We are so happy to be in Guangzhou where the living is easy. Chongqing was pretty incredible but the area we stayed in was not so handicap friendly. We definitely got a system down by the time we left but it is nice to have great air conditioning and an extra room for the girls to play in. We still won't have a great breakfast staying at the Victory but that is ok. We will be visiting Starbucks each morning.
Ok, I have to go get the girls in the bath. Bai Hua is very quiet today. It is so hard to know what is going on with her. We will have Jason ask her a few questions tomorrow when we see him. I know she is bored out of her mind but she will have to get used to being bored at times. I am sure at the orphanage she ALWAYS had something to do or someone to play with. Things are so different now. I feel for her and how she is processing all of this.
BTW, we brought a pair of shoes for her to wear and they would not stay on her feet when she first tried them. The velcro kept coming undone because of the shape of her feet. After a daily massage, her feet are quite a bit more normal in appearance and she is now able to wear these shoes without them coming undone. So, just that little bit has helped already.
Talk to you soon!

Your appointment is at 1:00 the 20th at the school. Bai Hua will probably need to play with someone who speaks her language as often as possible at first. I know Kennedy is doing all she can to help her. Enjoy the trip as much as possible.I'm sure that you are. Leah came over and fixed my laptop and brought me a lovely flower basket. "Hi" to all! Love, Grandma
Looks like you got out of Chongqing just in time. The earthquake looked to be pretty big. Hope you are all well.
