Modeling New Clothes

Our little watermelon
Faith Elizabeth and Maddie
Two "sisters" forever
"Aren't we just the cutest?"

We went shopping today. I know this is hard for you to believe but I did more looking than shopping (for once). But, we are going back there tomorrow so I will shop then. I have gifts to buy for family and friends. It is just a matter of deciding what to buy for whom. I have seen so many things I would really like to have. Getting this all home is going to be a challenge. God is in control and Teri is helping me stay in control. I can't even begin to describe so many beautiful things we have seen here.

For instance, at the Cloisonne Factory, we saw paintings that were not really paintings. They were intricate embroidery. Totally amazing. Wish I could afford some of them. Very expensive and since I know how to embroider (absolutely NOTHING like this though) and the time it takes, I am simply blown away by the talent in this land.

For instance, today we saw painting done by the side of a hand. I couldn't believe what I was witnessing. No brushes, just the side of the hand. Paintings with leaves, birds rocks, anything you can imagine. Completely unbelievable.

I did buy the baby a few outfits. The pictures are of her and one of her little Chinese sisters (they came from the same orphanage and are just a few days apart in age). Her name is Faith Elizabeth and I have been adopted by her and her parents (Steve and Jodie) as her Memama also. They are from the state of New York.

We will be going to a museum tomorrow and then MORE SHOPPING!!!!!!!! Until next time.

For all the Moms out there 'HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY'.
