Goodbye Guangzhou...


We are packing up today and will be on our way back home soon! Our flight leaves at 9:00pm. We will leave the hotel at 5:00pm. We got up this morning, ate breakfast, and took a taxi to Shamian Island. The White Swan Hotel is there, and that is one of the places we went shopping this week. It is so pretty...lots of beautiful flowers:) We went to the White Swan to take some pictures on the famous red couch. It has been a tradition for years for adoptive families to take pictures of their children on the red couch. Betsy did very well, but had a melt down after several pictures. She loved the dresses we brought for her to wear! I just wanted to say one last time...thanks for all your prayers, comments, and emails!! This has been an awesome journey, and we are only just beginning:) Please pray for our endurance and patience during the long flights we have ahead of us. Thank you again for sharing in this special time with us.
