Emma really likes noodles, and spicy ones too. She just finished helping Baba eat spaghetti for dinner.
Here we are sitting out in front of the bookstore after shopping. The Chines are very curious and watch us everywhere we go. One lady made sure Emma was keeping her thumb out of her mouth during our picture.
Emma with Wendy our guide. Emma was looking at her Baba off to the side because he let Wendy hold her.
Emma loved walking around the front hotel lobby. The last few days she would go out on her own and get going a little fast and slip on the marble floors, luckily she did not cry each time she went down. 
Picture from our 18th floor elevator lobby.
Our guide told us to have our luggage outside our doors at 5:00 Am to be picked up and loaded into the van, and we have to have ourselves down to the lobby at 5:30. We have approximately a 1+ hour ride to the airport, and then a 3 1/2 hour plane ride.
We went to a bookstore today and bought some english/chinese picture books, a tour guide book of Gansu province and a music CD of Chinese children's music. We played it before nap time and Emma sure seemed to know some of the songs. One in particular, we were able to catch the chinese phrase "wo ai ni" which is chinese for "I love you" and she actually said it after it was sung in the song. We tell her wo ai ni all the time anyway. After her nap Jenn went over to Evelyn's room for a few minute and Emma said "MaMa" twice in a loud voice after Jenn left. Good sign.
We got Emma's Chinese passport today, which is what we have been hanging around in Lanzhou for. When we get to Guangzhou we will start the next round of paperwork for Emma to be able to enter the USA. We will be there another week while that paper work gets finalized and then be on our way home.
I will finish up and post next from Guangzhou. Thanks again for all the posts and e-mails, we appreciate hearing from everyone.
Eric, Jenn, Emma, and Evelyn

Wow! I have loved reading all the posts. I just arrived home from camp today and was anxious to read about all the happenings in China. She is beautiful. I love that you have shared so much of your time with her with us. I want to say so much more, but for now, know that I am praying for each of you.
