33 hours travel Beijing to Shanhai to NYC to WPB. As tired as we were it was so emotional to see our friends at the airport with their signs and "Welcome Home" wishes. Gigi gave Alex a panda bear gift and he hugged and kissed her! Too cute. Thanks to Ana, Ron, Gigi, Ed, Kristen and David for being there to be the first to welcome us home!
We also came home to gifts and lots of food! Totally overwhelming!

June 5 2010-Our 18th Wedding Anniversary!
Words cannot express how blessed we feel to be spending our 18th Wedding Anninversay in Beijing with our Son Alex and seeing such magnificent sights. Tianamen Square, the Forbidden city and the Great Wall. Simply amazing!
June 4 2010 travle to Beijing
Travel day to Beijing! We know what to expect on the airplane ride so we're ready.
We arrived in Beijing and our guide won't get there until tomorrow. We checked in to the Poly Plaza and went walking to the mall thinking we would eat at the food court. Needless to say too much we could not identify and the english translations were-um-questionable. We went back and had dinner at the hotel. We would have loved to have more time here but we are anxious to come home.

June 3 2010 last Day in Guangzhou and the White Swan
Our last day. Alex will miss the boats. another little milestone-he got "near" the pool. He wouldn't get out of the stroller but he didn't cry. It was almost blue skies today, one of only a couple days the entire time so far in China. We'll miss our new friends we made while here. We'll miss the resonding "Hi Alex" when ever we entered a room or Lucy's and they all heard his little whine!
June 2 red couch picture day and Oath Taking at the American Consulate
This was a good as it gets. 
No cameras allowed at the American Consulate. The Oath Taking ceremony was very emotional but we didn't cry.

The park was descibed to us as the park with not very tall trees. Kelly could not take us there so Shannon took us. Alot of Tai Chi going on and a concert in the park too!
June 1 2010 Park at Shamian Island
Alot of the island is under construction but the city playground along the pedestrian walkway was great. This was his second trip and decided he wanted to play on everything.
