Cantonese restaurant

who is that little girl?

for you Nana and Popi

found this pretty church

It is our last sleep in China.    The memories are bittersweet.   We have enjoyed our time here but we are ready to come home.  We had a delightful meal at an authentic Cantonese restaurant last night.  To say that we were the center of attention would be an understatement.  We managed to 'point' and order.  Then some waitresses decided to feed the kids.  They were very sweet about it.
We look forward to seeing  everyone~!!

Pearl River and Consulate.........

pick me UP!

Even though it rained, we enjoyed our ride down the Pearl River.  The lights were especially beautiful and Dumpling had fun entertaining everyone with her antics.  The Consulate appointment was uneventful. We will get her visa tomorrow .  Tomorrow is our last full day in China.  The time has flown by.  We have relished this opportunity to get to know our girl better each day.  She definitely knows what she wants and has a very sweet personality.  Her biggest hurdle right now is communication.  We are going to have to work on some sign language when we get home.  We miss everyone at home and can't wait for you to meet her!

Second medical clinic visit

Dumpling's new 'boyfriend' Z!

We went back to the clinic for our TB recheck.  Afterwards, we chatted with some fellow adoptive parents in the hotel.  We managed to find Dumpling a pair of Crocs that fit for $1.50 today!

For our sweet friends the 'S' family........

Thank you for the dress!

Chaos..........

a very busy medical clinic

one scared little girl

this is NOT too fun
Today was our medical clinic physical day.  Dumpling was apprehensive from the get-go.  She has a definite fear of all 'medical'.  I think that her previous hospital experience has left her with some real anxiety.
