Outdoor herbal market
This man is picking out the best scorpions with chopsticks. Just wonder what he is going to do with those scropions........... yikes
Dried frog... we think! Some sort of herbal medicine
Dried Seahorse anyone?
Chicken Man on the street?????????? not sure what he does?????
Public walking area and shopping, MASSES of people
Mama and Mellissa buying pearls..... the dads are wondering just how much money we are spending! After you buy the pearls, the ladies string them up for you.
Pearls anyone?????
A glimpse at the parks in china, everyone is exercising! No wonder these people are so skinny and live so long. We need parks like this at home!
Mama and our guide Lily filling out mounds of paperwork so we can bring home Tai!!!!!!!!!
Kim - this one is for you! Don't worry, we already have her in the bag!
Beautiful Chinese bride. We see them everywhere on Shamian Island. I am in awe of all of them, so beautiful!
This adorable school girl was very eager to pose with her book for us! So studiuos! She can teach the american childen a lesson or two we think.
A view from our hotel
Chinese Elementary School.... A step up from Parmalee!!!! The children in China go to school until atleast 5:30 pm. We have also seen some of them in the evenings after dinner. No wonder they are all so smart here. I think they are onto something!
The Medical Exam building
Look how much Tai loves the doctor
Sure is a lot of writing under the heart section, for having NO MURMUR! ha ha
Supposedly......... NO Murmur......... we will soon see........
Hearing and Eye exam......if he looks at the tamborine, then apparantly he can hear! Very scientific!
Wen helping Tai put on his shoes. Wen is the very helpful.......always cleaning and organizing. Brian and Mellissa hotel room is immaculate......... ours not so much!
Two friends dancing at the buffet.......... Don't you just love those two smiles! They have both brought so much joy to us!
Tai even likes Italian noodles.........oops we forgot the bib. Oh well, we are learning!
Tai had sooooooooooooo much fun at the park! He is going to love his "very own" playset....
Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! What a big boy, all by himself!
Finally, mama found a way to get whole milk down him! A banana and milk smoothie! I finally learned after this to mix yogart with whole milk........ and he will drink it! Whooo Hoooo
Just too cute
Hello!!! One of Tai's favorite words. He also loves the telephone! Actually anything that remotely looks like a phone goes to his ear, such as the calcutlator, music box, remote control. But not the land line phone....... he doesn't know what to do with that! So funny!
Pouty face.... when we tell Tai "boo" (no) or "teeng" (stop) when he does something like throw food or toys on the floor...... he does not throw a fit........ he pouts... it is too cute!
Tai's MOST FAVORITE thing to do..........look at the fishies! We do this every morning after breakfast... think we need a fish tank at home. Might distract from the GO!

Hi Guys, glad to see you are having fun in Guangzhou and shopping, still have lots of gifts to buy ourselves and I of course plan to do it all in a mad dash in Guangzhou. Tough to shop when I have 4 yr old dragging me to the toy section. Tai is adorable, hopefully he likes US doctors more LOL! -Alison and Bo (Ryan already home in US)
Good morning! It looks like you are all having a great time. He is so sweet. I love the pic of him looking into the water. See you soon!!!

Gotta love those funky markets in China! I still haven't figured out what they do with some of those weird items...not sure that I want to know either! I LOVE the picture of Tai looking over the railing at the fish! That fish pond in the WS provides hour of entertainment for the little ones...almost makes it worth the price they charge! Danny says to tell you guys there is a great place down by the river that sells the coldest beer in China (if they are still in business). He doesn't remember the name but remembers that they had red umbrellas and it was a short walk from the WS. If you get a chance go on the dinner cruise. I can't say much about the food but the scenery was spectacular! We are all really enjoying your website and following along on your journey! BTW...we had the photos printed that you took of Bailey and we are loving having new pics of our little dumpling (Brea's new name for her)! Thanks a million!!!

So many thoughts reading this post...
Wonder if this is the Indigo Girls' Chicken Man??? Chicken Man hold my haaand!!
YOU, my very dear sister, were an exquisitely beautiful bride. Those Chinese ladies have got nothing on you!Ask Jason, I'm sure hg'll more than agree.
Love, love, love the pic of the two of you at the park (Tai holding on to a urple handle of some sort). Looking for a definition of happiness? Look no further!
Sliding on his own on that HUGE slide before 2? Major conquest. Congratulations, you have a brave boy!
Check out that little booty as he leans over the rail looking at the fish!
July's less than 4 months away!
