A boring day in Jinan


Today, it is again over 100 degrees with the heat index.  I just don't do well in that kind of heat.  Robert has been out a few times and come back exhausted and soaking wet.  Yuck!  We did go down to the lobby for a while so they could clean our room.  Exciting times, lol! 
 
Attached are a few pictures from today.  The alleyway one Robert took while he was out.
 
Tomorrow we have to meet the driver in the lobby at 8:30 am to go to the airport to leave for Yunnan.  Monday we get Alexa!  I am not sure what time yet, but I may or may not be able to update the blog until Monday night.
 
While Robert has been out, I have really tried hard to bond more with Avery.  She tolerates me for a little while, then goes to the opposite side of the room.  Playing the magnetic paper dolls went well, but then she was done.  I have sang, danced, made funny faces, created things with playdough to show her, etc.  Please continue praying.  I know it has been a little less than 3 days, but it is hard to be rejected.
 
On a happier note, she showered and dressed in new clothes with no problems!  Woo hoo!  She sees I put on lip gloss after I eat, so she has started doing the same with her princess lip gloss. 
 
In Yunnan it is like spring all year long.  Can't wait for the mid 70's so we can get out!
 
Thanks again for your prayers!
