A Whole Day on Shamian Island



John, Joe, David, Hebe and one of the other shop owners!

Eating her lollypop after the doctors appointment













Today started out with a trip to the medical examination office. It was right around the corner so we wlked. it was beautiful today, in the low 70s. We came home and then went to lunch with our friends, John, Diane and Julia. They live in Wisconsin so they are experiencing cold at their home also. At 2:30 we met to do paperwork. Scott got to go shopping and hang out with Dave and Sierra while I did over 2 hours of paperwork!!Ugh!!! And that was the American paperwork!!! Hopefully everything will be in order when Alison goes to the consulate on Wed. for us.





After paperwork we all went out to dinner. We didn't realize that 1 meal OTHER than breakfast was included. We have fun eating as a group. The other members of our group who had children in different provinces met up with us today. It was great to see them again and meet all their children.





After dinner we went to our usual hangout in front of one of the shops. For those of you who have been here its Hebe's shop. She comes out and plays hacky sack with David and John. Sometimes some of the others join in. Scott even did a little tonight. The video clip shows another guy from the shop playing a Chinese flute, the guys playing hacky sak and Sierra singing.

Tomorrow is church in the mrning and the zoo in the afternoon!! I should have some good pictures!!!! Its supposed to be 78 dgrees!!

I LOVED Hebe...I spent a lot of time with her. She is so sweet and so much fun. I know she sees so many people, but please tell her I said hello, she might remember Abby since she was so much older than many of the children.

It is so great to watch how you are settling in as a family. She seems like she is doing so well.

Oh tell Hebe we said hello! Sharla's boys and our boys played in front of her shop many nights while Sharla and I shopped. Give her a hug for me.

Keep those pictures coming. Sierra seems to get cuter in each one. Enjoy the warm weather. It is soooo cold here. Just six more days and you will be back home and we will be closer to seeing that sweet little child of yours. Enjoy your remaining time there. What a wonderful experience for all of you.
Love, Karen B.
