Guangzhou - Aug. 5

Sassyness and tantrum 2's!!!  That was the theme of the day... so, i'm sure you can imagine how ready we are to go home:)  She still prefers Lance over me - but now i think it's more of a "power kick" thing - whatever... her "spoiled world" with dad is about over and her life will be changing yet again when we finally become 1 family again - i cannot wait to see my kiddos:)
 
Today we had a late breakfast (enough to get us by without having lunch) - afterwards, we took the traditional red couch pictures - she did a good job sitting somewhat still and smiling;) I was then anxious to get packing and organized while Lance and Maylynn played in the playroom. We decided to have Maylynn take an early nap - b/c we all know what happens when she doesn't get her sleep!  She's worse!! YIKES!!! we woke her at 2:30 so we could meet the shuttle to go to the US consulate for our FINAL step!  We couldn't take any cameras, cell phones or electronics - don't ask me why??? It's not that big of a deal... we all just submitted our final paperwork and then as a HUGE group took an oath that all of the information that we gave was the truth - they then gave us the "brown envelope"  It has a special seal on it and cannot be open until we go through immigration in Seattle.  As soon as her feet touch the ground she will be a US citizen:)
 
I also took a picture of our favorite "western" restaurant "Lucy's"- we ate there tonight - it was very pleasant - especially b/c Maylynn had a tantrum:) smile:)
 
Anyway, i'm exhausted, emotionally tired, worn out, easily cry and just plain ready to go home!  Please pr-y for our flights (no turbulance) and that we make all of our connections without running through the airports...  We are hoping to be home in Pasco around 5pm but if we can get on an earlier flight WE WILL!! However, we have to go through immigration with the other 500 people that i'm sure are wanting to come to the US tomorrow:)
