Well, Guangzhou and the White Swan Hotel is everything that we have read about and more! The hotel is magnificent… we will probably never stay in such nice accommodations again! Guangzhou is also nice—the weather is PERFECT! No jacket, gloves, hats or mittens needed! Both girls did very well on their first flight. AngeLina played the whole time, hopefully this will be a good indication of her temperament for the LONG flights ahead. After we arrived in Guangzhou yesterday, we had the babies Visa pictures taken for the Embassy appointment. We had a late lunch at Lucy’s—it was nice to sit outside and relax. We walked around to a few shops and bought a few souvenirs. AngeLina loves the stroller and is still happy just about all of the time! She is crawling everywhere and pulls up on everything! She can do patty-cake and waves to everyone. We are so amazed by her development and thank God for her health and happiness! She truly is a little angel. On Sunday, we did a bit of sight-seeing in Guangzhou. We went to a Chinese tea house and a few museums. It was great to be outside in the beautiful weather.
Bradley is enjoying the White Swan Hotel- especially the Game Room. Unfortunately the swimming pools are outdoors and it is a bit too cold! He has really been a trooper—shopping and hanging out with the babies! Richard is so excited that AngeLina no longer cries when he walks in the room. She has really taken to her daddy… but still wants her mama, when she is sleepy! She is so sweet!
We are still enjoying reading all of your messages and emails! Thank you for following our journey… we can feel your love and prayers from so far away! Continue to keep us in your prayers for a safe journey home to Michigan!
We love and miss you all—
Sherri, Richard, Brad and AngeLina—the family of FOUR!
