Conner is a Rock Star!

I am so grateful for one of the nurse's at our pediatrician's office who mentioned that Conner would be very popular here in China due to his blond hair and blue eyes.  So we were able to prepare Conner for the attention and he knew that people would consider him to be good luck and want to touch him and have their picture taken with him.  So he has been very gratious and good natured when he gets constant attention from many people....including cute teenage girls :-) We are very proud of how he has handled his popularity and how he has handled the trip in general!  He has been touched by people when walking on the streets - they just reach out and tap him and many people ask for permission to take his picture.  Yesterday, we were all eating lunch at the local zoo and many people took his picture and even ours as we were eating lunch.  I have to say that it gives you a fresh perspective when you are the minority in a culture, which will help us remember how Kelcy will feel when back in the states.  It has been a crazy couple of days so I will post more later but I wanted to share some pictures of Conner being a rock star and also some pictures of our trip to the local zoo in Guangzhou.

  1. I have been following along in your adventures and have been so happy for you all. I remember what it was like for us in Korea and it does give you perspective with regards to being a minority. She is just beautiful and seems to be adjusting pretty well. Having gone through it with my kids I was hoping that it would be the same with Kelsy. Just keep making those memories.
