Today we toured the Nanjing City Wall. This historic wall was completed in the late 1300’s by the first emperor of the Ming dynasty. The girls had a great time running up and down the steps. I wasn’t quite as nimble as they were! The next time we climb a wall in China I am going to make sure that all our girls are capable of walking on their own! It’s funny how a little peanut like Lily becomes a heavy sack of potatoes when Mom is climbing stairs.

Look at what ya'll have accomplished over the last couple days - it's official - LOVE the forever sisters picture - and did some touring! Yeah - they get heavy in a hurry! Here's an idea - if you are using ergo in the front - try an empty backpack with a couple bottles of water in it for ballast - even your balance up - it worked for us and if it got too heavy the water could be dumped!
Happy for you guys - can't wait for more!
hugs - aus and co.
I will traveling to Nanjing this year to adopt our second child a boy this time.....I love following, and we have a Lily that is amazing as well! Congrats
Love the blog! Nanjing had the first Forbidden City.
A “new city” was built to the east of the old one to be used as a new palace or “forbidden” city. This city was laid out in much the same pattern as Beijing; indeed Nanjing’s was the pattern for Beijing’s Forbidden City.

Vicki! I think that's the guide we had, Denise, in your picture?!
We loved her! Please tell her that Brent, Selina, Ellie, Ethan, and Gabbey said "hello" and that we're doing GREAT! :)
Yep, the wall with two non-walkers was fun for us, too! But it's beautiful from the top!
How is everything going? Lily is gorgeous!
