Moms Birthday and The Doctor Visit

Today we slept in and then after breakfast we did the VISA doctors appointment. To say that Meng did not appreciate it, the doctors or that it broke our hearts to hear her cry is a vast understatement.  But we made it through the activity in one piece and with a good doctors report for the consulate! Tomorrow Jason goes to the consulate to put in the paperwork and do the interviews for us. We will be at the room from 9:30 to 11 am standing by if they have any questions for us. CCAI reps work so hard here in country to make everything as easy as possible, that they stress so much, so we don't have too. With 12 families coming on Sunday, Jason is taking a quick vacation and the other two ladies will be handling them. Jason was married three months ago so he is taking some time with his new bride.

Moms Birthday was met with the morning stress, which we eased with shopping and a nice late lunch at Lucy's:

We had cheese burgers and fries, which by the way Meng Meng loves! Then we saw children from the shamian elementary school doing their exercises:

We walked around and came back to the hotel for the evening. Meng and I bought Ma Ma a Jade necklace with the mother/daughter symbol on it. She likes it. I found a nice DVD store in a cart on the street and tonight Meng and I sat in a chair and watched WALLE on the MAC! We laughed and played, and she is so just like her dad and sister, she loves the PC and watching TV.

Well all for now, tomorrow we have just the interview which Jason is taking care of for us then in the afternoon we have a tour of the Pearl market. Wednesday we have the oath and free time , thursday we get the final paperwork and VISA,  then we are going to the Zoo to see the Panda Bear, pack up and fly to the States on Friday!!  We will really miss China and all the wonderful people here. It has been such a wonderful trip, full of ups and downs, but the people here really made the trip wonderful. We are already talking about coming back in a few years and seeing the country again as it grows and matures. This time we will bring Chris with us.
