This morning Aunt Kelc and I took the babies for their medicals. We decided it was best for Daddy to stay with the older two. I didn't really want Corbin and Allie exposed to anything extra lol...it was quite different from any US clinic I've ever seen. Everyone was friendly...the hearing test was a squeeker toy. Really a squeeker toy in front of them. haha...The only trouble we had was with Adaline not really having paperwork for her special arm. After a little help from our sweet guide communicating with the Doctor, we were sent for our TB test and onto STARBUCKS!!! Yeah for Aunt Kelc! Wen and I had some marble pound cake and an ice water. Ice isn't easy to come by in China. It isn't safe to drink water in most places. So, you can't have the ice either. After much stomach YUK yesterday I waited for the guide to tell me what was safe. Starbucks is safe and McDonalds(: OK I only have some ipod blurry pics for now. I will have some this evening when the babies both wake up. BTW they are snuggled in my bed asleep at the same time. BLISS...Ms. Adaline is kinda fearful of sleep time. She figured out today that if she would lay with Mom she could stay out of the crib. After a couple of times of both of them trying the crib, and then back to Mom's bed...they figured it out-if we both lay with Mom she will snuggle and kiss us both. NITE NITE!
p.s. Just nine more days and we start our travels home to hold our William. I can't tell you how much we miss him. Just to have our babies all together. Thank you Jesus for this journey. We know you planned it before we ever dreamed of it.
