Today we went to 2 different parks in the city, one was the Guangzhou Park which included a Memorial Hall for the Dr. Sun Yat-sen, the first Premier of China after the overthrow of the last Emperor of the Qing Dynasty. I just had to ask Jay who he was because I was paying more attention to Mary Kate than the museum. We went to a large outdoor mall this evening that had hundreds of stores, thousands of people and most importantly, McDonalds. I am not a big fan of McDonalds at home, but I have eaten more of it in the last ten days than I have eaten in the last ten years! It is certainly comfort food to us.
Mary Kate has become fond of her daddy and thinks that he is a great playmate. She loves to carry his shoes around the hotel room, wear his Yankees hat and play peek-a-boo with him. She says mama often, but I think she quietly wishes for a Chinese mommy as she reaches out to nearly all of the Chinese women to pick her up and hold her. She loves to play, laugh and smile and is doing better than we expected. We can't wait to bring her home to meet her new family and friends. Miss you!
Welcome Mary Kate

MARNI, I BELIEVE MARY KATE HAS BEEN QUIETLY WAITING JUST FOR YOU....! MOPSY
I've been checking out all your picture galleries as well as following your blog. The pics of Mary Kate playing peek-a-boo were great! Mary Kate seems to be quite the happy baby. I could tell that you also found the shopping area by the hotel we stayed in (Holiday Inn Shifu). Not only can you find McDonalds there, but there is also a Pappa Johns Pizza. (Much better than McDonalds, IMO)
Take Care,
