American Visa

We have little Hu's American Visa!  WOOOHOOOO! Now it is time to take this boy home and meet all those sisters and his brother!

After one week in Zhengzhou we all flew south to Guangzhou.  Kyle and I both love Zhengzhou, it is closer to what was our home here and it seems much more familiar.  Guangzhou is way south and is always super humid and hot.  Guangzhou is huge.  It is the 3rd largest city in China with around 13 million people.  On the first day here we decided to do the city tour... which included a tour of a temple and an old house that used to belong to a wealthy family in China.  It is called the Chen house.

 They used to let you climb to the top but now the tower is leaning so it is evidently no longer safe.

This guy was sweating like crazy, but still enjoyed some hot tea.  Hahahaha!

 Chen House

 Westin was unimpressed.  Just hungry.  Not hungry really, just obsessed with food.

 Inside was a store where you could have them paint your name or a saying in the traditional Chinese on a painting.  It is always fun to watch them paint, they are amazing!

I wish I would have taken more pictures.  The house was amazing.  The detail was incredible! 

 This boy eats all the time, loves to be held constantly, and is super happy.

 Until mama leaves.  I had to go to the bathroom and he fell apart.  Sometimes it is easy to forget how fragile the trust bond is right now... and sometimes it is hard to know how he is really doing because so far he seems to be adjusting so well.

 A hug and kisses and everything is all better.

We start the long journey home tomorrow morning at 5am.  Looking forward to holding the rest of my kiddos and sleeping in my own bed!
