Well 2 months home, almost three with Emma and things are pretty much standard family things. She has fit in remarkably well in the family and at school. Went on a field trip with her school class last week and well there are two boys who follow her around like puppy dogs and it was quite funny. They would even come over to me and raise their eyebrows and look over at her. I just shook my head. Things I will worry about in another 3 years or so, but for now just funny.
Had alot of emails from folks traveling soon to China asking about Guangzhou. Well we loved it, but alot of questions have been about Shamain Island and why I seem to not like it. I have even had some folks get nasty with me via email about how great it is. You know I do have my own opinion and to me the Island while ok is not any place we would choose to stay even if it was not under construction as is now. It really strikes me as a nife safe haven for westerners(which is what it's original intention was.) Our family really enjoyed where we stayed and prefer that kind of experience, to each his own really.
Anyway things are good at home. Emma had her first trip to Deanna's mothers and father and loved the mountains but was a little in awe about it all. She has fallen in love with her Papa, especially since he gave her a dollar to sit in his lap. But after that she was all about him and really was before. He is the only person she will literally hang on, kiss their cheek and follow everywhere. It tickles him to death as well. I do have pics from the trip and will get some up as I get a chance.
