Parks and Appointments

Even though being away from home was hard, we were able to stay relaxed and got in some good bonding time with our new kids.  I love this picture of Abram and I.  He is so sweet.
 Not far from the hotel was a park.  He kids had a blast and Steve and I had a workout.  We were able to go there a couple of times.





 Just in front of our hotel was a great Thai restaurant. We ate here two or three times and loved the food every time.

 At ever hotel we there was a breakfast buffet,  This was our last one.  The pastries were great and they made eggs to order.
 In Guangzhou the seats were limited so we had to get there early. The first day we were there Steve and I had to stand and eat.  We sat the kids down in some empty chairs that were next to a very stuck up couple.  They were done eating but would not leave until we were done eating.  We just smiled.
 On Tuesday morning, February 14th first thing in the morning we had our American consulate appointment.  It was not as bad as the medical appointment and a little shorter.  The kids did great and we rewarded them by taking them to the park afterwards.


 Our wonderful travel group again.  These people were a gift from God.  There we great and I am sure the friendships that were started there will continue for a lifetime.
