So, Another Rainy Day

We woke up this morning to snow and rain (again). Our field trip got canceled because we would have had a decent walk to the temple in bad weather.

Somehow we managed to lose one of our bottles yesterday, so we are down to one that uses the disposable liners. You can’t get them here, so we will probably pick up a spare bottle that we will just wash out in the sink.

Living out of the hotel room is getting really old. There isn’t a common area that is heated where the families can gather, so we haven’t had a ton of interaction with the other families. It looks like it is getting better out, so we may venture outside later. All of the families are getting a little stir crazy.

Gracie took a good nap this morning after breakfast, and we now have some toys to keep her occupied. I have a few albums in iTunes on the computer, and Paul Simon’s Graceland is Gracie’s favorite. She does a little dance to the song Graceland. She also likes the Beatles, Paul McCartney, and the Traveling Wilburys.

Tomorrow we have some more paperwork to do for Gracie’s passport and visa. On Saturday we fly to Guangzhou. The weather there looks like it will be a lot nicer.

I’m back.

Gracie had a play date today.  Pam and Joe came over with Sophie for about an hour.  The girls got along pretty well, but they mainly played by themselves.

Other than that it was a pretty uneventful day.  We never went outside; we didn’t feel like dealing with the cold today.  On the other hand, Gracie got two full naps and had peas, peaches, and currant juice for dinner.   Angela is giving her her final bottle, and she is already asleep in her arms.  She has settled into an 8:00pm bedtime, which is nice.
