Well, the best laid plans often go awry. As much as I wanted to blog a quick synopsis of each day in China, it was challenging. First was the difficulty I had getting onto most websites due to strict internet use policies in China (particularly Google and anything medically related). Then, during the final week we were there, our family members each proceeded to become sick so that by the time we left, we were just able to drag ourselves onto the airplane to make it back home.
Overall, we really enjoyed the last city, Guangzhou, it's more moderate temps, lack of motorcycles and many of the different foods we tried (steamed dumplings filled with lotus seed puree - yum!).
Since returning, we have all returned to health (Haze is on his last day of antibiotics for a double ear infection) and we are slowly getting back into a new normal. I'll say that having an adorable little boy toddling and falling around our house while trying to prepare three meals a day is challenging. Matt has been the nighttime champion of helping Haze get on a regular sleep schedule. They are still working that out. And Mira has been a patient and loving big sister - after 7 years of serious amounts of attention for herself, I'd say she's doing really well with this 'sharing' thing.
So for now, I will leave you with the slideshow from our big adventure....just click on the link below!
