This morning we went to the US Consulate to take the oath. We then came back to the hotel and had a meeting as a group about departures. Unlike our first travel group in 2010 with Grace this group has families with consulate appointments on 3 different dates and leaving today, tomorrow, Thursday and Friday! We are counting down. We leave out tomorrow!!!! Today will be our last night in Guangzhou! Normally it would have been the nicest of the cities we visit but it has been cold and rainy the entire time! We are ready to get home.We then had our family and group photos. Again unlike our first travel group with Grace - we were the only ones to dress our kiddos in Chinese attire - but I am so glad we did! They look beautiful. Enjoy the photos of our group, (and yes a family did get 9 month old gorgeous twin girl!) as always there is a beautiful story with each families journey, photo with the Leonard family, and our beautiful girls.
Say a prayer for Shelly - she has not been feeling well for a couple days and today couldn't even hold on for the group photo.
We had hoped to go back over to the island this afternoon to get Olivia's name done by Jordan, pick up souvenirs for boys and get some photos of girls, but weather not cooperating -hoping to do so before we leave tomorrow...gosh I miss the convenience of staying on the island.
They are so adorable. You got some great shots of them together. These two are going to be the best of friends. It is so great to see them together and so happy. You guys look great. I can't believe no one else dressed their child in chinese attire!!!!! That is crazy. Maybe since no "red couch" picture the assumed not. Oh well, your girls look wonderful. Can't wait to see you in two days!
ReplyDeleteI miss yo uso much! I can'tw ait for you to meet Olivia - gosh why am I crying!
DeleteHoly Moly
ReplyDeletethat is a BIG group!
Such a blessing to see all these children coming home!
And your girls are lovely!
Such an awesome work of God!
love their dresses-- so surprised no one else dressed up-- is it b/c it's harder to get outfits now that you're not on the island? was it easy to take a cab there?
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure why Emily. there are outfits here but we picked up when we went over to the Isalnd after medical visit because we chose to stay and take a cab back. If weather was nicer we would have done more often. You can get a taxi in front of the hotel and then we got one back from Victory. About 20 in uan
DeleteThey are BEAUTIFUL Girls!!! Glad you will be coming home soon!!!
ReplyDeleteLove that beautiful smile! Two beautiful girls you have! So happy for you and look at all those families on the steps...awesome!
