Medicals in Guangzhou

We arrived late last night in Guangzhou. We are more than excited to be here. The difference is amazing. First of all it's WARM!!! McDonald's is litteraly next door...that's all I really have to say. There are restaurants and shops in our hotel. Nothing is far from us and the streets are much easier to walk down. What I mean by that is, there aren't as many cars and scooters on the sidewalks. YES, they drive cars and scooters on the sidewalks in China. Very intersting when SEVEN of us are trying to walk to lunch. So, Mom and Mimi Corbin is still alive and so are we. Kelc almost beat him lol...trying to keep him by her side. Of course we left the harness monkey at Pops.
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.
