This is me after a week in China.

Worn, shriveled, and with a protective fur coat.
















This is Ethan with his buddy Declan. They are sweating more than they ever have in their little four years of life. No wait! They're at the zoo and they can barely breath because of the air quality. Ethan's daddy (in such a mess,doesn't want air time) needs to carry both of them, SIMULTANEOUSLY, through the park. They're shot.









Here's precious Sutton, just hanging out. Not too stressed. Hey! She says. You're a bunch of wimps! This isn't so bad! (Ethan took this perfect little photo, again!)









Poohy, says Ethan and Declan. My way to recover is at Pizza Hut with a huge plate of spaghetti!

And so it goes. Tomorrow morning we depart from lovely Nanning to Guilin. It is suspected it's even MORE rural than where we are. ~Is that possible? It's supposed to be beautiful but we MAY not have contact. Believe me. I hope we do. It's kept us sane. Stay tuned! Hopefully more. If not, we'll be in Guangzhou starting Tuesday night. Keep checking! I'll keep typing!
