We made it to Guangzhou and boy are we happy to be here! sorry for the lack of posts. Our last day in Jinan was really sad for us- Greg left early Friday morning and we all had a sad start to the day. We had to check out of our hotel at 12 and spent the rest of the day waiting for our plane. We arrived in Guangzhou at 9 pm, but poor Kristi's flight was delayed and she didn't arrive until 11 pm. By the time we made it to our hotel and got ready for bed it was 1 am. We really like our hotel here and it's really cool to be located in the middle of the street market. We walk through the pet market and the herbal market to get to Shamian Island. Very interesting, to say the least.
We went for Kelly's medical examination this morning- she had to have four shots and a TB skin test. She was so brave- didn't even flinch. She continues to amaze us with her sweet spirit and kind nature. This evening we will meet at Lucy's for dinner with several other families. We met two other families this morning that are also with Madison Adoption. Kristi and I had a nice time shopping on the island after Kelly's medical exam. This was our first chance to do any shopping at all. Tomorrow we will go with our guide to the pearl market and some other places. The weather has been great- such a nice change from Jinan! I was finally able to pull out the flip flops! I promise to do better posting from now on!

Wooooo Hoooooo GUANGZHOU!!!! I think everyone sings a verse of the Hallelujah Chorus when they finally arrive there!
Sorry Kelly had to get 4 shots. Ouch! I thought they stopped doing that to the kids at the medical exams.

Wow! I just got back to blogging my own and see you've been very busy yourself! I knew you were starting the process to bring home Cai the last time I was able to read your journey's...now to see you have 3 daughters from China! How wonderful. I'm so excited for you.
Cate is such a stunning and amazing child. I'm so happy she is doing well. The story about her cutting Cai's hair totally cracked me up! Thanks for sharing. I hope to be less of a reading stranger on here as I get back in to blogging myself. I hope your family is having a wonderful winter and adjusting well to all you are doing.
