Well today I visited a seating factory in Guangzhou. It was very interesting to see the manufacturing process is in China. After that we had our oath ceremony at the US consulate and it went very quickly. Madeline was everywhere as the 60 other children sat quietly in their parents laps.
After we got back we cleaned up and all went to Dolche LeVita a beautiful Italian restaurant on the Island. The food was highly recommended. After a short walk we arrived at the restaurant which was very fancy but luckily we had plenty of snack to keep Madeline occupied.
We celebrated her birthday with cake back in the room. Thank you Dan, Carla and Emma for the birthday book. Thank you Mary Lynn for the doodle pad. She loves the gifts.
We are finally packing to come HOME!!! We fly out of Guangzhou tomorrow at 9:30 and we are so excited and yet dreading the flight at the same time. We miss you all so much.
Kids we will call tonight but will not be able to tomorrow at all probably, but we will be thinking of you all the way.
Thank you all for your prayers and encouragement. We will see you all very soon.
Jay, Shannon and Madeline
