Shopping Mecca! And a VERYSPECIALDAY!

Guangzhou is like Disneyland for shoppers!!! My Mom has found Heaven!!! haha

We went to the pearl market, and up and down streets of shops. Utterly overwhelming. Great food. Big fun with our new addition-but-believes-life-started-on-Aug. 8th, MeiLi when she was Indoctrinated as official Princess of the World. Oh, with a dual role as Court Jester.

She continues to keep us laughing. She is signing up a storm - shoes (her favorite!), grandma (looks like the sign for spider haha), mommy, daddy, more, lizard.

And... the best news?! TODAY IS HER BIRTHDAY!!! MeiLi is officially TWO!

We will celebrate with a new Chinese outfit (thanks to Grandma) and a birthday cake.

Three days til our family is reunited!!!! Wooooooooooooooooo Hoooooooooooooo!!!!!!

And I can hardly wait to adopt from China again. (Oh, was that my out-loud voice?!)

p.s. thanks to you all who have sent emails and left messages ~ I SO appreciate your encouraging words and prayers!!!!!!! Mwah!!!

Yes Lisa, that was your out loud voice talking about adopting again from China! Hee Hee Hee! It happens to us all. You are going to end up with 10 kids like Eliana keeps telling me we should have!? We would I told her if we had a big enough house and told her she had to pray about that. Hope MeiLi's birthday yesterday was wonderful and you and your Mom have tons of fun shopping!
