Today we had the American Consulate appt. /swearing in ceremony and one more document to sign. Now I think it is official :0 Then we went to an interesting market-people selling all kinds of live things-to bulk tea and lots of medicinal herbs/roots-many things I had no idea what it was. They sell it wholesale and business people come from other cities in China to buy it and sell it. One thing they sold were live scorpions -turtles and special roots-you cook it all in a soup and it detoxes you -oh my. After the market we went for lunch and Sammy had ice cream for dessert. Hannah saw Sammy eating it and she wanted a taste as well-you will find the photo.
I heard from a little bird that some sweet friends would like to meet us at the airport when we return from China. We appreciate the thought but including driving time-layover time and flight time-we will be traveling for over 30 hours-+ a 13 hour time difference. By the time we make it to the airport we will be exhausted-not to mention a little girl who may be on her 20th meltdown. We REALLY cannot wait to see everyone-I have missed you and thought of you bunches- but after a few days of recovery at home we will be very excited to see all of you!!!
A big thanks goes to Jackie W. for giving us little stacking cups -it has gotten us through many official appts. And plenty of other times too :) We pack tomorrow and do a few last things(get Hannah's passport/visa) and soon we start for home.
Love you all! Lisa, Marty, Sam and Hannah
