Guangzhou

Hello Everyone! So sorry its been awhile since we were able to last blog. We are in Guangzhou now and as I type I'm watching a thunderstorm roll in. Weather is still hot but manageable here due to the breeze from the water surrounding this little island. The pace is slower than Beijing and Changsha. Not as many bicycles or scooters. The past few days have been hard. Captains back went out from a combination of the hard Changsha bed, holding our little squirmy girl and sitting while doing paperwork. He has gone twice to the local Changsha hospital, a experience that he doesn't want to repeat. His sciatica is being managed by lots of pain meds and we hope to get home without it getting worse.

Tomorrow K gets her medical exam and then its just exploring this island a bit more. Sorry we can't post pictures yet. Still having internet troubles.

K is doing well, eats alot... really alot and has become velcro baby to me. Trying to go to the bathroom by myself is an experience. Our room here at the Victory Annex has a long curved hall within it. We hold crawling races but K cheats by standing up and walking midway. Yes, she is up and cruising as much as possible.

Ths storm now is building up so I will try to post later. Don't want to lose this post if power goes out.
