Goodbye Taiyuan, Hello Guangzhou

It was a bittersweet day today. We had to say goodbye to our sweet guide, Summer and to Caleb's province, Shanxi. We really had a good visit in Taiyuan, much to do in part to our wonderful guide Summer. She bought the kids gifts today (you too Nathan!) and there were plenty of tears today as we left from all of us. Yesterday she had taken us to a local noodle restaurant (this province is known for its noodles) and we were able to convince her to eat with us. That was an experience! Our entire meal for 9 people cost us 35RMB or about $5. Yes, you read that right. The noodles really were good and we made quite a scene everywhere we went in the restaurant!
This morning I had a panic moment that God used for another miracle. Our ever dutiful syringe broke in the middle of Caleb's morning bottle. I about cried. So before I freaked out too badly I decided to try the cleft bottle one more time. He took it!!! He is now drinking out of the cleft bottle on his own. It was such a life saver on the plane and we are thankful that we "accidently" forgot the extra case in Kendra's suitcase for the orphanage.
We had a 3 hour flight from Taiyuan to Guangzhou and it was sooo sweet to see all of our group back together again with all the new additions. Everyone seems to be doing well and we celebrated with a pizza party with one of the families whom we got to know in Beijing.
I will try to post photos tomorrow afternoon some time. The usb cable is still packed somewhere and Ken had to go exchange money and make copies for the medical visit tomorrow. I'm so very thankful for Kendra and Faith - they have been so wonderful on this trip. The kids have done well and Kendra and Faith are earning lots of "good aunt" points :) Thank you also for all the prayers - each of you who have prayed for Caleb and for us are part of the miracle of this child. From the very first day, I have felt God's hand on this child and our trip. It has been awe inspiring - I give God the complete praise for it all!!!!
