Today’s big news involved us just sitting around and waiting. Just after noon, our paperwork was accepted by the US Consulate and we got a phone call saying everything was fine, which we expected. We’re ready to go home, so this is very welcome news.

We spent the day walking around ShaMian island (the part of Guangzhou where our hotel is) and visiting the shops. Mommy bought Sarah two big bags full of clothes and a new diaper bag – all for about $120 US which is a great bargain.

We stopped by the “exercise park” again so that Jordan could play, and so that Mommy and Daddy could remember just how out of shape they are. It was a slightly painful lesson, but Jordan enjoyed his time there.

Wednesday … we get sworn in and get packing … Thursday … back to Hong Kong … Friday … home … hooray!
