We started today out with a leisurely breakfast and a little last minute shopping. About 3:00 we went to the US Consulate for the swearing in ceremony. It was such a beautiful site to see so many adoptive families finish the paperwork process. The man in charge of the ceremony asked how many second time adopters there were. Then third time and then 4th time. There were two couples there adopting for the 4th time. One of which is Stefanie and Chris over at
NiHao Ya'll....she is also pictured at the bottom of this post.
Cameras weren't allowed at the consulate so we had to take pictures of our new American here at the hotel lobby.
After the ride back from the consulate we went to have a celebratory dinner with our new friends The Cotters. (see below)
After dinner we walked past the White Swan Hotel to have an ice cream treat. Then we walked around in the White Swan and ate our cones. The waterfall in the White swan is very pretty.
Then we came back to the hotel to see if we could stuff appx 17 days of shopping into our 4 bags. We've almost got it all in.....we are definetley much heavier going home than when we started out.....We leave EARLY in the morning for our first flight but we'll be home before Friday is over in TX. HALLELUJAH!!!
