Saturday in Guangzhou




Today was literally a walk down memory lane. Everywhere we went reminded us of our journey to adopt Truman two and a half years ago. Same hotel. Same city park. Same medical center for the kids' examinations. Same souvenier shops on Shamian Island. Same guide (Simon). Same Starbucks. But not everything is the same. We met two other American families who are going through the adoption process who are wonderful people, but we miss the families we befriended here back in 2008. (Lisa, I let the kids ride the escalators in the hotel just for fun in honor of Avery.)

Tiana was pretty good today, but when she gets bored--she is a rotten Naughton. It is hard to keep someone who doesn't understand a word you're saying entertained, but we're trying. As an exaspirated Bethany just said after putting the kids to bed a moment ago, "Someone must think we can handle these three kids!"
