Greetings from China Everyone!!!
Sorry about my lazy update on the 16th - we were tired!! Hope
everyone liked the pictures.
Today Steve and John went with Peter, our guide, to apply for
the baby's visas. I stayed with Jae and Gale stayed with Emily.
After they got back, Steve said Peter took them to a huge
department store and Steve said the baby section was the largest
he has ever seen....figures!! He was actually on a mission to
find bibs for the baby. I didn't take alot of the disposable
bibs with me when we left Guangzhou, so I ran out. We actually
left a whole suit case at the White Swan Hotel in Guangzhou.
We'll get it tomorrow when we fly out of here and return to
Guangzhou - can't wait!! The White Swan has a gorgeous outside
pool that has my name written all over it!! Steve also came back
with Pizza Hut pizzas for lunch !!!!
I was ecstatic! This was our first taste of American food since
we left Guangzhou - we were all ready for it! Jae Lyn even had
some of the crust, and I think she enjoyed it!! She is one
eating machine!! She holds her own bottle, drinks from a sippy
cup and picks up her food with her left hand and places it in
her right hand and then to her mouth!!! She's a genius!! She
doesn't sit up by herself very well, but yesterday she rolled
over.
Gale and I met Peter in his room at 3pm today and had about two
hours worth of paper work to complete for the American Consulate
appointment for next week.
Tonight we are staying in. Steve ordered us something for
dinner, not sure what yet..
Tomorrow (Friday) our flight leaves Nanchang around 5:30 pm and
we should be at the White Swan around 8pm. Saturday is Jae's
medical appointment, which I am sure she will pass with flying
colors!! Sunday and Monday will be free days. Tuesday Peter will
take the baby's information to the US Consulate. Wednesday we
will go to the Consulate and Jae will be sworn in a as a U.S.
Citizen - then it's off to the airport and head back to the US!!
We'll post each day that we are here so everyone at home can
follow along and see photos of Jae Lyn. That's all for now!!
Love you all! Take care!!
With Love, from China,
Patti, Steve and Jae Lyn (a/k/a the cutest baby in the world!!) |
Hallelujah for Pizza Hut!!!
She's a Princess, alright !!
Jae Lyn and her "Ba Ba"
