The days are full and without the things we take for granted everyday, finding formula and diapers can take up a chunk of your day. Guangzhou is a beautiful city, 20 million people and the little neighborhoods have plenty of stores that have been there for hundreds of years, they just don't stock formula for ZiXuan. Last night we ventured out on our assault mission after David spent some time with the boys at the pool and we found an ancient neighborhood, with windy alleyways and the residents selling their wares out in front of their meager homes. It is such a humbling experience to see people live together in communities, many never leave and to do it with patience and grace. It reminds me how thankful I am to belong to our community full of family and friends, and while my neighbors don't sell me chicken feet, live frogs or dish soap I am honored to have a safe place for ZiXuan t return to and begin feel love.
We are getting a late start this morning and will take a trip over to Shamian Island to see the beautiful greenery and visit some of the shops. John David was quite ill last night, it seems to be a sinus infection. With the help of antibiotics, mom and dad loving, a cup of hot tea he woke up starving. Good sign since he spent most of the day in bed.
Thanks to everyone who has offered up baby gear to get us started when we return.
