Day Four at Home

Laina is settling in pretty well, although Sunday night was the first night we actually slept more than 2 hours since we got back! She is still on 'China Time' and wants to sleep all day and play all night. We are all a little dazed but trying to enjoy the nice weather and take some short walks and get out to visit. I am posting a picture of Laina and our kitty, Nick, to show how they stay close, he really seems to like her. We introduced her to our piano today, Jimmy recently acquired this old player piano from 1920, and just for fun we opened it up for her. She loved it and banged away at the keys. She likes anything that makes noises so maybe she'll be a musician some day...who knows? It is so fun to see her inspect new things. I'll put up a picture of her at the piano too. Just finished downloading all 953 photos from China, so I can easily find something to show you all from our trip! Our group will be sharing pictures also, since we couldn't help but take pix of the other families and all the cuties. Here's one of the mommies and the girls at the entrance to the zoo in Nanning. It was a really nice zoo, but no pandas, and the famous Asian elephants were inside where we couldn't see them. We did go to a dolphin show, and saw monkeys, lion, tigers, exotic birds and lots of other things. While we were there, a young couple came up to me and asked" will you take picture?', I said sure and reached for the camera, but he indicated that they wanted to take a picture of ME! I smiled and stood there, and now I wonder what story they will tell when sharing their photo albun....a white amazon woman? A frizzy-haired freak?(it was very humid, and anyone that knows me, knows that my hair is kind of, well, fuzzy and huge in that weather) We'll never know..
