Nathaniel Paul Congxin

Hi everyone. I thought I'd sit down for minute before we catch the bus for
Tianjin, do you hear the excitement in my voice. This whole time I keep
saying, "I can't believe we are here." It feels so strange to be in this
experience, the experience I have been dreaming about for 2 years. My heart
is just so soft right now. I could cry at the drop of a hat and the happiness
I have is just so, right there. I have a few worries about tomorrow I have
been praying about. The first worry on my mind is the nuts and bolts of
feeding Nathaniel. I know he's 18mnths and probably quite a self sufficient
little guy but my mommy heart is worried he will need to drink and he wont
have the right kind of bottle or cup or that I won't mash the food up just
right. Silly I know but it's a worry. The other worry is that Dominic will
be very jealous and won't let me take care of Nathaniel. He has been very
clingy to me the whole trip, out of sorts due to the new environment and
really won't let my dad help out. I really want to be the one to take care of
Nathaniel but I will also be relieved if Nathaniel does take to my dad just so
that one of us can care for him. Worry, worry, worry. It will all work out
how it needs to.

The pictures I just tried to send but can't are of the great wall the jade
factory and the cloisonne factory. What I really want to do is take pictures
of people, you know the real stuff. Their faces are beautiful. I don't want
to offend them. Maybe I can exchange a photo for a postcard my dad brought.
Maybe I will just have to be offensive, that might be good for me. Well,
gotta go Dom's melting.
