07:00pm - China
Hi All. Well it's Annierae's 11 month birthday today! This has been the busiest and longest day thus far. We left at 8:30am for the airport, and it took nearly an hour to check in after the 35 minute drive. This was to be Annierae's first flight, and I have to say she did better than expected. She didn't sleep much, but she wasn't really fussy either. She was just absorbing all the new sights, sounds and smells around her. It was only an hour and a half flight, but it was a first for her (and us, man do I need to get to the gym and build some upper body strength)!
But this was just the first part of our day. Once we got to Guangzhou, we were suppose to go to the hotel and get an hour or so to relax and prepare for the medical check up and visa pictures at 3:00pm in the afternoon. Instead, we headed right to get Annierae's visa picture taken, then off to the medical offices for a series of check-ups. She passed with flying colors and relatively unphased by the ordeal (although she was overly tired & hungry). When we finally got to the hotel, it was nearly 5:30pm and everyone was ready to eat & rest. It was a battle to bathe Annierae tonight, but I think it was because she just wanted to sleep. So she is out like a light right now, and may not even wake until morning. We have a free day tomorrow and Kristine said she will likely go shopping - yee-ha - NOT! Oh well, when in China...
Here are a few pics from the events of the day. Only 2 more days till we leave for home - big time YEE-HA!!!

Hello from snowy ol' Michigan! OK, y'all. Enough "tootin around" as Mom would say. It's time to come home. We can't wait any longer to meet that sweetie pie! I laughed out loud at the two pictures of Greg and Annierae mimicking each other's faces. That "Phew...we have had enough fun for today" looks are priceless!! It is amazing that Annierae is never crying, or even looking bewildered in any of the pics. What an angelbaby! Looks like she is going to be a relaxed and laid back little darling. Glad her flight and medical checks went well. That means it must be time to head for home. See you soon and God bless! Hugs and Kisses, Patti and Tom
She is just adorable! We can't wait to meet her! You are a complete family now, and are very blessed to have Annierae in your arms!
So what does it smell like there? :)
Love,
