Guangzhou

Well we have made it to the final leg of our Journey here in China. We are now at the White Swan hotel in Guangzhou. The hotel is amazing. It is very beautiful and FULL of Americans adopting little girls from China.


Jade was very busy on our flight over here and I wonder how she will be on the 11 hour long flight. I am hoping she will be as tired as I am from the entire experience and want to sleep, sleep, sleep. Luckily Scott and Nancy and Dana are on our same flight. The more babies the merrier. We have been doing a ton of paper work. We had the visa photos taken and the medical examination done yesterday. Jade passed with flying colors. She is really in good health.

She is adjusting to Brent and me more and more each day. She is getting very playful and fun. She has the greatest smile. Her mouth is full of teeth. We counted 14 either in or being worked on. We have her on Tylenol every 8 hours and it seems to do the trick. When it is wearing off we can tell. She is cranky and biting on her fingers. What an amazing little girl we have. She is beautiful and has the cutest personality. She is getting more comfortable with Brent. She loves to play with him. We are still working on him holding her but that will happen in no time.

Guangzhou is full of beautiful Chinese people. They are all very nice. The shops line the streets and they want us all to come in and look at their store. The shopping is much better here than other places. They really cater to the Americans being cheap. (smile) It has been fun. Today we are doing more paperwork. Around 2:00 we will be going to the Temple of the Six Banyans to have our babies blessed by the Buddhist priest. It is a Chinese custom here and I am so excited about it. They tell us we can take photos. So I will post them after I get them. Bailey, Kyle and Landon. I got you some clothes to be sealed in. It is going to be amazing to see all four of you in your white Chinese tops and dresses. Do you want me to get you a colored outfit as well? We hope you are having a good time. We are only a few days from being back together as a family. I can’t wait. Have a good time and be safe. We love you tons
