Last Day in Guangzhou!
Our time in China is coming to a close! Yesterday Emme Jade was sworn in as a U.S. Citizen!! It was a special morning for all of us!
Emme Jade also had a very long morning!!! We got to see a little sugar & a lot of spice yesterday on the island. This girl definitely needs her sleep. So after a failed attempt to take her photos we chose an early lunch, and got her down for a three hour nap! Thankfully, happy Emme appeared at the pool late afternoon!
Ainsley and I hung out at the pool, and met some great adoptive families from Memphis and Birmingham! I always love hearing about other people's experiences. The "M" family is here with their five girls! Their oldest Annie speaks Mandarin... She came back to the room with us, and got Emme to brush her teeth!!!!! Thank you Annie! We may be calling you in 2 hours!! It was so funny.. Emme just opened her mouth for Annie.. No drama! She is such a cute little stinker!
Today we go to the island with our group for the red thread photos. Let's hope Emme is a little more excited for this photo shoot today!! Then a little more shopping, and we are off to Hong Kong!!!! By 1:00 on Thursday afternoon, we should be re-united with Sienna and Ruby! It has been too long!!!!! I can't wait to hug my girls!
This trip to bring Emme Jade home has been wonderful!!! God has blessed us with another special little girl, who we can't wait to bring home!
I will try to post from Hong Kong or the Tokyo Airport tomorrow!
Goodbye from Guangzhou!
