Free Day

Today is a free day. Our guide took our paperwork to the American Consulate and we're just waiting on his call to make sure everything was done correctly. This afternoon is the "Red Couch" photo with all the babies. I think we're going to dress her in one of the silk outfits we had made for her in Nanchang. She's been very fussy the last two days. She's cutting another tooth and, on top of her possible sinus infection, she's been unhappy at times. She really enjoys the Swan Room in the hotel, a room set up by Mattel for the little ones. It's nice to go down there and mingle with the other families as well.

Tomorrow is her swearing in at the Consulate so that when we land at Dulles on Wednesday she'll become an American citizen. I can't believe we leave the day after tomorrow. Sometimes it feels like we just got here, but others it feels like we've been here forever.

Sorry no pictures, have to run to give Zoe her bath.

It was so great to see your red couch photos in the e-mail. We were both very excited that we immediately picked out Zoe in the "line-up" she looked great! Sorry that the little peanut is under the weather. She will soon be flourishing under your care. Have a safe journey home. Love, M & D

Thank you for your blog. We are leaving for China at the end of the month for a similar journey.

Nice to know internet access hasn't been an issue :)
