Thanks so much for visiting us during our journey,
Matt, Andrea and Aerin!
Another beautiful day in Hefei! Miss Aerin is starting to show us more of her personality. Her breathing and cough is much better and we were able to go to the park. We were quite an attraction! At every turn we had onlookers and curious Chinese citizens. We've all been treated very well.

Aerin isn't very fond of her stroller, so mom and dad are experimenting with the carriers, while our backs are trying to hold out.

After lunch, laundry, and a nice nap, we took another bus outing to a wonderful Chinese Garden. While waiting for the bus, Miss Aerin had "Good News!" (This is the current term for poopie.) Alot of "Good News!" for one small diaper. Well, since the bus was coming, Mom decided to use the lobby washroom to clean up all the "Good News!". Yet another new mom mistake. Something about the public changing table really upset her, because, for the next 15 minutes everyone in the lobby waiting on us, everyone in the hotel restaurant, the hotel staff, and last but not least, everyone on the bus got to experience the capacity of Aerin's lungs. We knew it was coming. The first melt down. But, we survived, and by evening, she was really hamming it up. Grinning, giggling, and finally sleepy, we have all been able to settle in for the evening. I think we all benefited by surviving the days crisis. (Except maybe for the bus people.)
Happy on moms shoulder
