Welcome to Guangzhou
I am soooo happy to be in Guanghzhou! This is a difficult trip, no matter which province you go to.Taiyuan was a tough city. Not much for us to do, little access in the city etc. Not to mention that we turned heads and stopped traffic every where went. By the end of the week it was getting pretty old. Sophie is worth it though...she is a funny, sassy, smart girl! We love her, even when she is being a stinker. Ben and Hannah have been great. This has been a challenging trip for us grown ups, but they have hung in there. It we had any money left we would buy them something really cool when we got home! LOL
Sophie had her medical exam and pretty much screamed the entire time. I had to bounce Chris out of the chair when they were trying to check her ears. He couldn't keep her head still. Hannah has always hated having the doctor look in her ears, so it was sister like sister. We did a little shopping today, because we all know nothing relieves stress like a little shoppy. We picked Sophie up some squeaky sandals and she loves them! They really are cute. She learned how to walk this week, just like my Dad predicted.
I will take some more photos tomorrow since we are all feeling better being in Guangzhou.

Thanks for your honesty. Shoping ALWAYS helps (in my little world). This really is a trip of a lifetime and it is so amazing that your kids and Dad are there with you both!!!

Moving along and heading for home soon!
Yeah! I am just now getting to shcek in with you. We returned the day you left. Be sure to check out. From China with Love. It is a wonderful store just a block away from where you are. Also Sherry's place makes the best deals on the and chops. We bought 3 chops with ink for 60 RMB. Tell her the crazy Mom of 3 says hello. I bought a ton of stuff from her.
We loved Guangzhou... there was a lot for the boys to do... I seem to remember a park along the Pearl River that had kid crafts etc...the boys made these sort of glittery sand drawings which we still have.
Sophie is such a cutie... enjoy the rest of your trip!
I'm sure you are packing for home now Maryellen. Wanted to be the first to say "Welcome Home Sophie!"
Safe travel...we are still waiting on TA day 18!!!
Maryellen, not sure if you are aware but we are in China too. We will not be to guangzhou until next week though. I agree that the provinces are a little rough. We are only here with one other couple but it's pretty much just hanging out in the rooms. (it's raining here) Hope you have safe travels home soon !!
Maryellen,
We pray all is well with your family, and your journey home is a safe and easy one! Can't wait for more pics!
Love,
Regina
