I CAN POST BY MYSELF!!!!

Oh my goodness! It's sooo nice to be able to get on here and do what I need to do! Guangzhou is THE BOMB!!! Thank you, Lana for taking the time and being willing to post for me! I really apprecite it!!!!!Love you!!!
Well, we made it to Guangzhou last night about 9:30 but by the time we got our luggage, met our guide, walked a ways, went up an elevator to the second floor, walked down a walkway over street, went down and elevator to the 1st floor, loaded the bus and rode the 40 min to the hotel, we didn't get into our rooms til 11:00!!! We "ate" on the plane and were still hungry and we remembered that a MCDONALDS was right next door to this hotel (the same on we stayed in with Olivia) so we went and ate at McD's and then came back to the hotel and crashed! THAT was about 12;15 so the girls (and us) were exhausted!!!We had Zoey's Dr. appt this am and she weighs 27.2 pounds!! Told you she was a big girl! Forget to get length but the lady had to move the bar she had it at to longer, so she's pretty long too! We will find out for sure how long Monday at the CA!!!

Mrs. Betty and Olivia are having belly issues. Mr. Willie is doing alot better with the sinuses! Zoey also had belly probs for about 3 days..but Anthony and I have been well!! We are all doing good, really! Finally at a hotel with AIR!! We have burned up until yesterday and for those of you who know the Langley's..we LOVE our cold air!!! Esp at night! It's more western here so they have normal hair dryers and the bathroom...OH THE BATHROOM!! Has one of those shower/tub combo's and they have a sprayer on the top of the ceiling so it's like it's raining warm water when you take a shower! AMAZING!!! So, we feel so much better being here!!

I have to tell ya that Zoey did exactly like Olivia did when we got to GZ! Until we got here, she went to daddy a few times and Nana a couple but nobody else. She cried alot and just wasn't comfortable it seemed. She LOVES me and stays RIGHT by me and I can't leave her sight but if I'm not there, it's BAD!!! Olivia did the opposite and wouldn't let EITHER of us put her down on the floor for FIVE days!! All of this until we got on the plane to head here! I don't know what it is, but once we are on that plane, it seems like they know we are taking them with us and their whole demeanor changes!! She was going to Anthony AND Papaw on the plane! Didn't cry ONE TIME (well until we had landed and had to sit there forever to get off, but EVERYONE get's cranky at that time!) anyway, ever since we got here, she has been completely different. Going to everyone (in the family) willingly..LOVING on Olivia! They've had several games going where they tickle eachother and say, "Mama, Mama" and for some reason that is funny!! They are hilarious. She has just been so much happier since the plane ride! My back and should say ThANK YOU !!! :)
ABout Zoey! Well, one of her nannies wrote to her in a book we were given and it said she has the personality of a boy! Well, I was a little confused about that AT FIRST! Now, I know! She's MEAN!! HAHA Well, not really mean, just rough! She has head-butted Olivia, pushed her and hits at her! Now, I have to say that everytime she does it, it's when she's laughing, so I don't think she's trying to be mean...just must be her way of "playing?" She does push Olivia if she gets close to me and she doesn't want her there, or if she wants something Olivia has, but to me that's a normal almost 2 yr old act, but yes...we are trying to correct it. SHe's understanding more and more and it's getting better..but she is TOUGH!!!

She has been calling me mama for a few days! She points to and says, "DOG" and says, "uuff, uff" for ruff, ruff...She's been pointing to flowers and saying, the chinese word for flower. She was humming, "twinkle, twinkle little star" yesterday ON TUNE!!! She loves to put shoes on and cracks up when you take them off. She likes her hair to be brushed and does pretty well with bows in it. She is an AMAZING mimicker! She signs for cracker, milk, eat and more (meaning she wants more) this has helped ALOT and she's starting to sign and say what she wants, but that will take time. She shakes her head yes or no to whatever we offer her. We never have to guess at what she wants. She likes to walk and hold mine and Olivia's hand. I think she pulls her hair out when aggravated, so we have had to start stopping that. She wrings her hands, pulls her clothes and and moves her feet back and forth when angry or annoyed. She cries for 10-15 minutes at a time (the nannies told me she did this and it's true!!) She has GREAT coordination and can pick up the smallest thing. She's AMAZED at technology...the computer and phone. She watches while we type and are on skype the whole time!! SHe moans alot! (And those of you who know me, knows that gets on my nerves!!! God has a sense of humor doesn't He!!!!) She hated baths til we got here! BUT she HATES to get her hair washed!!
From what we can tell, she's like Olivia and does alot of things with both hands, either/or! Her and Olivia have the Exact hair color. Many ppl, even those who don't know us, say that look like real sisters?? God is amazing!!

Well, that's all the writing for now. I will post alot of pics for you and just tell you where we were. If you have any specific questions, as them on here and I will answer them for you! thank you to all who have prayed/been praying! The prayers are DEFINATELY felt and we love, need and appreciate all of them and keep them coming! Still don't like planes and I want to get home to see my boys!!!  We miss them something terrible!!! Can't wait to see everyone!!! Enjoy all the pics!!!
