2/7/2010-Guangzhou

We finished up yesterday with an hour and 15 minute long session of paperwork, all for the Embassy appointment on Wednesday. We walked around the island to keep us and Charlotte occupied. Then ahhh the Italian restaurant at the end of the boulevard, it’s where we all ended up. We met one family there then one by one all the families started showing up. It was a nice reprieve from the Chinese food. Gee it’s raining here again today. Shocker! It’s put a hold on the trip to the market we were planning. We are all running out of supplies, diapers especially. I also want to be prepared for the extended flight home with some food, formula, crackers, rice whatever will work! Charlotte has taken to some baby food in a jar. Hmmm? I was not expecting that. She ate almost a whole jar of carrot/squash mash this A.M. Cool, something besides a bottle! Wow my back needs an adjustment. We are all counting the days now. We miss home and all our people. We’re thinking of all back home and want to get there as soon as possible.
