We Are Fine

Unsure of how much of the Chinese news reaches the States, we have been somewhat remiss in posting our status considering recent events. There have been some outbreaks of violence in certain areas and major flooding in southern China. None of this has touched us, thankfully. We heard from one of the shop owners near the White Swan Hotel last night that some flooding was possible where we are, but this morning, all is fine.

Yesterday was a major shopping day. This morning we are headed out to Yuexiu Park which should be loads of fun considering it's about a hundred degrees with two hundred percent humidity today. Oh, and the sun is out. More sweating definitely on the agenda.

Maddie opens up more and more each day. She is definitely the little singer. She is very affectionate, giving us hugs and kisses without being asked, and she continues to eat and sleep well. As for food, honestly, I don't know where she puts it. I am quite sure, given the chance, she could polish off an entire watermelon on her own.

I know you want more pictures. I promise to post photos this afternoon.
