Arrival in Guangzhou

We arrived in Guangzhou yesterday. The plane ride from Shenyang to Guangzhou took about 4 hours. The plane was packed. Thankfully, Joshua did very well on the flight. We gave him some Benadryl and Tylenol before the flight for fear that the pressure might hurt his ears...and we were hopting the Benadryl might knock him out for at least half the flight. Good news and bad news. Good news is that he had no ear pain despite the regular sinus and ear infections he has had. Bad news is that the Benadryl kind of got him wound up. We won't be giving him any more of it on the flight home! He did finally sleep about the last hour of our flight.

It has been a delight to be reunited with the families we started out with in Beijing and meet the children they are adopting. There are a lot of kids headed to some sweet families and a future that is drastically different than what they have experienced so far. Hearing some of their stories has been both fun and heart-breaking. I think we have made some life-long friends. We have even talked some about arranged marriages :) There are a few cute little girls that Joshua might like someday!

This is Macy Li. We've got her number, and we plan to call it in about 18 years!!!!
