Travel day - Lanzhou to Guangzhou

Today we packed up, ate breakfast and headed to the airport. We ran into another couple that we had met in Lanzhou at the airport. They are with another agency and had spend all week by themselves as they were in a different hotel. Super nice couple from Minnisota and they are adopting a little 2 year old boy. All three couples were on the same flight and are now in the same hotel in Guangzhou. We all got settled and met up for dinner. Any guesses where we ate? It was unanimous! McDonald's!! Right across the driveway from our hotel. Little Claire was a trooper today. She was soo good. She laughed and played all day and didn't even get a nap. The flight didn't even phase her, which is great news since we have roughly 16 hours of flying to get home. Our friends little guy, Anthony, got a little sick on the flight, but was in good spirits. We got in, un-packed a little, went to eat, did a little shopping, then came back to the hotel to clean up and unwind. So the little doodle was up until almost 9. She continues to progress in many areas. We are starting to have some concerns about her hearing. We know she can hear some but may have reduced hearing due to 4 years of wax build up. Or...maybe she still isn't used to someone directing noise towards her. Whatever the case, we trust that God has it under control. She is super lovey. She likes to snuggle into you, hug your neck, touch you, and kiss you. The kisses are pretty sloppy...it's more of a lick, but still super precious and I'm not about to turn down her kisses...my cheek will dry.  :-) She is really getting fond of her momma! No surprise there! How could she not be? Well, it's been a long day, the girls are already crashed out. I'm now fighting a cold...yeeha! Thank you nasty, dirty, smoggy Lanzhou! So I'm turning in. Enjoy the pics. Getting ready to head to the airport and crashed out in Guangzhou.
