Looking East and West

Baby makes 3 - we have JJ and she has us

We made it to Hohhot yesterday around 1:30 and it has been a whirlwind ever since.
 
We had to change money, and by the time we got back to the hotel the babies were waiting.  They had the girls dressed in the most beautiful padded outfits - they were both stunning sights.
 
JJ went right to Joe, who kept her busy while Momma did paperwork and more paperwork.
They reviewed her schedule with us (very scheduled life, and works well)
 
JJ teared up once or twice, but no major meltdowns.  We followed the schedule they gave us and she ate table food with us and went right down to bed.  BTW, she is potty trained in the Chinese way - amazing.
 
She was OK with us even this morning.  She looks very serious, but seems to be adapting well.  Joe did get a smile and giggle by walking her to the fish pond in the upstairs lobby.
 
She loves the fish.  She really is an outdoors gir.
 
The locals say she has a Mongol look to her, but with a toddler who can tell (BTW she is cruising very well). 
 
We finalized the Chinese portion of the process about 45 minutes ago - we have the american side to go 
 
Thats all for now.  We need lunch.  Heres a  photos to tide you over. connection is very slow or I would add more.
