Well, the rest of the gang is sleeping, so I thought I would blog before I hit the hay. It was a very nice day with the girls. Much less jealousy today, although Daddy is a big hit and both want his attention at the same time. The girls are getting along together so wonderfully (as you will see by the pictures). We couldn't be more pleased and have thanked God for answered prayer. Molly was much less loud and boisterous today. Probably thinking about her situation and getting to know and trust us a little more. She does get quiet when she is looking through her photo albums of pictures taken at the orphanage with her friends. Although we may think of it as a sad place, it is very apparent that she has been close to the nannies and directors there and really miss them. We did have our guide ask her today what she would like to be called, Molly, Yingjin or Gungun. She replied that she wants to be called Molly, but unfortunately she is not used to hearing it and doesn't even look up when we call sometimes. Faith calls her Molly all the time, and Molly usually calls Faith mei mei or Moimoi.
Molly's new shoes - it took her forever to decide on a couple of pairs-but she sure loves pink!
We toured the Minority Museum today. Lots of old bronze drums (sorry you missed them Nathan!) and lots of clothes and other musical instruments for all of the minority groups in China. Many of them are from this area. We purchased some luck balls, which Guangxi is known for. It was so very hot today. Even though we were inside for part of the museum, they only had fans so not much relief from the heat. So needless to say we spent some time in the pool today (Cheryl, Faith and Molly). Molly loves the water! Faith is still a bit unsure of it. They had a blast!
Well we tried dinner again at the "long" restaurant next to the hotel. It is very interesting to order, but the food has been good!. We did get Pizza Hut last night and ate in our room. It was wonderful not to have to run after 2 girls and also wonderful to have some American cooking. Molly has been eating well and so has Faith for the most part. We are enjoying our trip so far, just wished it would be much less hot!I'm going for now to attach some pictures. Keep those prayers coming, we appreciate each and every one!
Can you tell they love to play with each other?!?
Love you,
the Crists

We just love keeping up with you. Thanks be to God all is going well and adjustments are coming along. We are really enjoying the photos and commentary.
Kiara has so much to say on your web-site.

Glad to hear all is well and the girls are enjoying each other. Such a blessing!
We are loving all the pictures. Kaylei asks to go see Molly pictures now. Stay cool!
I meant to add that Kaylei also asks where her sister is. She says, Faith has big sister; Kaylei gets little sister.
