Another Day of Travel

One week down, another week to go. We flew into Guangzhou today, and we'll be here for almost a week before we fly home. It was Branham's first time on an airplane, and judging by the smile on his face, I think he liked it. We met back up with the rest of the families today, and everyone seems to be doing well. There were 8 baby girls, an eleven-year old girl, a thirteen-year old boy, a 4 year-old boy, a 2-year old boy, and of course, Branham. It was nice to see some familiar faces, and there is a McDonald's, KFC, and Pizza Hut right next to the hotel. We just finished eating at KFC for dinner. It wasn't exactly like home, but it was pretty good compared to what we had been eating. We didn't do much sight-seeing in Kunming so we spent a lot of time in the hotel, and the walls were beginning to close in on us. We colored, played cards, watched movies, and the boys played their video games. We were glad to get to another destination and get us that much closer to coming home.

Branham continues to do quite well. He's sitting next to me as I type this and admiring himself in all the photos. I don't think he had seen himself in a photo until we adopted him, and he gets a pretty big kick out of himself. Tomorrow we have a medical exam and some more paperwork to do--fun, fun. After that we get a couple days of shopping and sight-seeing. The weather here is nice and warmer than the last couple of cities. The hotel we're staying in now is quite large. We're on the 34th floor, and there's a restaurant on the 45th floor that rotates. I guess that's where we'll be eating breakfast so we'll get to check that out in the morning. We sure do miss you all, and especially my other babies--Cade and Raegan. We can't wait until they get to meet their new big brother, and I know he's excited to meet them--other than just seeing their faces in pictures. Today, Cole even admitted that he missed Cade and Raegan. Well, I'm not sure if I'll have anything new to report tomorrow, but I'll post again soon. Love ya!!!
