Hey, didn't you guys already see the Chen Family Temple? Might think about trying to arrange something different. Or, just stay and enjoy the island... shopping with Anne, perhaps. I can't believe I'm finally seeing an itinerary!!!!

Yippee! Who is your guide?

Sherry said...

Susan, yes we were at the Chen Family Temple in May. But, I want to go back there to buy some more art for the walls. You know - more shopping. And I emailed Ann today to set up a shopping appt.

Deborah, Jane is our guide in Nanjing and Kelly again in GZ.

So neat that you get to have Kelly again in Guangzhou! And you will be doing your swearing in ceremony on Makenna's 2cnd birthday! I remember our ceremony with Cassie and Makenna and how you told me the minute you got home you were turning in paperwork for your next adoption. And now here you are, ready to head back for your second precious baby girl. I could just cry thinking about it. So happy for you:)

Looking forward to daily posts from China. Do you think you'll be able to manage it this time with TWO girls occupying every spare moment?

Sherry said...

Pam -- I'm going to try. It might be during the night when I post. Or during nap time. Cassie still takes 1 long or 2 short naps a day. So I'm hoping to get the girls to take at least one nap a day.
