Isabella day 5, 6 and 7
We are now at Shamian Island in Guangzhou. Our flight was long! She cried for about 3 minutes, and then she wiggled the other 2 1/2 hours. Oh yes, and we made the mistake of letting her feed herself rice. Dawn was covered in it! But, the island and White Swan Hotel are Beautiful!! The hotel is very clean and nice! Isabella has a bigger crib and is sleeping all night! The food is delicious! Yesterday we went to a medical clinic for immunizations and a medical check-up for Isabella. She weighs 18.2 pounds. She received four shots. Two in each leg. Mommy and baby both cried. Afterwards, we strolled around the island and did some shopping. Shamain Island is like Savannah in many ways. It's very artsy and has squares with local shops. Today we took Isabella swimming! The pool had a waterfall and was very pretty. A few more highlights...The White Swan Hotel had a special Barbie doll with a blonde Barbie holding a Chinese baby and a very nice letter expressing the hotel's gratitude about adopting Isabella. The hotel had a play room designed by Mattel just for babies and younger children. Isabella loved playing in there. Tonight we are going to Lucy's, an American theme restaurant and then more shopping. Did I mention they have great squeaky shoes? Thank you everyone for all of your prayers and we can't wait for Isabella to meet everyone when we return from China.

Dawn- We have been praying for you all and your safe return home. Most people will say that Isabella is the lucky one to have you guys, and she is but YOU are the lucky one with all the things you'll get to experience with Isabella. We can't wait till you come to see Carson because we want to meet Isabella! My kids are excited too! They completely understand what's happening since they've been there too so it has meant alot to them to be able to keep up with the progress. Much love and well wishes! keep the pictures coming!

Dawn - love the pictures and updates. So glad the adjustment happened quickly and hope that it continues to go smoothly as you return to the States. I agree fully with Katy, Isabella is lucky but you are just as lucky. Love to you all and continuing the prayers. Nicole
I marvel at the intricate planning done to allow for a smooth and calm transition. What a wonderful opportunity for Isabella to get to know you in her comfort zone before entering yours. Can't wait to meet her, hug her, and love her. Take care & we will see you soon.
