Saturday's outing was to a Buddhist Temple and Pagoda all within Green-hill Park. The Pagoda was nine stories high. Eric did it carrying Jeremy all the way. It was a beautiful view. The picture above shows the Buddhist monks praying in front of the statue of Guayin, one of four Buddhist gods. He is the god of mercy.
At the Buddhist Temple we were offered a blessing for the babies. They required a donation so that pretty much sealed the deal for Eric. No blessing. The blessing consisted of some prayers, oil on the babies head, ringing a bell over the babies head and ended with the baby receiving a red dot on her forehead. We were glad not to have done it.
Now we're back in the room. Jeremy is resting. We have some pictures from today. We may wait to post them until we get to Guanghzhou. The high speed connection that's promised here isn't all that it's supposed to be. We have some great pictures of Jeremy without his pacifier and he's even smiling in a couple. He's starting to get comfortable and is warming up. He still doesn't like me (Angela) that much and prefers to be held by daddy. What a shock it will be for him when daddy goes back to work. We're enjoying hearing form everyone back home. It makes us feel not so far away.
Angela,
ReplyDeleteIt was great to hear from you too, athough we have enjoyed Eric too! I know that Jermey will love his mommy, how couldnt he! Anyway, we cant leave a post of Bruno's webite, so please tell them we are reading there site to but it seems to be locked. I am so excited for both of you and cant wait to meet our new CREDO babies! By the way, I went to Thanksgiving dinner at the Torres and did great! Also went out for a couple of hours shopping! Please tell Mary that, she will be proud of me! Love to all of you! looking forward to your next post!

Hey Angela and Eric,
ReplyDeleteKeep all the details of yur trip coming - It's so interesting! I forgot to tell you a cute story about Eli. He thinks Devyn and Kirsten are my big brothers (or atleast refers to them as such), and he's very intrigued by the fact that my big brother Devyn can get out the cookies and start snacking without having to ask me first! Anyway, thought you might get a kick out of that. Have fun with Jeremy!
Love Joannie
So great to here all this news. I can tell it is you writing instead of Eric. Man, I am going to NOT tell Tigger about the store and what you saw. No point scaring her before she meets Jeremy. Been putting up Christmas lights and had to check in. Jeremy will be fine with you really soon. I just know he will. He will love you both! I think you are one of the best Moms I know, so he will come around soon. Miss you guys! Love and prayers, too. Amanda
