What a Day.

October 14, 2010

Well, we had a rough day today so far. Why?

Well, Ms. Audrie had to have her medical examination today. First of all, the lady picked her up--which she does not like anyone else to pick her up. Next, and possibly worst of all, she took off Ms. Shoe Princess's shoes. Oh man..... she was so upset. She did not even cry that much when we got her three days ago.

So, while we are waiting at the clinic- SUPER Crazy by the way, we realized that we did not have our camera. I had given it to Jerry in the hotel lobby and he and Audrie were looking at pictures. She loves to look at them. Well it must have gotten set down. It is gone. Hoping our travel insurance will cover it. We will see. On the brighter side, at least I downloaded yesterday morning. We only lost last night and this morning pictures. Life goes on, I keep singing, who needs pictures with a memory like mine. We have reported to the hotel. We are praying that someone turns the camera in to lost and found.

So, next, Ms. Audrie had to get 6 shots. Broke our hearts. She was soooooo UPSET! The most upset I have ever seen her. Mom and Dad cried with her. Amazing how God can form such a bond in our hearts so very fast.

Imagine our little girl in a very cute outfit that says "Daddy's Lucky Charm" (Aunt Lisa Benson got it for her) She looks adorable today. The pants were a little big, so yes, mom learned how to make shift sew. I whipstiched her lil pants in the back so they would stay up. We had started out for breakfast and her pants fell down half way down the hall.

The kids are down for a nap, and I think I may take one myself. It has been a day. We are looking forward to the zoo tomorrow. She really enjoys watching animals.

  2. Sounds like you are doing a great job of 'rolling with the punches'! This is me sending you tons of praise for that!!!

    We will miss seeing pictures :( But aren't you in China? Can't you pick up another camera? Aren't they all made there anyway - LOL

    Thank you for sharing little bits of your daughter's personality with us...love that she loves shoes! (and her Daddy & Mommy)

  3. Amie, when we were there 2 years ago, there was an "electronics mall" somewhere in the city of Guangzhou - not too far from the China Hotel (or so I heard - we did not go). I know that those who went stated that they picked up some REALLY cheap electronics there....and I'm betting that you could pick up a camera there for really cheap. Ask your guide or concierge at your hotel - someone will know where it is. You probably have already figured out the cab thing, but you can have the concierge make you a card that tells the cabbie where to go, and then he can also make you another that tells a cabbie where to bring you home to. Cabs were pretty cheap ($2???). Maybe that will help a bit???? Good luck.............

  4. Forgot to mention that you should not buy an "expensive" camera if you do find that electronics mall - they are made REALLY cheaply in China - they are typically not of the made-for-Americans quality. So don't expect miracles if you drop the thing........... :)
