Robyn reminded me that Saturday was two things: First it was the two month anniversary of us meeting our little darling marshmallow and second it was her birthday!
Now, before you go thinking me to be a horrible parent you need to know that I *knew* it was her birthday. We had the parents over, but [...]

And there is no Hep, no HIV, no TB, no other parasites (aside from Giardia - which the wife and I both think we have). We’re going to be waiting a little while on the Giardia test to come back, but I think it’s a sure thing. Since I’ve not been able to eat much [...]

One thing that I didn’t mention earlier was how we just barely managed to avoid spending an extra ten days in Guangzhou. Seems we had some paper work complications. Due to an understanding with our agency we thought we had an amended I-600A form, but we didn’t. This form is required for the US Consulate [...]

Ugh. Aside from only being conscious about twice a day - I’m having some of the most insane dreams. Oh, and I recommend the Flu to anyone looking to lose weight. I haven’t eaten since… oh… Wednesday. Okay, off to bed to go shiver, sweat and shiver some more.

It was a BRUTAL last few days in China for me. I’ve got the Flu and it was a punishing 17 hours in airplanes to get home yesterday. But, I took a bunch of medication this morning - and if that doesn’t help me soon I’m going to bite the bullet and go to the [...]

After a quick change we met Sarah to go to the passport office (we were trying to pickup Ellery’s passport), but [...]

We had a day of rest. And it was good. We walked around the hotel, we prepared a mountain of post cards. We did a lot of little things that we had needed to do for days. Repacking, organizing, playing. You know, important stuff.
The next day we asked Sarah (our local guide) to meet us [...]

I appreciate all the warm comments from everyone, it’s fun to know you are following along. I’m going to try REALLY hard to catch up, but it’s been more difficult than I imagined with Robyn and I splitting turns with cutey and when I’m not doing that I try to spend some time with the [...]

After being declared the officially official parents of Ellery Cute Butt we were informed that we were missing one set of pictures that we needed (an extra set of passport like photos for some paperwork). So, we walked to a small photo place that was conveniently located on the corner of our hotel. Oh, and [...]
