Hello all,
Today we visited the Museum in Hunan here dedicated to a mummified woman that was well-known here in China. Her husband was a government official that helped establish the city. According to their records, she died over 2000 years ago and then was burried in a tomb with a lot of expensive artifacts and statues so that she would have them for her future life as servants and possessions. :) Anyway, her body was so preserved that they made a whole museum exhibit to her. Her organs were there preserved 2 years ago when we were here, but have since been removed.
Then we visited the embroidery factor becauses Hunan-Jenna and Natalia's home province- is known for their silk embroidery.
Also, Jenna at lunch today.. Grandma can't take enough pictures. :)
Love to all,
Stephanie
PS. Keep up the responses. We look forward to reading as much as you do.

Wow, your blog is really bringing back a lot of memories, mostly about Kaitlyn. Every time a read this blog, I need to go and give Kaitlyn a big hug. Not that she would let me touch her in China. :-)
Also, seeing the Embroidery Factory reminded me of the cashier there. He had two-inch nails and could hardly separate the pieces of paper.
Keep posting pictures of your trip and your beautiful girl. We really enjoy them.

Jenna looks cute. I see that she is smiling more than natalia did when you got her. Have you got Jenna to laugh?
Adam is holding up is head when he is on his tummy. All these babies grow up so fast.
