Day 14

Today was our consulate appointment at the embassy!  Basically you take an oath with all the other families that are there and then you wait for your name to be called so that they can go over the paperwork with you.  Of course we were the last family to be called- what's new?  Once we finished, we went back to the hotel.  There the boys went to work out while the girls went to the playroom.  After playing for a while the girls went shopping.  Today we hit the jackpot.... squeeky shoes!  I have bought about 5 pairs for Emma already but I had seen really cute ones on other peoples blogs.  Well, today I found the shop that had really cute ones!  I bought 13 pairs of all different sizes!  I may even go back tomorrow for more!  You can't beat $7 for leather shoes!  After our shopping we came back to the room and put Emma down for a late nap.  After an hour I woke her up and let her play a bit.  We decided to go off the island and through the herb and pet market again this evening to head towards McDonalds.  We had a nice walk and enjoyed our burgers and fries!  Can't believe we have only 2 more nights till we head for the airport to leave China!  Emma is such a blessing!  She smiles all the time and loves to walk around exploring!  We are so thankful to God that China has allowed us to be the parents of this beautiful little girl!  Enjoy today's pictures!

 

I just couldn't resist!
