2 awesome, yet totally unrelated things in Guangzhou

We have discovered to our surprise that Jada is not a morning person. When she wakes up, she likes to lay around for 45 minutes to an hour. So, that gives us some time to "wake up" before she gets to walking and exploring. Then we fix her bottle and she lays down and eats. Neat thing we found out this morning is that she started to hold her own bottle!! Now we have free hands to hold our coffee.

We need coffee. Jada has not slept a full night since the first night. 11pm, 2am and after that 4am, 5am and 6am she was fussy and ya-yain'. Might be the medicine, might be she's taking naps all day trying to finally get rid of the cold. Oh well, its a small price to pay to lose a little sleep. It's all worth it in the morning when she gives us her first smile!


While looking for ESPN Sportscenter here, (they have MANY more US channels here in this city), I stumbled across something incredible! Karate movies with no dubbed English speaking characters! They'r fighting and speaking their native tongue! No audio in English that don't match the lips of the actors. When their lips move, they talk! Take a look at some of the action.


Although ugly and intimidating, this is the hero of the flick. He ended up with 5 arrows in his legs and back, but still fought off the enemy with a expert mixture of nature defying leaps and acrobatics and masterful sword defense and martial arts expertise.


Other than that, we're going touring today. We're going to a museum and then to Wal-mart to pick up supplies for us and the babies. We will also get to be reunited with all the couples that we have been missing since being split up Monday morning. We also get to see the other babies.

See ya'll soon!

Gered, Brandi & Jada

just word of advice - if she's getting over a cold, make sure her head is elevated a little when she "lays" down drinking the bottle. this will keep any extra "fluid" from draining into her ears and will be a preventive measure against ear infection...
she's adorable!

Uncle Gered.
Thanks for updating us on the movie selection, but don't you think you should be packing your bags to get back over here! I want to hang out and play with Jada now!

...Sorry Gered. Dawson took over the keyboard again.


Y'all be careful,
