Day 5 - Nanchang

Today has been a day without any "business" to tend to which has been nice.  Our China Coordinator, Chris, took us to see two temples.  It was nice to get out and see Nanchang a little!  We really like Nanchang!  The temples were beautiful.  One of the temples had a special ceremony going on today where people were coming to talk with people that have passed away.  It was neat to see the celebration/ceremony.  The other temple was out on a peninsula of a lake.  It was very peaceful there.  I have posted pictures of our day below.

Gwyndolin is doing just beautifully!  She is such a sweet baby!  She is very playful and she likes to babble.  She loves to copy mouth movements.  She likes to open her mouth and then close it really quick.  She also likes to imitate kissing sounds.  We love her so much!  The last 29 hours of our lives have been very surreal.  I hope that I never forget the scent of Gwyndolin that first day before we bathed her.  She had a very distinctive scent - probably from the shampoo or soap they used to bathe her before they gave her to us.  I know if I ever come across that scent again, I will probably just cry!  This is such a special time!  Well I'm typing this one handed with a wiggly baby on my lap, so I'm going to get to posting those pictures....  Thanks for all the congratulations!

Good Morning Gwyndolin!
