Few More Pictures

Just thought I would post a few more pictures of TIanjin from our hotel room, hanging out in the room and my favorite sleeping babes. We got our first hugs last night before bed. Russ had to ask her for them but once she hugged him she willingly went around and gave everyone hugs with a smile on her face. Now we just have to work on waking up with a smile!
