One last post before heading out to a group supper.
Wendy and Betsy were doing a really cute thing last night. I’ve got pictures, here, here, here, here, here, and here.
Enjoy. Tomorrow, I’ll tell the story of how Betsy became Besty.
*Mom*
Wendy is recovering from bad job city in Hong Kong, and although her stomach is still a bit queesy at times, things are looking up. In answer to a question from Holly earlier, no we didn’t travel with phenagarp (sp?), but we definitely will next time. Oddly enough, some chinese remedy stuff that […]
Since we crammed everything into Monday’s schedule, we’ve basically been free to roam the rest of the time. Of course, that sounds a lot more exciting than it really is because Guangzhou isn’t really my idea of a tourist destination. It really doesn’t take long before all of the trinkets start to look […]
Sunday, we got Betsy Ye and more or less holed up in our room to get acquainted. The next morning we were to go back to the orphanage agency to begin the round of notarizations and oath takings. So, we left the hotel Monday morning at 7:40 with 14 slightly delirious families and […]
I just wanted to thank everyone for the comments on the site so far. It really means a lot to know how many people are watching out for us. I promise to try and answer some of the questions being asked if not while still here then when we all get back to […]
is sleeping in our room right this very minute
I’ve left Wendy and Betsy taking a nap after a very long and trying day to sneak down here (website) and bring everyone up to date. Sorry for not posting yesterday, but it was a bit hectic to say the least.
We were […]
to go and get Betsy Ye!
Wendy and I sat in amongst about 12 families with adopted daughters during breakfast this morning (she met them all … surprised?). The hotel is really well set up for this sort of thing with basically every table in the non-smoking section having a high chair pulled […]
BTW, here’s our hotel. It has a *huge* jade ship in the lobby just like the peabody does along with a giant Easter bunny display. Easter is oddly enough, quite popular here. The stewardess on the train over gave out little chocolate easter eggs and wished us happy easter. Wendy […]
Is crazy pretty … we’ll upload some pictures either tonight or tomorrow morning to proove it. It’s very colonial in feel with a really nice park running the length of it. This area appears to be something like the upper East side of Manhattan. As for the rest of the city, well […]
We’ve just checked into the white swan hotel here in Guangzhou (formerly Canton), and they’ve got a great little coffee house just two blocks from the hotel with free internet access! Well, free if you’re a customer, which shouldn’t be a problem for Wendy and I :-).
You’ll have to forgive the weird spelling and […]
