It's Official

Last night we signed all the papers to legalize the adoption. This morning we went to the Civil Affairs Office for our final interview. To our surprise the girls needed to sign the adoption agreement as well. Each girl put an ink printed footprint as their signature. It was a lot of fun. Everyone had their picture taken and both girls were given a porceline vase.








After all that hard work we were all very tired and needed a nap. Sophie now sleeps with her bum in the air.

Then we were off to Walmart. We bought diapers, wipes, toys, and new PJ's. It was very busy. The girls love to shop! The say wave and say "bye bye" to everyone they meet.

Shopping made the girls very hungry and cranky. There were many tears when we returned to the hotel. Finally, at 5:30pm we met Lisa (our guide from Holt) and had a traditional spicey Nanchang dinner. We had beef in round, bread bowls, noodles, sweet and sour pork, and fried rice. It was very good. Nothing like American Chinese food. The girls ate up everything! Avery is especially a good eater.

Now we are night, night. The girls both have a chest cold and are going to the doctor tomorrow afternoon. We have tylenol cold and cough. Hopefully they'll feel better soon. Good Night!
