Today we went to the local food market in Nanchang and then the Peoples Park. The food market was definitely an experience, we seemed to get even more attention there than on the busy streets of Nanchang near our hotel. We saw hundreds of fresh vegetables and fruits and some really unusual gross stuff that will haunt me for awhile. We got firmly reprimanded by a pregnant Chinese woman for exposing our daughter's legs - but what can I say she's got really cute legs. The park was really beautiful and surprisingly busy considering it was mid-morning on a Thursday (the Chinese have a five day work week like us). After the park was yet another delicious lunch at a new restaurant called KungFu. That was where I was surprised by the roses and the amazing cake. (Hannah is big fan of icing - that's my girl.)
Hannah is as terrific as ever. Tiffany mentioned that she might turn out to be a shy girl, and I definitely have to agree - she talks to us alot, but around other people, she is content to sit and take it all in. Time will tell. Here are some things we have learned about Hannah thus far:
- She likes to be held... alot.
- She likes her bottles hot.
- Her tickle spot is her neck.
- She sleeps with her hands up.
- She learning to sit up on her own and roll over.
- When she does roll over, she does not like it.
- She likes to scratch (herself, others, furniture, whatever she's not picky).
- She's liked every food we have had her try (today was bananas and pears - big fan).
- She loves Cheerios.
- She likes music.
- Her favorite toy is the lanyard that came with our hotel room key.
- She likes her Daddy to put her to sleep.
- She likes her Mommy to feed her and change her dirty diaper... thanks Daddy.
- She's the boss and she knows it.

What a truly wonderful way to celebrate ten years of marriage! We wish you every happiness in the world and know how trully blessed you are now, with each other and "Hannah Bear"! Is "Hannah Bear" going to be her nickname for a while ... or forever? Our daughter, Leslie, became my "Pooh" as an infant and is still my Pooh. There was, however, a short period when she would be terribly embarased when I used it in public, but the early teen years are like that. That passed and "Pooh" was something that she still loves, at least from me.
The church bulletin board is getting full of "Hannah Bear" pictures, along with Momma and Poppa Bear.
Have a joyous day (night) and we can't wait to see what tomorrow brings. Some times ya just gotta love the Internet!
Peace and God's special blessings on you all.
Pastor John
