March 12

It will be a short entry because we are headed to bed. We made it to Guangzhou at around 7:30 tonight and we are staying at a really nice hotel. Macy did well with the plane ride the first hour and then decided that she would scream the last 40 minutes of the trip. She didn't want me to buckle the seat belt and made it known by throwing a 2-year old tantrum. Needless to say, everyone was standing up trying to figure out what the Americans were doing to this child. After getting many stares and advice on how to calm her down, we finally heard silence when we were leaving the airplane. We knew that she was a strong-willed child from her medical report and orphanage history but this was like nothing that I have ever seen. Then, about 2 minutes after the ordeal, she was laughing and playing with us. Interesting?!? Her personality will fit in perfectly with our other 2 strong-willed boys. The most important thing of all is that they also have 2 strong-willed parents and that beats them all. Ha!!!

We got settled into our room in time to head to McDonald's for supper and put Macy in bed at a decent hour. We have her medical examination in the morning and that should be real interesting. I told Jason we are working so hard on her trusting us as her parents then we take her to get poked and prodded the whole morning. The good thing is she will probably not even remember it. Sorry about no pictures today but we will make up for it tomorrow.
