A new day in Guangzhou

Yesterday our group flew from Nanchang to Guangzhou, China.  All was well on our flight until the pilot announced "we are now starting our decent into Guangzhou".  Shortly thereafter our girl started crying uncontrollaby and didn't stop until Dave got off the plane with her.  We tried everything we knew to do and finally just laugh about the situation.  She was miserable and so was most of the people setting near us.  It was definitely one of those moments when I used to think, "why don't those parents do something with that child...."  Now I can empathize with anyone traveling with an upset child.  It's no fun.

With that said, today was a new day in Guangzhou, all seemed to be right in Leah's world again. Today we had passport photos made, visited the clinic for a physical examination, filled out paperwork, and enjoyed dinner with the group.

I don't know if I have mentioned this or not, but we have a terrific group of big brothers and sisters traveling with us.  I liked this photo of them killing time while the babies got their photos made.

The group waiting for the medical examinations to begin.

As you can probably tell the girl was not happy during parts of the exam. 

I just love this photo of the girl, and thought I would end the blog with a snapshot of her from dinner this evening.
