Day three

Well we are on our third day with Gracie and she has progressed so much. She is showing much more emotion through her smiles and laughter. She loves walking with the assistance of her grandma's hands and being pushed in the stroller by her aunt Nicole. We are staying on a small island where most of the adoptive parents stay, and everywhere you go you see other families that are in the same position as us. They have many shops near the hotel that cater to the tourists with lots of trinkets that we are filling our suitcases with. Doreen just loves to barter with the shops over the price of a purse that costs only $10 to buy at full price. The city that we are in is around 11 million people and I think we see all of them in cars or bikes all around time. We went to the police station today to start the process of her passport and then our guide Simon took us to the local shopping mall, jade and pearl markets. We bought new release movie cd's for $2 and and a few jade stones at a good price. Gracie is having her dinner bottle now and when she is don, we are going out for another family dinner. We plan on going to the Guangzhou zoo tomorrow and hopefully see a few of the panda bears. When we started this blog, we thought it would be for everyone to stay connected with us, but I think it has kept us more connected to everyone. Thank you so much for your post's, it's been wonderful for us!!!!!!
