Hotel on Shaimain Island. This area is a nice little retreat from the city of
Guangzhou. The architecture here is neoclassical(that one's for you, Judy) and
a very nice change from the big cities we've been in. There are quite a few
adoptive families here because the U.S. Consulate is here.
On Monday we went to the medical clinic for the baby's exam. That went well and
to our surprise it didn't take too long. Tomorrow we have her Consulate
Appointment where she officially becomes ours!
Vivi is doing really well and she has come out of her shell completely! She
laughs and plays and lets us know when she doesn't like something! These are
all great signs that she feels comfortable with us. We love her more each day we
get to know her. Tomorrow she will have been with us for a week.
Sue!!!! I know Melissa! She was a friend of mine in college. And I know Brenden's mom well from college too! Crazy small world! Tell them hello from me. my maiden name was Rohrer.

I was so happy to see another posting on this site today, been following your trip daily! It is amazing that Jen knows Melissa, yes..small world indeed. Miss Viv and all the kids look so happy. It is wonderful how well she and you are adjusting to these great family changes. The architecture being neoclassical there is interesting, they certainly were watching the world when they designed those structures! Again, thanks for taking the time for us here too!
