Guangzhou day 3

Busy day today. Up and at breakfast with our 2 sets of friends by 9. Then we took a taxi over to Shamien Island, which is where we stayed for Jack's adoption. We shopped for soveniers for the kiddos and it was hotter than blue blazes. We wore Leslie out and caught a taxi back to the hotel with another couple from our agency. It was nice to get back to the AC and clean up and relax. Then at 2:30 we met the group for a trip to the pearl and jade markets which is pretty cool. Leslie wasn't feeling too hot, so she and Claire stayed back. As soon as that trip returned, we were supposed to turn right around and head out for a group dinner that was a 15 min walk. Les was still feeling pretty crummy and didn't feel like getting back out in the heat so we skipped out on that and relaxed a little. Then I ventured out around the block to a Chinese restaurant for some take out. It took some good Charades' skills, but I got it done.
 
Little peanut was a trooper throughout the whole day. Everyday,  we see a little progress, which is an answer to prayers.

  2. Sweet pictures of Daddy and his little girl. I also love the picutres of Leslie and Claire from the other day. Sorry had to work and couldn't check the blog. It really looks like Claire is starting to open up to you both. I am so grateful that I get to witness this love in bloom.
    Leslie, I hope you get to feeling better. You will be home soon. Please be sure to let us know what time you all are coming into to KCI.
