We are at the end of another pleasant day in Guangzhou. Andy spent some time doing some things for work this morning while
Moriah practiced walking around the lobby of the hotel. She especially enjoyed dipping her little hand in a very low, shallow fountain. There is also a large cage of birds in the lobby which she liked watching. We spent some time in the Swan Room which is a play room furnished by Mattel. She enjoyed playing with the toys and other kids in there. I enjoyed talking to some other adoptive parents. We went to Starbucks for a little lunch. It was really nice inside. It smelled and felt just like a Starbucks should. After lunch we did some shopping for gifts and
souvenirs. We found some cute clothes for
Moriah and a few other fun things to bring home. We liked the one called "Andy's Shop" When Andy told them that was his name they said, "Oh, you are our boss!" Andy is very good at the bargaining thing. He got some good deals today. This afternoon, Andy went to our
guide's room to do some paperwork and then several families from our group met for some Thai food for dinner. It was a delicious meal.
Moriah hung in there well even though she was tired due to having only had a short stroller nap today. She wasn't quite as cheerful as she has been on the other days. She woke up kind of grumpy this morning and had a hard time off and on all day. It would be nice to know what is going on in her little head, but we'll just keep loving her and trusting the Lord to give us wisdom in how to meet her needs. We
are getting more and more eager to get home with each passing day. We are so ready for this little girl to meet her brothers and sister and grandparents. At the same time, it has been a wonderful gift to see some of China, to learn more about the culture of this vast country and experience it first hand.

Hi Mommy ! I love that pic of Moriah in the stroller wwhen she is sleeping! She is so cute !!!! I can`t wait to meet her on friday !! We are counting down the days!!! Love wiggles ( The big sis!
We are continueing to lift all of you in prayer. I'm sure Moriah has a lot of things to sort out in her mind, but as we've seen first hand...our sovereign God will give her the understanding she needs little by little as she grows. Keep loving on her and we'll keep praying for wisdom.
Praying for Miss Moriah's adjustment - it must be so hard!! I can't wait to hear about the deals & shopping - you'll have to clue us in on where to go!! I can't wait to see this sweetie meet the rest of her family!!
