Medical Exam

This morning we completed Lily’s medical exam for her US entrance visa.  The place was packed as usual.  But we are the only Small World family here right now so Rebecca had us in and out in about 20 minutes.  As you can see, Lily was “thrilled” to be there.  She weighed in at a whopping 16.5 pounds.

Our Nanjing Guide

Our guide in Nanjing was Denise.  She was great and Ellie and Maddie absolutely loved her.  We miss her but are very happy to have moved on to Guangzhou where it is a bit warmer!

Historic Nanjing City Wall

Today we toured the Nanjing City Wall.  This historic wall was completed in the late 1300’s by the first emperor of the Ming dynasty.  The girls had a great time running up and down the steps.  I wasn’t quite as nimble as they were!  The next time we climb a wall in China I am going to make sure that all our girls are capable of walking on their own!  It’s funny how a little peanut like Lily becomes a heavy sack of potatoes when Mom is climbing stairs.
