I want to start by saying thank you to all the prayer warriors that have been praying for our safety!  I know it's because of those petitions that God is protecting us!  We flew to Guangzhou yesterday.  We landed about 6:30 p.m. China time.  We had a little confusion on who was picking us up at the airport so Jimmy drilled the escort to make sure we weren't being abducted! LOL Wouldn't have been a problem if he'd had a sign with our name on it but he held a paper that sail HOLD.  Evidently, this was their way of spelling Holt (our agency).  NEVER in my life have I ever rode in a vehicle so fast to the airport.  I'm not sure how fast we were going, but we were passing people like they were sitting still.  AubriAnna loved the ride tho!  Everytime we hit a bump she would die laughing!

She did well on her very first flight.  It was 2 hours long.  She was want me then turn right around & want her baba.  She slept the last 30 minutes of the flight.  It messed her sleep schedule completely up.  We were shedding coats by the time we got off the plane.  We had been in hi 40's & lo 50's till now.  Here in Guangzhou its low 70's.  Palm trees & very nice.  Very populated & busy also.  14 million people in this city.  It's 3rd largest city in China.  Our hotel is super swanky & huge.  It has a mall in it for pete's sake!  AND a Starbucks!!! Oh yeah!

Today, Saturday for us, we went to the medical clinic.  She had to be checked with ear, nose & throat.  Then we moved to height & weight.  She is 21 lbs & 30 inches long.  Lastly, we had to go through the medical & surgery part.  That was not so much fun.  Had to take her shoes, socks, pants & diaper off.  Well, She just undone one side of her diaper because she was throwing one more fit!  It was a packed place.  They close at 12 p.m. on Saturdays & there were about 60 families so you can imagine!  We finally came back to hotel & she ate & took a good nap.

As I type this, she is on the bed with her baba playing & laughing. Such a silly baby girl. I think we're about to go explore the hotel/mall! They even have a big play ground on the 4th floor! We have another big day tomorrow. Not much longer & we'll be heading home! Thank the good Lord!!
