Shop Til You Drop (Check out You Tube)









Last night was a great night Jaden slept the whole night and so did we. We woke up and had a very nice breakfast in the hotel. The White Swan has a huge buffet for breakfast with everything you could imagine. Chicken nuggets, tatter tots, french toast, cereal, fresh fruit, and the Chinese eat fried rice and other Chinese food they don't seem to eat sweet things for breakfast like we do. At the hotel in Nanchang the Galactic there were many odd things for breakfast like steamed chicken feet for one. Have I told you Jaden will eat every thing we give her she is a great eater, although I have not given her anything I wouldn't eat my self? Oh and yes some Chinese really do eat dog's and cat's. Its true.
After breakfast we went shopping for 3 hours and got lots of deals. Then we had lunch with another family. Then shopped some more. We had a wonderful dinner with a bunch of the other families at an incredible Chinese restaurant. You should see these girls eat their noodles. I have always pretty much minced up long noodles for the boys thinking they would choke. We give Jaden a long noodle and she chews it and slurps it up like no bodies business. It is the cutest thing to see all these tiny girls eating long noodles sucking them into their mouths.
We all have had a fun day. Being Jaden's mommy and daddy is an amazing blessing and has more rewards than you could imagine. When she just looks at you and smiles it is priceless because it wasn't too long ago that I would work my butt of just to get her to change her facial expression. Now she is smiling and responding to us and laughing and really enjoying us as much as we are her. You all are in for such a treat when you get to see her in person her smile is so beautiful. It's 8:30 p.m. here and Jaden has been asleep for about an hour so I'm gonna go now and relax from a long day of...shopping. I need to get some more sleep so we can shop some more tomorrow.
Love to all,
Janel, Ron and Jaden

Nicholas and Jacob, We really miss you and can not wait to get home. Last night we watched the video we took of the two of you singing Jaden's birthday song and we were so happy to be able to see you in motion and here your sweet voices. You two are loved so much and will have to peel us off of you when we get to see you on Tuesday. Only a few more days and we will all be together again. Thank you for being such good boys for Aunt Ce-ce. We will be bringing home many cool things for you and your cousins.
I am very sory that I was not home when you lost your first tooth Nick. I was sad that I missed that although I am glad you wrote the tooth fairy a note asking her not to take your tooth until I get home. Mommy loves you so much and can not wait to see you with your tooth gone. It is the bottom one right? Mommy and Daddy love you guys so much and are sending you lots of kisses and hugs.
Smooooooooooooooooooooccccccchhhhhhhhh
Huuuuuuuuugggggggggggggggg
