Hello again from China!

Well today it is Sunday afternoon, but all the days are starting to just feel the same. It is so hard to believe that we will be leaving Guangzhou on Wednesday already. Yesterday we had another good day. Ava is just a doll and is the most pleasant little girl. We still can not get over how tiny she is. Dawn gave me an outfit that did not fir Lucera. It was a 6-9 month and it fit Ava! She has the littlest bottom and it is hard for 2 piece things to stay up on her. Since she and the other girls are from Chongqing, they are know as "spicy girls". When we are stopped on the street by people, they ask where she is from. When we tell them they say, "ah, not too spicy!" She is very smiley and waves "bye bye" to people. She will go to some of the CnHinese locals that want to hold her, but always wants me right back. I do not have a problem with the Chinese holding her. They cleary love the children of this country and since she always wants us right back, it is ok.
We went to dinner with Wendy, Nancy, Jen and Mary last night. Matt ans Dawn are a little under the weather, but seem to be doing a little better. After dinner, Eric, Wendy Nacy and I shopped till we dropped. It was great!! Your money goes sooo far here. After that, Eric went tothe room to drop off our purchases and The girls all walked around Guangzhou in the evening. We also walked by the Pearl River. It is so beautiful at night with all the lights on the buildings and the boats.
Ava had a restless night last night. She stayed in her rib, but seemed to have a hard time getting comfy. Hopefull tonight will be better. This morning we had a delicious breakfast at eh buffet, and then shopped and walked around with Nancy and Wendy and the girls. Ava fell asleep in the stroller which was great!! We got some more great bargains. We had lunch back at the room, went for a swim and now Ava is napping. So I escaped for little bit! Tonight we are having dinner with Matt and Dawn and then will walk by the river again. Tonight our kids are calling the room to talk to us!!! We can not wait!!
Tomorrow we are going on a tour to a temple that was built in the 1450's. We are very excited to see that. So I will post more tomorrow about our excursion out. We are also going to do the famour "Red Couch" photo with the girls and then a group photo too. I hope that Wendy will be able to post on her site. That is all for now!
