We are in Guangzhou!

Thanks for the prayers.  Chad is feeling better.  He is still weak but is getting better every day.  Wow!  He scared me.  Thank goodness my mom was here with me.  Mom had to step in and help me with Lauren since I was wearing thin.  She loves women so she's bonded with Grammy D as well.

Lauren is a sweetheart!  She is still keeping us on our toes.  She has a infectious laugh.  She loves to be tickled.  She will fall limp as we come near her while laughing hysterically.  We think she is the smartest little girl.  She has started to mimic everything we do.  Thursday she started talking in Chinese which we let the guide hear because we were certain she was telling us something very intelligent.  Our guide told us that it's just baby talk.  LOL! 

Lauren loves to sing.  I will sing to her while trying to get her to sleep and she will break out in song.  This makes it very hard for me to sing without laughing.  She turned on the TV one night and let her watch a station with singing.  She watched it for a while and will sing with them.  We can't wait for her Nana (Chad's mom) to teach her how to play the piano.

We had Lauren's medical exam this morning.  As you may know, Lauren was considered special needs because she was born with a hole in her heart (ASD).  I was anxious to hear how she is doing now.  We sat down and raised her shirt and the doctor kept listening, and listening, and listening....kept moving the stethiscope around.  He told me that the hole in her heart is healed.  We know the Healer!  Praise be to God.

Here are some pictures since I know that is what you want to see:

Our guide, Grant (on steps) and Mr. Wong, our driver.  They were awesome!
