Each day with Quinn is like watching a flower open up. She is coming around and is full of life. Her personality is very outgoing and she has really taken a shine to Donovan. He spends so much time with her. I can't wait for MK to meet her. I know those two will hit it off. Tomorrow we will be going to Quinn's orphanage and her finding spot; the spot where she was found abandoned. I'm sure it will be a very emotional day, but I feel I need to see where she was raised for the first 18 months of her life. I also feel that I will have some sort of closure in my overactive brain.
Today has been a great day for all of us. Helen, our guide took us to White Cloud Mountain and we visited a beautiful park. The Chinese exercise....a lot!! Their whole culture is based on a healthy lifestyle. Elderly people and young people alike are out in the park each morning doing Tai Chi. They meditate, fish and play cards at lunch. They drink herbs to heal their ailments. (They use Western medicines as well.) Some people even take naps during their lunch break! That would be a great addition to the middle school lounge....a napping room! Anyway, the park has beautifully landscaped walking paths, with water features all over the place. Very zenlike. I've included pictures of our visit. Have a great day!! Kathi
ps. I used my first squatty potty today...FUN!

Wow! That is all I can say when looking at the pictures. I see the sparkle in her eye and can tell that this little angel was meant for you! Between her and MK, they are going to keep you hopping. Kathi remember all of your high school moments, I think you are going to get paid back two-fold and won't it be a joyously fun ride! Love, Lori
The squatty potty! That is hilarious! I love seeing the smiles on Quinn's face! She has found her forever family!
I hope this doesn't turn up twice. I think I've finally figured out how to leave a comment. You all look a perfect little family, as if you have always been together.
