7 Sep

Hi, everybody.
This is our last full day in Guangzhou having a little breakfast.


Here's a funny sign I saw in a bathroom. If you have to click on this picture to read it, please do so and check out points three and four in English.


We finished all our last minute shopping today (that is until we get to Hong Kong) and after lunch we went to the US Consulate to pick up Sarah's passport w/visa and immigration paperwork. Here's mommy and Sarah when we got back to the room diplaying Sarah's IR3 immigrant visa.


Then apparently mommy wasn't done shopping after all so Sarah and daddy stayed in the room and started getting stuff ready to pack. Sarah is thinking about the pizzas daddy just ordered from Danny's Bagel. We obviously didn't eat Chinese tonight.


This was a free gift from the Mattel toy company. They must have a factory over here or something because there is a big Mattel play room on the first floor of the hotel. These Barbie dolls were placed in the rooms on the second day we were here. The funny thing is I wasn't in the room when Shellye walked in an saw the doll and she was trying to figure out why in the world I would buy such a thing. She didn't know whether to be offended or laugh. If you can't quite make it out, Barbie is in fact holding a Chinese baby girl. All the new moms got one...I talked to the lady who got twins -- she got two!! I looked around but there were no Ken dolls holding extra suitcases to hold all the stuff that Barbie bought on the adoption trip.


The next picture is truth in advertising. Yes, I am guilty of selecting only the nicest pictures of Sarah to put on the blog each day. This is Sarah when she did not get her way this evening. Little does she know mommy and daddy are not amatuers and that four others have tried to pull this on us. It may have made her angier that we had no sympathy for her, she just got her bath, diaper and jammies while she screamed her head off. Once she calmed down she got her bottle. Little sweetie pie.


We leave the hotel at 11:30 a.m. tomorrow. Not exactly sure what time we get in to Hong Kong but we'll definately put something up on the blog before we go to bed so ya'll can see something when you get up on Friday. Bye.

Hi Guys!
Excellent blog! We cracked up. Howard got home at midnight, had to go back to work 1/2 hour later, only to be sent home again. He then had a 7:30 AM case, so was up and out early.
We can totally identify--we have told Emily over and over that she has met her match in us, and she will not triumph!
Love, Liz and kids
