Let's see if those pictures work today...

Taylor and Teresa at the mall play area having a blast! I was probably the only person that washed their feet and hands with purell' after they finished playing and it was obvious that we were probably one of the very few Americans to "hang out" at the mall.
Someone performing or exercising along the waterpark in the morning. It was beautiful and serene and hard to imagine 6 lanes of traffic off to the left of the picture with a cargo shipping river off to the right - and what is that smell???
We tried to get Teresa to talk on the phone to Nana and Pa but her voice is so quiet (except when she yells) that no one can hear her. She had a rough afternoon.

Thursday, 6:00 am - Theresa slept in the bed last night! She didn't see any strollers when she came back from dinner so was perfectly happy to crawl onto my lap and snuggle in. When she was almost asleep I slide her into bed and she looked a me a few times to make sure I was still there and drifted peacefully off into sleep - she's a sound sleeper and straight though the night, unlike our first little tumbleweed who was awak at 5:00 this morning (getting better!)
and is now playing her leapster while Mommy and Daddy get things organized for Andy to go to Hengshan to visit the orphanage, purchase the donations and hopefully have the chance to visit or at least drive by the finding site and the foster family. Taylor, Teresa and I will be spending the morning at a local park and then relax this afternoon taking baths or should I say playing in the pool in our bathroom (NICE bathrooms by the way, separate glassed in shower with "rain" from the ceiling, separate hand held shower if you need to wash the girls down and separate tub, no too wide but plenty deep.
We're off to breakfast and start our day.
It feels like both Taylor and I have our colds under control so hopefully we're on the way to recovery and won't get any worse!
Enjoy!

Awww, what a great smile and such a difference from the somber look in her referral photos.

We have loved following your trip since our Gotcha Day will be Nov 19th in Guangzhou for our Suixi girl, who is 3 1/2. Take notes (I want Sharon's notes, not Andy's!) for us on where to eat in Guangzhou with two young children!
