Today was a free day of sorts. We had to be in the room from 10:30 - 12:00 while Elvin was at the Consulate in case there was a problem with the children's visas. We spent the afternoon shopping for silk clothes for the "famous" Red Couch Photos. We will meet with our group in the morning to take photos on the Red Couch. For those in the adoption community, you know how special this is. Getting pictures on the Red Couch makes it all seem so official :)
Tonight we went on the Pearl River Cruise. Uh-Ho! Can you say motion sick. Hal and I both had to take Dramamine within 2 minutes of boarding the boat. Once we got past that, it was beautiful to see all of the lights reflecting off of the Pearl River. The dinner was not yummy but it was lots of fun to go to the top deck and feel the breeze. It was beautiful. Anna Grace entertained everyone on the bus ride back by singing Jesus Loves Me and You are My Sunshine. She is such a special little girl. We are so blessed with all of our children.
PS---It was hilarious to watch Andrew figure out how to eat Corn on the Cob. He loved it. He thought he was so cute sticking it in his mouth. He loves to say "cheese" for the camera now. He fits right in with our family:

Selina Smith is my daughter-in-law. She told me about you and your adoption of Andrew. He is a very handsome you boy. The surgeon did a wonderful repair on his lip. It sounds like you have had a fun and rewarding trip, although it may have been stressful at times. You are special people. May you have a safe journey home.

Wish I could see Andrew and that corn. You have some sweet children and I am so very happy for you all. I know you are so ready to get home. Praying all continues to go well there.
