We had a great day today! It was a NO paperwork day....a beautiful day at the Yun tai Garden. The weather was gorgeous.....about 80 degrees and the gardens were fabulous. We did not go to the garden on our previous trip, 4 years ago so this was an extra special treat.
Both Megan and Madelyn were great today.Following the garden, we went to a famous noodle restaurant for a group lunch. It was yummy! We got to watch them make the noodles....it was fascinating. This restaurant has been featured on food network and we recognized it right away. All the kids were delighted to see the noodles made right before their eyes.
After returning to the hotel, we took naps and headed out for some walking and shopping. It was a beautiful night in Guangzhou. It is still hard to believe we have only been
here 4 days....and only had Madelyn for 3. Her little personality is really blossoming and she is as cute as she can be. We adore her and cannot wait for you to meet her. It is amazing how quickly family bonding takes place. She knows us, our voices, our smiles and she is happy and content. She even said "da da". (I know it always comes first but I am working on the "ma ma"!!!)We are all staying healthy, some runny nose etc but all in all we are doing great! We are missing home but are enjoying spending this special time together as a family.
Love to you all,
~L
(Editors note: I had nothing to do with the "Da da" part other than reinforcing it every chance I get :) See all the pics from today at picasaweb.google.com/matt.searfoss - Matt)

Thanks for sharing these sweet notes and pictures with us. I can't wait each day to get home and check both sites for the daily updates. Madelyn is so precious. She seems to be smiling in all of her pictures. Tell Megan that she is doing a superb job as big sister. I can't wait to see you all again and to meet Madelyn! Enjoy these special days bonding together with one another. You all are being prayed for daily.
Love ya'll,
Kathy, Marcus, Marshall and Katie Barela
