Day 3 Comes to an End

It's almost bedtime for us so here's is a post to end the day with as I know you all look forward to our blog each day. We now have the video thing worked out so bear with us.... Today we went to the Tengwang Temple. This temple was first built in 650 AD and then subsequently rebuilt over 20 more times being destroyed each time. The last time it was destroyed was in 1922. It was only rebuilt in 1989, it it still close to the original design of the time. Tengwang Temple Part of the Water Garden at the Temple ome of the amazing design and artwork that exists inside the temple We finished up with a show that was put on by all a group of women who ended the show playing some instruments. When they started playing Madi's ears perked up and it was as if she was understanding what they were singing. The chinese ladies playing their intruments The rest of the day was given to us to relax and continue the bonding with our children. FOI our adoption agency goes to great lengths to ensure that they give an appropriate amount of time each day to allow the families to grow with one another. Yulin and Bob have a very rewarding job. It has to be very touching to see so many families brought together....Thanks FOI for this! Later today Madi and Dad decided to take a little nap, unbenounced to me there was a photo shoot..... So day 3 ends and tomorrow we venture out to rural China where we will visit a town that is famous for its Porcelain production.

Here's a little video of Madi and Mom....enjoy

Hi guys!! Just wanted to say that you guys look sooo happy and that Madi is soo adorable... I love her smile! I look forward to reading all your new posts as you are exactly where we were in January 2006 to get Kaylin. All your pics are very familiar as we visited all the same places you're seeing!! The tengweng palace was one of my favorite outings!! Enjoy every minute of every day ... it probably feels like time is going by pretty slow right now .. but when you look back on it in 2 years.. it will feel like you were only there for a few days!! I'm looking forward to meeting little Madi!! Take care! Edith
