We're in Guangzhou!

We made it to Guangzhou and have met up with the other families. It's been great catching up with everyone and seeing all of the new children. We got in later than I thought last night and so when the team brought Sarae her birthday cake, she and I were already asleep, so we'll celebrate tonight instead. This is the last day of the Chinese New Year and it is also considered the Chinese Valentine's Day. For those of you that know Heidi, you can imagine how thrilled she was to be able to celebrate Valentine's Day twice this year! : ) We went to the Buddhist temple where many of the local people went. There was a lot of incense burning and the monks blessed all of the babies. It was a neat ceremony. We were going to go shopping afterwards, but Sarae fell asleep so we came back to the hotel instead. We plan on shopping tomorrow after the medical exams. Not sure if I will be able to post pictures tonight, but I will try. If not, I will definitely post the ones from this morning tomorrow.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend. We miss you all!
