Lanhua had her physical exam and TB test this morning. She tolerated the process quite nicely and met one of her fellow sisters from the orphanage (age 13) while we were at the clinic. It was good for us to talk to another family from the US and even better when we discovered that the family lives in Salt Lake City. Of course, we exchanged telephone numbers and assured Lanhua that we’ll visit them when we get back to the US (preferably during the peak winter months). Later in the day, Lanhua’s mood changed and we experienced what we assume must be classic 9 year-old stubbornness and bad mood. Enough said. The weather in Guangzhou is warming-up and tomorrow we’ll head to White Mountain for sightseeing. Photos include the water beetles from the restaurant we ate at last night, a photo at the temple with our guide Ann (taken by Lanhua) and Lanhua and her friend from the orphanage at the clinic this morning. ps to Emilie: She loves her pink sweatshirt! |

I'm so happy that the Wedel family has a blog during this exciting time. I started tearing up when I saw LanHua in the pink Paul Frank sweatshirt...and her sweet pink Converse! I love that she likes pink...we're going to get a long juuust fine! Can't wait to see you all when you get back. This is an exciting time. Continue to have fun!
