Day on the town and a little quite time...
This afternoon we decided to be a little adventurous and walked down to the local shopping area about ten minutes away from the hotel. It was really interesting. They have very small shops and they are very specialized. Often people came up and touched Sadie – they were very nice. I wish I could speak Chinese and understand what they were saying… we could only imagine. Wayne said it felt kind of funny – we were really out of place verse all the rest of the people. They really looked at us as we walked from shop to shop. It was a nice time – cold and wind but a nice time. Sadie is still having issues with wanting to drink anything – I’m about to try a little Tsingtao, but Heidi will not let me – just kidding. We are a little concerned but she did eat well this morning for breakfast. We are having a nice bonding day but there are still times when Sadie has some “Troubles…” She really needs to drink some more liquids but she did eat well this morning. We will have a group dinner tonight and tomorrow off to the orphanage to hopefully meet and get some picture of Sadie’s foster family. It is about a 4-hour bus ride and we will stay in that town. Not sure if they have any Internet, so it may be an extra day before I get the pictures posted.

This website has become a sickness for me, I'm on it all the time! Thanks again for sharing your photos and thoughts. You look great even though I am sure you are tired. Love is certainly carrying you through. Have a great bus trip, will look forward to seeing more pictures when you get a chance to post them. Love you guys, Jenne
Nice new pictours! I heard Sadie is not drinking well. Gabaga said she will have to drink eventully. I can not wait till you get home with our new Pehkonen!
Love, Sawyer Pehkonen
Hi again. I'm sure you have already thought of this, but try some ice chips for sadie. Especially if you could find some flavored ones from a drink you may be enjoying. That could help get some fluids into her.
I'm enjoying your journey. Chris
Oh wow! I am so thrilled for you. Sadie is the cutest angel! What a wonderful and uplifting experience. I'm enjoying observing this miracle. You're right Rob, God has been busy at work orchestrating this! One thought on a way to help her drink more... she may not like the flow level of the bottle nipple you are using... I noticed you recieved some slow flow at your shower. Simply enlarge by sticking a sterilized pin in the hole to make it faster flow. Looking forward to learning more about the progress of your trip!

Can't wait to hear how your day at the orphanage was and if you were able to meet the foster parents. Did Sadie have the little photo album you sent her? The computer locked up this mornng and it was Gary to the rescue this evening. I was afraid Sawyer would have a meltdown if we weren't able to get to your messages. He has Sadie's pictures all over the head of his bed! He is one obsessed little guy, but then who isn't! It's such fun to read all the messages!! Love, Mom
