Gracie Lin is adjusting amazingly well I think. She continues to surprise me with how well she is doing. She loves her Mama and especially loves her brother Parker. We have had great nights of sleep and just easy days as far as how Gracie and Carter handle the outings.
Today we went to Mt. Lu as they call it here. It was the most beautiful place! It's their vacation spot like Highlands and places like that for us except that there is so much history there! There have been many major political meetings on the mountain. When I say on the mountain, I mean we hiked for 45 minutes to get to the site of their meetings and built into the side of the Mountain is a small building with a courtyard where they met. It is possibly now a tea room but it wasn't open. There was an older gentleman there who just looked wise. He wrote poetry on fans in calligraphy based on meaning to their names. When they read the fan to Parker he just stared with huge eyes (I think he was wondering if we planned this in advance). His fan said that he is very smart and needs to study, he will be very successful if he has ambition. :)

Happy family photo!!!
Gracie's cousin Aubrey Mei - well, we've decided they are cousins. These babies were born four days apart in the same city and look like they 'could be' cousins. She is a sweetie!
When our bus stopped, we couldn't even see that there was a house in the middle of this lake because of the clouds that move across the mountain. The clouds moved so quickly across the lake that we saw it vanish and reappear several times during our short walk around.
Floral Path
Every where we go, people want to take pictures with Parker like he is a celebrity!
No subtleties here!

There is so much more to this day that I'll add later.
