We're Done!!!

Well, it seems kind of fitting that I can't log onto our blog tonight. I won't try to post pictures - I will be lucky if this note posts.
WE ARE DONE!!! We had our visit to the Consulate this afternoon and Emma is now officially ours according to both the Chinese & the US! We are packing up and getting ready to vacate the White Swan. I wonder if we will ever be back? We have talked about bringing the kids back to China when they are older but we would really have no reason to visit Guangzhou & the White Swan. Who knows - maybe someday I will come to help adopt a grandchild!!! Wow - I would probably be close to 70 by then!!!LOL!!! It will feel good to get started on our way home. Tomorrow is going to be one long day, even though we leave at 9:30 am and get home at 9 pm - we will pass something like 25 hours in between.
We got to visit a Kindergarten this morning. It is a boarding Kindergarten - when both parents work, they often send their 3-6 year old children to boarding Kindergarten here in Guangzhou. The kids stay at the school Monday through Friday and then go home for Saturday & Sunday. Seems like it would be pretty lonely at home for Mom & Dad! The kids sang a lot of songs and did some dances for us. They also gave Bailey & Emma some necklaces and flowers. We found out that Emma likes to sing. On the bus, some of the other kids were singing songs and all of a sudden Emma started to sing. She did some kids songs and then she burst out in a really long involved song - our guide said it was from a Chinese Opera!!! Hmm...might have an opera star in our midst! We bought a CD of Chinese kids songs tonight and she really liked it. We will have to keep it handy because it helped calm her down tonight - the kids were getting a little hyped up because we were packing and trying to get all the last minute shopping done!
Hope to see you soon!!!
Signing off from China!!!!
