Second Day as a family

Tuesday was a busy day for the Buffalo family!
We woke up at 6:15 a.m. and Emmy was soaked. She peed the bed but we took a quick bath and she was fine.
We went to eat breakfast about 7:30. Emmy loves watermelon and banana nut muffins. She kept begging for her mommy's muffin!
Sherry, our local guide, took us to the civil affairs office and we were interviewed as a formality. We then went to the police station for Emmy to have her picture taken for her passport back to America.
We then ate lunch at….Pizza Hut! They didn't have pepperoni but it was really, really good. Then Mommy, Daddy and Emmy all took a two-hour power nap before Sherry returned.
We then went to the square in Xi'An and saw a lot of really cool things, including artwork and a big pagoda. We even rode in a taxi…Mommy said it was like a bad ride at the state fair!
We'll try to update more later. Here are some pix we took today.
Love to all

Mark & Linda,
I am so glad you finally got your little girl. She is a doll.
I know you both are very excited.
I have been following your newspaper articles, and this web site. Your mom would have been so proud! It brings a tear to my eyes just thinking of you all.
CONGRATULATIONS !!!!
