Today was another good day. Our guide, Anne, took our papers to the consolate today and all cleared just fine. Seems we're in line for our 'swear in' appointment tomorrow at 3:30, then we're gonna go to the circus at 7:30pm and then on Friday afternoon we will pick up the girl's US visas and catch the train at 5pm..... Then we will spend Friday night, and Saturday with the Chungs and then head home on the plane on Sunday around noon.. Funny thing... we get home at 3:30pm in Portland on Sunday, gaining 15 hours. :)
All are welcome to come welcome us at the airport with our new daughters. Please do not be insulted if they seem quiet and overwhelmed, but they are looking forward to it. Just might not show it. :) Trust us... all of us will appreciate seeing you familiar faces after 3 weeks of being gone and not recognized by anyone. :)
Had a nice time meeting another Christian man here in Guangzhou we were told about. He took us out to Chinese lunch. I am posting one picture from our lunch including a chicken head mixed into our chicken pot. Believe it or not.... it was still in the pot when we left the table. Zoe ate enough shrimp for our whole family. She had to peel each one... but let's just say... she's done it before.
We have quite a walk established up to the local "walmart" type store that has some little strip type stores around it. Tonight Josiah wanted KFC, so we made our way up there. Zig and zag around bikes and cars. We're getting quite good at it, especially Josiah.. Be aware... Josiah's driving may be horrible when we get back cause he's learning a lot of BAD HABITS from the cab drivers. :(
Lots of love to all of you,
Stephanie

Zoe has a beautiful smile in the picture! Wow, she ate a ton of shrimp....I would want to do the same! We continue to pray for your family and look forward to seeing you soon. Miss you all. Annalisa says hello to Amberlee, and be careful when you are walking around! Love, Bonnie and family
Nice pictures Zoe seems to be fitting in really well from the pictures. Well you have a good last few days and we will see you very soon. Love you all.
It nice to see Zoe smiling in the last few post. Is that what she has settled on or does she still prefer Gui Yuan? I hope that both of the girls have better time on the short trip to see the Chungs. I read that you want a welcoming party on Sunday to meet you at the airport, but where? You can't meet people at the gate as they come off the plane anymore, which I hate. I have hung out shopping at IKEA and waited for Kris to call me to pick him up at the curb the last few times he flew out of PDX. Can people wait for you guys just outside the luggage claim or maybe in the lobby? See you in a few days!
