Day 7

We had the morning off and Skyped just
about everyone on our list!

At 2:30 those of us with children over the age
of two had to go back to the Medical Clinic
to have our kids' TB test read.
XiaoHua passed with flying colors. No problem.

We shopped for the rest of the day on
Shamian Island and had more success than yesterday.
We met up with two other families and ate
supper at Lucy's. It is a restaurant with American style
food.

This morning XiaoHua got in trouble and really took
it hard. She cried and whimpered for awhile, was
a little melancholy and then fine for the rest
of the day. She has such a sweet nature.

While on Shamian Island we stopped at a park and
let the kids play for awhile. They have the neatest
playgrounds here in China.

When talking on Skype this morning- some asked if
we were ready to come home. My answer is not yet. Since
bringing it up it has crossed my mind more and more.
I know by Wednesday or Thursday I will definitely be
ready.

Pictures are from today. I've tried to load video here
and it just won't work- so you all will have to wait
until I get home to see all the cool video we have.

This has been the most awesome thing ever. Adoption.
I can't wait to do it again.

XiaoHua and AyeMei were friends at their orphanage. They share everything each time they are together.


Walking to the Medical Clinic- there is construction everywhere for the Asian Games coming up.
