baby girla - 25 weeks!

After a long morning of hiking we enjoyed the pool at the hotel. A hotel with an outdoor pool here is a luxury!

But everyone is required to wear a swim cap in it :) I wish I would have gotten a pic of Sean in his

That night we ate at the buffet in the hotel, yummy steak!!! It was the third time I have eaten red meat in the last 10+ months and it taste awesome. 

The other day C was looking at the necklace I wear and asked why there were two birds on it. I said it was from daddy and they were lovey birds and sometimes when you love people you get them two birds b/c they are 'love birds'. And he goes... "JoJo loves me! Remember she got me those love birds" (which I did not remember - as we haven't see those birds in 9-12 months!). JoJo is his friend from the states, we lived with her for 10 months when C was a baby. Anyway we dug them out and here he is sleeping with them and feeling very loved :)

Week One In Thailand

Reading books in bed with dad. C slept with Sean most nights

We got here one week ago. Last week was a tough one for lots of reasons I won't go into here, but it was good too. It was nice to see old friends, be lifted up in prayer, know that so many people care for us, worship together in a large group, swim, eat without cooking or doing dishes, have my bed made for me... The list goes on. 

Our little fish. This weeks goal is to learn to swim.

No fear of the water. Jumped in numerous times with no floaties, despite the fact that he repeatedly had to be yanked out of the water.

Us

Good times with friends. I think C was on a high all week having so many other kids around who ALL spoke English, pure bliss for our boy! Notice the wet pants...we had a little set back this week in dry pants :(

We moved to a new place yesterday. I took this picture a few minutes ago, Caed napping, my computer open figuring out pinterest and all :) I include this because minutes after I took this I left the room to get something and C woke up and rolled over and my computer fell to the floor. So note to self, don't leave the computer on the bed next to a sleeping child.

In other news are trying again to get pregnant while we are here. I am on day three of meds [if that means anything to you]. Blood work tomorrow, ultrasound later this week. Praying that the meds work well and do what they are supposed to! And man giving yourself shots is not the best. Caed told me last night after my shot, "You are doing such a good job Mommy!" He also told me before he fell asleep today, "If those eggies are going to babies I want a sister to call me gege [older brother]" - I told him that brothers would call him that too :)
