Sunday in Guangzhou

After another relatively sleepless night, we ended up having a great day with Daniel:) This morning, we attended a church service with our group, and then we decided to venture out to find the Catholic Church on the island. When we got there, mass was over and the church was locked. I found an elderly woman and asked if we could go inside. She walked me to the front door, opened the church's front door with a key and instructed me, in Chinese, to close the door when we were through. It was very cool. Jimmy and I went inside, all by ourselves, took some time to pray, and then locked up when we were done.

Luckily, Daniel fell asleep in his stroller. He has been protesting his nap lately. Life is just too much fun these days for napping! In the afternoon, we went to the jade and pearl markets for shopping--or just to look anyway. Daniel stuck like glue to Grandpa and to Daddy. We loved that he watched Jimmy put his sunglasses on his head and totally imitated him. He did a pretty good job too!

Tonight we went for Italian food. It was Daniel's first time eating non-Chinese noodles (that we know of), and he loved spaghetti with butter. Jimmy loved putting the napkin on his head (see photo). He was really good in the restaurant. He was just diggin' the quality time with all of us and the group that joined us.

And so the night was ended with a full belly, a full diaper, and hopefully a full night of sleep!
