Today was a travel day and we didn't do much. We went back to the electronics store for a little while. We picked up few movies and then was off to Foshan. This is a very large city. Our guide said this was the second largest city in southern China. We are staying in a 5 star Hotel and boy is it nice. We took the girls to the pool and this one was much better then at the other Hotel. Addison really loves the pool. She just kicks and kicks her legs with her floaty on. Swimming will be so good to strengthen her legs..Our guide took us out to show us around the city a little bit because we are the only ones here. Oh my, I never seen so many people. I thought I was going to lose my mind. There were bikes, motorbikes , people, cars and anything else that had wheels that turn. Road, sidewalk it made no difference what they drove on. We sure got the stares from people. In Guangzhou, they are use to Americans but, I don't think they are in Foshan. We just have 3 days here so we will live. Robin walked and got us Pizza Hut for supper and it was really good. It had big hunks of meat on it and as we were eating it we told ourselves it was sausage.We are very excited about going to the orphanage tomorrow. Addison has treats made up to take to her favorite friends. We are also going to find out what the orphanage needs then our guide is going to take us to get it for them. Addison was taking a nap this afternoon and I told Ali that we were going to the orphanage tomorrow where Addison lived and she said "I don't want to take sister back to the orphanage." Addison has been calling me MaMa. I do think she is a happy girl and Daddy is so good with both of them. We have had a big day and are all ready for bed. Hope to have some good pictures tomorrow.

The girls look so happy together. I hope Addison doesn't have a set back when she goes back to the orphanage. Glad that the hotel is a good place. Sausage is good. Just don't get any visuals of any thing but that. Can't wait to see you guys and both the girls.
Love ya,
Sharon
All right Angel, sorry we live out in the boonies. I just get so frustrated because I'm used to being on the internet at work and mine is just soooo slow.
Mom & I are wondering about the peace signs that Addison keeps holding up. Does it actually mean peace or something else?
I'm sure you and Robin don't look a bit out of place (him being so tall & your blonde hair). I'm sure you fit right in.
I'm sure all Pizza Huts are the same - sausage comes from pigs. Do they have pigs over there? I'M SURE THEY DO.
Is the weather hot over there? We have really cooled down a lot here.
Remember when you get back to have your jackets handy.
I'm sure you're counting the days until you get back. Not too much longer. Give the girls a hug from us.
Love
Mom & Cheryl
Hey guys! Hope you have had a good day. I can't believe the weekend is almost over. As fast as the weekend has gone for us I'm sure you are more than ready to come home.
Was plain cheese pizza an option??? :)
I made one discovery on these pics. The girls are wearing different clothes. They are both very beautiful.

I can vividly picture Ali's face saying "I don't want to take sister back....", and it makes me laugh!!!!!!! What a trip she is!!
I'm with Jess on the pizza, why not plain cheese considering the country you are in???
Enjoy the rest of your days in Foshan. Hope your visit with the orphanage goes well.
The girls are already looking like two peas in a pod (except they are obviously not from the same pod)!!!
Brady is taking the blog site address to school and explain what is going on so you may have more visiters!
Our football and soccer games went well this weekend except that there was a mix up on the time of Garrett's game and we sort of missed all but the last 2 minutes of it, so needless to say I do not win the mother of the year award. He was upset and crying and I felt like I shouldn't even be in contention for mother of the year...I had to hold back the tears too. Poor guy, I'm sure when he is grown he will reflect on this incident and claim "middle child syndrome". Oh well, I guess Jay and I aren't perfect after all (LOL).
Anyway, glad to hear you made it back to electronics store. Boys are excieted about movies.
Take care, it's midnight so I'm going to finish my studying and go to bed and hope sissy sleeps rest of night (she has been having rough nights again, I think more teeth)
Love you guys, keep Addison swimming it should be therapeutic for her, love, Angel
