Final days in Guangzhou


Just a quick note to say that all has gone well with the medical exam required for the US Consulate, and our paperwork was in order. (a sigh of relief) Tomorrow (5/6) we will have a quick ceremony at the Consulate and will have official permission for Julia to enter the US and become an American citizen. Here is a picture of Julia (and Shannon) talking with one of the doctors we had to see yesterday for all of this.

Also, here is a "clear" day in Guangzhou from our hotel room today. Not sure if the sun was out or not.



Then here is one more picture of Julia (and Kyle) taken at a park in Changsha a few days ago. A Chinese lady really wanted to see and touch Julia. That happens quite often.

So on 5/7, very early, we'll head to the airport and fly to Beijing for a final day of sightseeing. We're starting to pack now. Hopefully we'll blog one more time before heading home on 5/9!

I just cannot express how thrilled I am for ya'll. A family of FOUR--yippee. I know you've heard it a hundred times, but she sure is a pretty girl.
