Day 4 - China is Real.....

Well we left the hotel this morning and made our way to a village outside of the city of Nanchang. This hit close to home for most of us for the reason that perhaps each of our daughters could have ended up growing up in one of these places. Profound to say the least......take a look at what we saw today, you will get it once you see these pictures. Looking up the village street,
our hearts go out to these people and as bad as it looks they are all smiling..... The man above invited us in to look around at his house.....this is what we saw... Sparse living conditions but they seem to have all that they need. I guess we all need to be thankful each and everyday for what we have.... After the trip out to the village we went to look at some Porcelain. As we all know China is famous for it's porcelain production but it's particularly the porcelain that comes from Jingdezhen, Jiangxi which is most famous. This is the capitol of procelain production in China. Here's some of the Porcelain we purchased today We're all doing good. Madi is becoming more use to us and has really warmed up towards us. She loves touching our faces and loves to laugh and giggle. We are so trully blessed. Last night she went down for the count at 9:30 and slept until 7:30 this morning. She has three naps a day one in the morning one just after lunch and one late in the afternoon each for about 1 1/2 - 2 hrs, this seems to be working so if it's not broken don't fix it...right? I treid to find an online manual for these precious little gifts from heaven and there doesn't seem to be any around....lol. Oh almost forgot pics of Madi, right Ange!!! Just after breakfast this morning... Mommy and Madi taking a nap...ahhhhhhh..... oh and how about another video....enjoy...

Sigh. I was in Nanchang just six months ago. I miss it. I can't wait to go back! We stayed at the Gloria right across the street from the Teng Pavilion.

Enjoy your trip!
