What a trooper!

Brayden definitely had sensory overload today and only had a few cat naps, but he was amazing!! Being carried and in the carrier for most of the day left our little man very happy to be stretched out by himself in his crib for a bit when we arrived at The China Hotel (where US Consulate workers stayed after 9-11 because the White Swan hotel was too close to where they worked). 

My stomach wasn't too happy this morning, but held up for the flight. We caught up with a family we met in Beijing and their new little one is adorable....who am I kidding, all these kids are way cute!!! :) we ventured out with Maddi,  Nora, and Sarah for dinner, but wound up back at the hotel as our intended stop had a huge bottle of Raid sitting out, so we passed. I love how there are a few hotels around, so it's touristy here, but also everyday people living too :) 

The fruit market. We were too hungry to stop, but plan to check it out.

Kind of blurry, but a tiny store.

Tomorrow is applying for Brayden's visa, Buddhist temple tour with shopping (FINALLY!!!!), and group dinner. One day we take the Pearl River tour, which, if you watch The Little Couple, we are pretty sure it's the same one, Wednesday is the Consulate visit where Brayden becomes an American citizen (unfortunately we can't bring in cameras...or even watches!!!), and the best day is Friday when we start the long journey home (19 hours of traveling)!

Please keep up the prayers because we feel the love and support over here and it keeps us going! But we are much happier here in Guangzhou! :)
