Thought I would start off the post with a very cute little girl!!!!!Well it was a sad day for Lone Oak. Great season though and I haven't been around excitement like that in a long time for a sports team out of Paducah.
Today we went to Shiaman Island and had our children's picture taken for their visa's to get back into the US. After the pictures, we went to a mall and did a little shopping. We bought some pearls, turquoise, and dvd's. We only got two hours to shop, so we did fast shopping, but will probably go back in the next few days.
Tomorrow we are going back to the island and doing our child's medical exams. After that, we will stay on the island and shop over there. The boys are enjoying the shopping and we are all looking forward to just getting out and shopping ourselves.
We also had a great night last night at bedtime, we figured out the "putting Coee to sleep without her crying" dilemna. We just let her play on our bed until she fell asleep! It worked great and was much better than our other plans the previous nights.
I am including some pictures from yesterday at the airport and from the hotel. It is so much nicer than any of the other places we have stayed.
Here are some more of the pictures:
This is the quantity of luggage that 11 families generate for a trip to China!
This is Trey and Coee sitting together on the flight from Nanchang to Guangzhou.
One of the many hotel gardens and ponds. This one is outside our breakfast restaurant. You can eat outside by the water too. There are many waterfalls around also.
This is quite an impressive stairway in the lobby.
This is the check-in desk at the hotel.
This is Michelle, Coee and the boys outside one of the gardens here
This the hotel playground, Coee like the slide and the boys did a good job sliding with her.
She was proud of herself after she slid!We will post again tomorrow!

You guys are in the home stretch now. I see where Coee is fitting perfectly into the shoes I gave you. If she's anything like Audrey, she'll be a KY girl in no time and love her shoes off! Enjoy the weather, shopping and beauty of Guangzhou. We can't wait to see you all and feel like we already know Coee now. She was a perfect "match" for your family!
God is good!
five more days until we can see that smiling little girl, her wonderful big brothers and her happy parents!! We loved the pictures today of Trey and Dillon with Coee on the slide (our new desktop pic.), the one of Coee and Trey on the plane and of Coee clapping!! There are no pictures lately of Coee not smiling - she is settling in so well. A lot of people here are following the blog as well as our brother-in-law in Chicago. The hotel looks very nice - good that you are able to stay in a nice one for the LAST part of the trip. Did you get your lost luggage???
Ok I updated the video and reposted it. Please let me know if you have problems viewing it. I normally do not post on the web so I hope I am doing it right.

Sorry here is the link
We will be travelling to Nanchang also to pick up our daughter in January. We Just received our referral on December 5. Dr Meals gave me your blog spot. Your daughter is so cute as well as your sons. Have a great time in China.
It is so good to see you all! Trey and Dillon are just beaming with Coee in the slide picture--she'll be chasing them around the yard in no time! Hey--are those poinsettias in the picture with the staircase? I wondered if they decorated for Christmas there...Enjoy the rest of your trip! We miss you all!
