On December 3rd, 2007 our son, Michael, was placed in our arms. He was 14 months old and we were in Changsha, China. Three years and three days later, his sister, Kailey, joined our growing family in Guangzhou, China. Thanks to all of you that follow our journey.

Food and new familes

We ate at the no name place again last night. The night before we went out for Cantonese in a nice restaurant across from Lucys. Ike thinks that it differs from other Chinese food - it does not. He ordered sweet and sour chicken off the menu for us. The chinese do not eat sweet and sour. It's an American thing, but they'll make it. The food was twice the price as no name and was the same stuff in our minds, so back to no name again last night. A fancy restaurant with two young kids is not worth it, besides fancy place had a menu and the pictures where not appetizing. Fancy place has a few dozen fish tanks out front where you can pick your dinner. We had Subway and a fountain drink for lunch - mmm, a taste of home. (There is now a Subway on the island.)

Our "travel group" arrives tonight. There are another 11 families traveling with our agency, that have been in other provinces to get thier kids. We have been fortunate to get to stay in one (warm) place the whole time, much less packing and unpacking than with Michael. Our time with having Ike to ourselves is ending, but we look forward to having other families with us. Shirley will be our guide now too. She has been with the largest group of families all along. Welcome new families.
