It's Friday evening ALREADY (after an unbelievably fast week), and we check out in the AM. From here (Nanchang) we head to Guangzhou, about a 1 hour plane ride. Kyle's (and the other babies') first - should be an adventure.
It seems like we just got here. We've had an enjoyable stay here in Nanchang. The people have all been very friendly and respectful. They are interested in us and the babies and when they like to stop and speak with us. Even though we rarely understand each others' languages on the street, we're usually able to communicate. Many people (usually oler women) like to say "lucky baby" when they see us, we think it just the opposite - we're the lucky ones.
We picked up Kyle's passport today at a different Government office - it was a very interesting ride and we saw areas we had not seen before. Later, after Kyle's nap #1 and nap#2, Lisa patiently sat through a 90 minute paperwork-signing session for us. Kyle and I tried to keep occupied watching Shrek 2 on HBO and cathing up on the highlights (Words in Chinese but Pictures in English!) of this week's Premier League Matches (English soccer for those of you in Rio Linda).
Kyle and Lisa are both asleep in the room and I'm (you guessed it) in the Business Center. He's worn out from a full day. It seems like Feng Aitao is slowly leaving us and Kyle Lockhead is arriving. He's beginning to come out of his shell more and more. Lisa's still not feeling well - I'm sure tonight's Pizza Hut meal (3rd time this week) was probably ill-advised. But they were playing the DVD movie "Cars" through a PC and an LCD projector on a big screen, and we wanted to enjoy everyone's company so we joined in the Pizza party.
I'll use the rest of the time tonight with uploading some picutres from our past couple of days. Enjoy...

Loved the pictures. Especially the smiling one at the passport office. I think it's time to sit him down for a little talk and explain how many babies there would love to be going home with you and be full of smiles - kidding, of course.
Gaby's attached to my lap - much like Kyle attached to Charlie's arm - so this will most likely not be mistake free.
Lisa - one more time - when in doubt order dairy. Couldn't resist Hope you're feeling better again.
When you arrive in your new city - or it might have to wait until Hong Kong - try and find a jar of bubbles to blow for Kyle. Almost all little ones love that. And you might try bubble bath. First just let him see and play with the bubbles, blowing them, etc. and then put him in the tub with them. It may make bath time fun.
You really perked up my night last night after a boring day! Thanks.
Love............
