Saturday, May 18- Arriving in Guangzhou

We were picked up around 7:30 a,m. to head to the airport. When arriving at the airport boys actually walked a good ways. Zachary and I have been having to carry them everywhere.

It was not Caleb's day. He was unhappy for a good part of it. He screamed for half of the plane ride. It was 2 hours. Caleb is the tough one. He will fight to the end.

Jacob now appears to be the more calm and laid back one. He looks at you so sweet and innocent and your heart just melts.

Elvin greeted us at the airport. So glad to be in Guangzhou. As we exited the airport we were greeted by the heat. It seems to bother Zachary and I the most.

After checking in we head to McDonalds for our mid day meal. Once again real food never tasted so good. We looked around a little but Zachary and I were at a point where our backs couldn't take much more carrying of the boys. We stopped at 7 Eleven for waters and headed back to the hotel.

I let Zachary rest for about an hour and we told him we had to find strollers for tomorrow. I couldn't do it anymore. The hotel was out of the ones you can borrow.

Elvin told us about a new store Eon that just opened. So Debi, Zachary and I made the 7 minute walk. We were not coming back without strollers. It is a huge store that was very crowded, we found expensive but well worth it strollers and looked around a bit.

Zachary said it was getting dark and we needed to head back. We will go again soon to get some groceries.

We stopped at the bakery on the way back to get bread. I told Zachary he could pick out anything he wanted because he has been such a big help. He chose cheesecake. Back to the room for grits, peanut butter sandwiched, and cheesecake.

The biggest news of the day was the boys slept for the first time in the crib. It wasn't easy but they are now sound asleep. We gave them a choice of the bed or crib. The floor is just s dirty here and there isn't much floor space. Hopefully next time it will be easier.

Love the photo of my dynamic duo!
