It was a bitter sweet night. We were all excited to get home to Canada for our families to meet our new little ones, but we were sad to be leaving our Gotcha families... These wonderful families we had just shared some of the most endearing moments with, were going away. We miss you all.</span></div><div><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi83GqJOFJWCUl6zYtRhpM00XNrMRjx2Ug7Re5h-xypIh8EIOoEGtnrv2bCk001gE6g2lVTkLLk0sZBrimdxXkEXlukjCnc2ZIFpY4OrTSP6XBfMWk7z4Z-G-9KK9bQ5cbcXy8lK1zGfpo/s1600/adoption_part2_2010+430_Medium.JPG"><img style="display:block;

There was an indoor viewing area but it was so crowded, but we got to see some really cool views from the outside too. The big one, which I think they said was a baby-child (they must be wrong on that, because that is one big baby), was sleeping on a platform. It was so wonderful to see the strength in this animal just by its breathing. If you looked slowly, you could see the post and the platform moving as the animal was breathing heavily. The next Panda that is seating was having a lunch of Bamboo. It was really cool to see the animal just break the strong wood like it was spaghetti. Unfortunately, Lana fell asleep and did not get to see much of the Pandas but Nyah really enjoyed it.<br /><br />We then got to go visit other parts of the zoo. It was really busy and very hot, so we could not see as much as we would have liked too. Lana enjoyed the tigers also because she recognizes the large animal as a Cat and she does the sign of Cat, by taking her hands and making whiskers and saying “meow”<br /><br />Then we were off to see the elephants, this is one of my favorite animals. I love how large and smart they seem but yet they seem so gentle. Lana was intrigued by their large size. I can’t wait to take her to the African Lion Safari. .</span><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjC4pRYaXrVWbCNzUIWbdFlexXMXtFjseQ_IuMaNTSXuIGsNjudEDHERQzPyCB7fVwHKW6_kR9Bb3Hct4bmbRP1LnS-1nJ5L1M9No2p_4JUae98m0wwPeIGY2Agxxd2gXh1uJ1gkTJpowU/s1600/DSC_9737+(Medium).JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center;

We found as the days pasted, when we were in the bus taking adventures, she would get more reserved, but be happy in the room at the hotel.<br /><br />Thiese pictures are from our trip to a very old historical site - Western Xia Tombs. Which is like 900 hundred years old and are eastern foot of Helan Mountain. There was alot of history conveying the battle of the minorities and China. The pictures does not show it but the backdrop of the tombs are the mountains that boarder China nad Inner Mongolia...

Lana really enjoys coloring and playing with the crayons. Her coloring has gotten better day by day, it is so amazing. Interestly, she has started to break the crayons in half and give half to Nyah. What a great sharer... I guess :)<br /><br /><br />In this picture she is so serious, which is her natures so far, but she loves to play and laugh too. She is simular to Nyah with her serious side, so far...<br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjC2Da1tLwOowqyqCLzz25k9B_Ex5gynTmE7RKMRWRbKzcTLNZ2E55hLmXmfvC1-Inixo0bm4iMyI1SDx_0rIcn3DzKvr0uiDl94rv4OmiSrOaG0yKs7hmkWKbBJMkYTNPTq3gZ342KNYU/s1600/DSC_9130+(Medium).JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 213px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5470349820669635650" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjC2Da1tLwOowqyqCLzz25k9B_Ex5gynTmE7RKMRWRbKzcTLNZ2E55hLmXmfvC1-Inixo0bm4iMyI1SDx_0rIcn3DzKvr0uiDl94rv4OmiSrOaG0yKs7hmkWKbBJMkYTNPTq3gZ342KNYU/s320/DSC_9130+(Medium).JPG" /></a><br /><br />This is a picture of the new sisters.

It was really neat to see although sad. The crowd around thought it was something.<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikr2x-xoMWMU7Fh4y6GFORcaj2Ieq_r-zYN5BmpF-INnFR0AtAfqOSgS-fpfHFXJ7DEINQu_mrQeSoxYqczkslpVIWxfSl98oglxFBOp56ngNTZ6_hH4ow159NOGbAWdO9zd8Ys_b3_Ck/s1600/DSC_9159+(Medium).JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 213px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5470349623585808466" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikr2x-xoMWMU7Fh4y6GFORcaj2Ieq_r-zYN5BmpF-INnFR0AtAfqOSgS-fpfHFXJ7DEINQu_mrQeSoxYqczkslpVIWxfSl98oglxFBOp56ngNTZ6_hH4ow159NOGbAWdO9zd8Ys_b3_Ck/s320/DSC_9159+(Medium).JPG" /></a><br />Today, we finally got to go and have some fun with the kids outside of the hotel. We went to a local park. Lana was so interested in the bubbles and she really enjoyed it. Although today she has been quite down, I guess her new world is starting to sink in. But once we got back to the room, she was so happy and playing, she even enjoyed a pony ride on Daddy...<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbS_ILIZi3o4uVaB5lwjaFKTyoywZ6mvvA4WjhIAj12KTS6e1XrW-4b1bGwhAoFwoX9Gok5ks9gdFb2Ff8q8HPO6JoIWkOjykD5qR62LEGyQUlJots0pYDMEd8twArN0r73rB_6sxbr6M/s1600/DSC_9233+(Medium).JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 213px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5470349612469235874" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbS_ILIZi3o4uVaB5lwjaFKTyoywZ6mvvA4WjhIAj12KTS6e1XrW-4b1bGwhAoFwoX9Gok5ks9gdFb2Ff8q8HPO6JoIWkOjykD5qR62LEGyQUlJots0pYDMEd8twArN0r73rB_6sxbr6M/s320/DSC_9233+(Medium).JPG" /></a><br />This place is a very important place for Lana's history. This is the location that she was found at. It was outide of a noodle restaurant. At somepoint this place and the surrounding may be very important to her.

The man standing next to Marc & I is the director and on the other side of me, past the other man is the directors wife. Everyone was so happy for us and the girls. They gave me a gift so a very tradtional sheep skin scarf and necklace for Nyah and Lana. You could really feel the love from the workers for the girls. It was a very special day for everyone.<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxCixjxveCijzilQTGzecCFBhhBpo6GO_PXNGLPR33ie04cDd8-btmoalehvJ1viP5hOdAmyPjkW8vhro4KxvDOgzMh_JoXDGGaJq48OcW3t95iSbB73JZjP3C_pUFqlYUIFItn8FykMs/s1600/DSC_9083+(Medium).JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 213px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5469934813596732994" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxCixjxveCijzilQTGzecCFBhhBpo6GO_PXNGLPR33ie04cDd8-btmoalehvJ1viP5hOdAmyPjkW8vhro4KxvDOgzMh_JoXDGGaJq48OcW3t95iSbB73JZjP3C_pUFqlYUIFItn8FykMs/s320/DSC_9083+(Medium).JPG" /></a><br />This is a photo of the Director and his wife. They was all so wonderful. I tried to tell them thank you for caring so much for Lana. The guide did the translating and of course I cried. the director seemed to be very compassionate and sincere about what we were feeling. It was very special and a great memory for me and something to share with Lana.<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPYPY-J2HouHVw1dto7i13ctULAuS5ZeD1JrxZFDDsrSArzba_tPJ5O2DQCYEFsg8z_lTcjs7N63b4rVGe1pZ1Pz7WQ95lX5JgijWBqdciT5be3LaRWgsCM3Sq_GPGC_RtHzmq0IQ39Iw/s1600/DSC_9117+(Medium).JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 213px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5469934804548010882" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPYPY-J2HouHVw1dto7i13ctULAuS5ZeD1JrxZFDDsrSArzba_tPJ5O2DQCYEFsg8z_lTcjs7N63b4rVGe1pZ1Pz7WQ95lX5JgijWBqdciT5be3LaRWgsCM3Sq_GPGC_RtHzmq0IQ39Iw/s320/DSC_9117+(Medium).JPG" /></a> This is Lana back at the room with us. She is having fun exploring with paper and crayons and playing with Nyah. It was so funny. Nyah wanted to change into some new clothes and as soon as Lana saw that she really wanted something new too. And she was so proud and full of smiles to see her new clothes.<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidfy2wTBHv6Mkwtk9f8T4q6BIOfvrd_5MjnVDFFzOonC5zc8gU-3BEyE82Hmib7Jqj7jRvDHqt0_oMM1tGoNg9HxKKO-8x3A6sxaqt-2aLUtM8q-eY76c4RqKg274pVWAFTAQ1htDBQmI/s1600/DSC_9121+(Medium).JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 213px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5469934803059818114" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidfy2wTBHv6Mkwtk9f8T4q6BIOfvrd_5MjnVDFFzOonC5zc8gU-3BEyE82Hmib7Jqj7jRvDHqt0_oMM1tGoNg9HxKKO-8x3A6sxaqt-2aLUtM8q-eY76c4RqKg274pVWAFTAQ1htDBQmI/s320/DSC_9121+(Medium).JPG" /></a><br />This is our first supper with Lana. The day was so long that we were just exhausted, that we had our dinner in the room. One thing I forgot to mention, LANA LOVES FOOD... ANY AND ALL FOOD... AND LOTS OF IT... AND LOTS OF WATER TOO. Yesterday I think she drank like 4 litres...</div><div> </div><div>It seems that just in in our hotel room Lana has discovered a completely new world and facinated by every and all things from the bathtub to the dimmer switch for the lights... she was taking in everything that she possibly could.

After a long 13+hours on an airplane, we are arrived in Beijing, China looking a bit haggard and tired but still running on adrenaline. The flight went wonderfully and although I worried, Nyah was a great little trooper. Thank goodness for the Air Canada plane with the fancy seats that has a TV at each seat... Nyah watched a lot of Treehouse and we played some Uno. She also did some sleeping.<br /><br />Today we headed to a park that was so beautiful – what a great way to celebrate Mother’s Day.

Nyah has recently (like yesterday) taken up hola hooping and she is loving it. At our visit to Canadian Tire, she found this hola hoop and she just tried it and was doing great... But then we found out the hoop was like $8.99. Isn't that crazy, I remember it being so much cheaper as a kid and Marc didn't want to pay that much for it. So I remembered some money that Taunt Ingrid sent Nyah at Easter that she still had...</span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">So after I reminded her about the money and told her she could get she was so excited.
