Ok, in my house we have a saying.."If momma aint happy, aint nobody happy".
I don't take the heat well. I hate it, especially when they expect us to sight see and to climb 3,000 steps with a child. I am trying to rush the group through the sights so we can head back to the bus but my husband has to stop and read every friggen sign..and ask questions about the emperors and history...And in my head I am shouting.."LET'S GO ! "In my opinion this is not fun...
So today, Hank went to the zoo with the group and I decided to go to the pool with Myah. We put on our suits and off we went...Ok ..let me just say I had a blond moment. I went to the pool and it said 1.5 meters...duh, I was thinking 1.5 feet. So I step into the pool with Myah for the first time and plummeted to the bottom of the pool with Myah. I came up gasping for air. I looked around to see if anyone saw me, and of course an entire group of Asian women were laughing their ass off. Myah, coughed up some water but found it funny once she was able to breath.
We played in the water for awhile and she picked up real fast. I put her on the wall and counted to 3 and said "jump" and she did!.
Hank came back to the room after the zoo and thanked me up and down for not going. He said it was unbearably hot and steps everywhere. He was miserable and I am sure he didnt want to deal with my complaining.
I had a woman chisel the faces of my 4 children on a piece of marble. It came out so nice. An heirloom for sure.Here are some pictures of Myah and some our our breakfast buffet area...

LOL!! Reen - the only time we ever learned the metric system was when we were in labor - you learn 10 centimeters real fast!!! The pool was a fucking pisser!! What's with your kids and pools??? Always at the brink of drowning! We keep missing eachother on Skype - Your days look "clearer" than Beijing...lots of smog - we swear its coming thru the TV! Thanks for the translations on your Refrigerator- Remember, Yimu is aunt and Jimu is Uncle - no cousins in the dictionary! XXOO

**Let me know if I should call Abuella...
The whole pool incident is hysterical!! Megan was doing metric in school this past spring and I had to run to the internet to figure out conversions to make sure she was right!!!

Yeah, i have no luck with pools..annette remember the West Nyack Swim Club when I jumed in with my friggen clothes because the lifeguard was chatting with a chic and my son was drowning...I saved his life and I was in a panic and all you and Ken (and the rest of the club) did was laugh your butts off. Nice !
I dont get the metric sustem..I hate it. went to the doctors and he said your daughter is 88 cm..And in my head I thinking "is that good or is that bad" Why is he telling me that. I was trying to figure out how tall that is in feet. So we start brainstorming..12 inches in a foot, then 30 cm in a foot..makes it 2.7 feet. (took us 3 hours to figure that out). too much thinking to do around here. Don't get me started with the kilo's
ps. Annette no need to call Abuela..We call her using the computer. (and you can call her Alej if you like)
I just DIED laughing when you went straight to the bottom. That is the best mental picture ever. Poor Myah thinking shes safe in the hands of her mommy and shes got a mouth full of water. Anyways, i am enjoying reading about your journeys and I am so happy for you and the family!! She is so friggin cute and I can't wait to meet her!
I can only imagine the expression on your faces when you entered that pool. Glad you're still amongh the living! Just keep swimming...just keep swimming...
OK - The reason I can't get you is because Skype is saying u blocked me! I'm your sister - what's with the blocking YIMU?!
no way, are you blocked..?.Then Hank must of put caller block on you. What's the magic word? Come on , you can say it....."PLEASE"
LOL
Jillian and I hate being hot too. This is when you need one of those crazy water fans. Hilarious about the pool. That's a good one. Afraid it is not any cooler here.
ok I finally got this posting thing down. I wasn't sure it was working had to get the whole password thing happening. Love the marble picture of the kids that is totally AWSOME Can't wait to meet her. She can slap Jaxson around and keep him in line. He's getting into everything.
Im so happy for you all but we miss you!!! I just got back into town I took Josh to Wisconsin for COLLEGE I cant believe it he has already made friends in just the few days we were there I dont have anymore tears but the trip was good

Leon & Bonnie
