Shaman Island









My stomach is not feeling too great at the moment 😕 so this will be a brief recap of our day- we headed to Shaiman Island to do some shopping and had a great time. The island is by far my most favorite part of China.  Katie was here 8 years ago but sadly did not remember much at all.  We met a nice young man at the White Swan Hotel  who was so kind and helpful to us as we struggled to find a taxi to take us back to our hotel. I know the Lord placed Steven in our paths to help us in our time of need. The taxi driver who took us to the island did not use the meter and charged us double the fair rate. I knew it but was helpless to do anything.  Thankfully our ride back to our hotel was for half the price of the ride over.  
Lucy Rose is amazing us each day. She is already taking steps alone and can do amazing things with her left hand / 2 fingers!  She is not eating nearly enough though. For dinner, maybe 4 bites which were so tiny I should probably say 2 bites. Prior to adoption, her diet consisted of congee, watery rice broth, and bottles of formula. I am praying she begins to eat a more well balanced diet. Skittles and teddy grahams go down fine so she certainly has the ability to chew and swallow. She just isn't wanting to do much of it!  Please say a prayer for my tummy issues and for all 3 of us who have a touch of a cold and for Lucy Rose to start eating. Thanks for following along and for praying for us!
