Sept.20 update

Good morning from Kunming! As I type this, you all are getting ready for bed! Sorry we didn't post yesterday. Busy day, and then we crash at night. We will have to post pics from Guangzhou as we have to use the business center's computer and took us 2 hrs. to download the pics we did get on the site. I promise we'll get them up asap!
Anyway, yesterday we visited the orphanage and it was hard to fight back tears. Most of the children that are there are 0-1 yrs. or special needs. Most orphans from Kunming are in foster families. We first visted with a group of children around 6-7 yrs.old. They were watching Tom and Jerry cartooons. They happily greeted us. They were so sweet! The next group of children
we saw had severe needs and that was quite heartbreaking. They had people working with them doing different skills. The last room we visited was the baby room. We all had an opportunity to hold and cuddle the beautiful babies. Logan fell in love with a baby boy who had a cleft like Meigan. He didn't want Logan to put him down. Meigan just played in the room and didn't seem to care she was back. I have to say the nannies there are wonderful and really care for those children. They seemed to really enjoy caring for them which makes me feel better about Meigan's care there for her first year. If we could've taken them all, we would've! We were not allowed to take pics inside the orphanage unfortunately. It definately was a visit we will never forget.
Meigan is adjusting well. She still only wants Scott or my dad. Mom and I will do in a pinch. Her self help skills are incredible. She uses a fork better that Logan and Jennifer and cuts her food up in tiny pieces! She washes herself in the bath and reminds me of an otter when she washes her own hair! Each day, she surprises us! She is such a peanut, too! Probably barely weighs 20 lbs. and short as an American 1 yr. old. She looks healthy though and that's what matters. She eats like a horse and will try anything! Last night she was eating watermelon like there was no tomorrow! At bedtime, after she brushing her own teeth, she got mad at me for taking her tooth brush away. I put her in her crib and she is fine. She puts herself to sleep. It's so cute to hear her sing. We don't understand because it's in Chinese baby talk, but very sweet. She is really a little blessing!
Logan, Scott and Jenn are bowling this morning. We are to visit Green Lake Park this afternoon. Jenn was running a fever last night, but seems better today. Hope it stays that way!
Thank you all for your kind messages and for following our journey. I miss you all and my favorite restaurants! I think I've lost quite a bit a weight. My pants are getting very loose. That's ok. I can gain it back with a quart of Edy's ice cream when I get home!
Will post again soon!
