VERY big day!!!

…everything led up to THIS day! The whole trip was planned around THIS day (well, after Gotcha day, of course). We had our American Consulate appointment. Today. Tahlia was granted her visa to be an AMERICAN CITIZEN!!!! Once we walk through immigration at our port of entry into America, she will OFFICIALLY be an AMERICAN CITIZEN!!!! We lifted our right hands and swore her in, on her behalf.

We dressed her in her American onsie to celebrate!!!

After our BIG morning we toured downtown Guangzhou. We saw the Asian Games Stadium, the tallest TV tower in the world, and the 10th and 7th tallest buildings in the world. And, right smack in the middle of it all were bamboo and palm tree gardens. It was very beautiful….China knows how to do beauty. They build with such a beauty! So much of the architecture and design is so gorgeous!

Now, we’re just eating some pizza and hanging out and playing….Tahlia gets to run around the hotel room being crazy in her Onsie…SO CUTE! Isabella is such a great playmate!! SO glad she is here!!!
Brian is getting ready to play some basketball with some Chinese men, that should be a funny sight! He’s excited! Our guide, John is taking him.
Here’s the pics from today!

Tahlia Consulate DAY!

We are so ready to come home…just 48 hours and we will be on the plane! I am not looking forward to that long plane ride, but I am looking forward to kissing my other three babies….I miss them so so much…I ache to squeeze them!

Here’s a video showing how daddy is trying to win Tahlia’s heart…..:) she will come to him only for food at this point…..whatever it takes!!:)

And, here’s is one of Tahlia’s FAVORITE things to do when walking!
