Terra Cotta Soldiers

On Wednesday, the Buffalo family, along with our guide Sherry (who is the best), visited the Terra Cotta Soldiers museum. Sherry told us all about it on the trip to the museum then was our guide inside the museum. I had learned somethign about it from Coach Andy Runyan at Cabot High School.

Emmy was great except when we stopped in a gift shop to buy a jade bracelet. Emmy pitched a Lilly-Munnerlyn-Buffalo-Gaines-Raborn fit. She wanted her daddy to get her out of the stroller, which, of course, he did. I'm already wrapped around her pinkie.

Emmy loves to eat. We have a pretty good idea that she didn't get to eat as much as she would have liked in the orphanage. It is very difficult to tell her "no" especially when it comes to snacks.

On Tuesday when we visited the civil affairs office, one of the nannies gave Emmy a bracelet with her birthdate on it. There is a matching bracelet that she will receive when she comes back to visit. It was very touching.

Well, tomorrow (Thursday) is a free day for us. We'll probably wash some clothes and maybe get something good to eat. We'll meet Sherry on Thursday night to get some more paperwork from her from the notorary here in Xi'An.

Love to all

Mark, Linda and Mary Elisabeth
