Lulu is one of three similarly aged girls adopted from the same orphanage through our agency. The third family arrived on Monday and we were finally able to meet their daughter today. Apparently these three were the Yangdong (name of the orphanage) Princesses and all good friends. It was very fun to get all three girls together, and even though we live far apart (the other families are from Alabama and North Carolina), I hope we are able to stay in touch. In some ways, these two other girls may be as close to a 'birth family' as we will get. Lulu (in the purple shirt with the bird on the front in the pictures) is the youngest of the three by a few weeks.
In the afternoon we went for a long walk in to the actual city of GuangZhou. It was interesting to see the non-touristy parts of the city and some of the local stores. It was a nice afternoon, but after almost 3 hours of walking with 25 pound Lulu strapped to my front, I almost didn't make it up the two levels of stairs we needed to go up in order to cross back on to the island. We need to get that girl into a stroller ASAP!
