Another Nice Day!

Good morning everyone.  We had yet another nice relaxing day here.  The temperature was cool with a nice breeze.  Feels real good.  Must be the cold from coming in.  Now we will be about 80 during the day here for the remainder of our time.  We just relaxed today. Did some shopping.  Sat by the riverfront at the hotel.  No complaints here.  Lily-an is doing great.  She was calm all day.  Took an afternoon nap and she was good to go.  She is tired and is getting ready for bed.  Has only been getting up for a brief time during the night now.  She is feeling more and more secure.  She knows she will be fed and it will be enough to fill her up.  She loves ice cream.  Yeah, they have ice cream here and she will insist that she gets it if we get a cone or an apple pie with ice cream.  And don't try to short her.  She knows when the plate is empty.  There isn't any fooling her.  She is getting stronger and stronger everyday.  She was able to hold her head up today and is doing great.  We are doing some simple exersises with her and some strength training.  She likes it and smiles and laughs at it.  We try to make it fun.  She has been our ball of joy. She likes getting a bath before bed.  Tonight she was getting one and all of sudden there was this rumble like thunder and the bubbles started to appear.  It was quite funny and smelly.  It seems to soothe and relax her to give her a bath before bed.  Tomorrow we are going to go to the Pearl Market.  They sell real pearls, gems, silver and other precious stones.  They are very inexpensive.  We thought we would go.  Get a chance to get out for a few hours and sight see.  Guengzhou is about 12.5 million people.  It doesn't seem like it where we are at.  Kind of secluded and quiet.  It is a nice way to end a long trip.  We will be finishing up the last 2 appointments we have  over the next few days with the US Consulate.  So our schedule is really light and it gives us time to enjoy here.  The hotel is nice and quiet on our floor.  There are many adoptive families here so it is kind of neat seeing all of them.  We will get to take our picture on the infamous red couch.  That will be all the babies in our group.  Should be interesting.  It is kind of a traditional thing they do.  I had best close.  My battery is about dead on the laptop so take care everyone and talk to you soon.
