Wow, it's been a few crazy days. We are finally all getting better, except Bernard may still have a touch of what we've had. Saturday was Sophie's medical exam, which was by far the most difficult experience. There were so many families with screaming babies, there were lines we had to wait in and Sophie did not like this. She ended up having some fever, but everything else was fine. She's been fussy, but she's still so good. We think she may have an earache (where's Mont Berry). After escaping that experience we walked around Shamian Island and did some sightseeing and shopping. We have met a family that has adopted a 5 year old girl named Ella. Very sweet family from Maine and they have two boys that are 8 and 12. This made Hayden very happy because he now has a buddy to hang out with. We also spent yesterday (Sunday) with this family doing some more shopping and sightseeing and last night we went on a riverboat cruise. We are having lots of fun, but are so ready to be home with our Sophie. I can't wait for her to meet everyone.
She loves crawling around our hotel floor playing with her toys. We all just sit and watch. I'm still amazed that she's ours!! She is so perfect for our family.
Oh Praise God!! Sophie is beautiful and we are so thankful she is now with her precious family that God had planned for her!! James and I can't wait to meet her and also hear all the details of your time in China!! I know you are coming home soon, but if you read this and have time please give my friend and former english class student a call! Her english name is Julia....chinese name is Meng Zhao.
