We had breakfast with Mary, Ruth and Dennis this morning. We had trouble moving; the bed is so hard and Jeff was having trouble breathing this morning. That must mean it is time to go home! After waiting for this trip for soooo long, it is hard to imagine that tomorrow we will be on a plane and wrapping this part of the adoption up! I can't say I'm dissapointed. What a trip! Breakfast was great at the all you can eat buffet. Dennis went back 4 times. I don't think he has ever been to an all you can eat place like that. Rebekah got banana in her hair again as well as french toast all over her arms. Did I mention how excited I was to come home? Atleast at home, R can get as messy as she wants...easier to clean up. After breakfast we had a few last minute gifts to shop for. We took some pictures of the statues around this place and then back to the hotel to chat a little more with Ruth, Mary, and Dennis. After saying our goodbyes to them, we were of to the American Consulate to take an oath! This is the final part of our adoption. It was really neat to be on a piece of America in another country. The oath was just to swear that all of the information we have provided has been true. It still made me cry...what else is new. Then back to the hotel to take a picture of most of the group and pack. Jeff had to go to our guides room because there was some misunderstanding dealing with our tickets from GZ to Hong Kong. We almost could not come home! That would be tragic. Rebekah must feel the excitement for it took her a long time to go to sleep. Can't wait to see my kids, let alone everyone else. Well, off to bed. Tomorrow we have to have all of our bags outside of our door at 5:00am...that is 2:00 in the afternoon on Wed. for you. Our plane lands at 9:30 am on Thurs. Isn't that strange? Our plane takes off in Hong Kong at 12:30 Thurs. afternoon but we get home at 9:30 Thurs. morning.

Jill and Blake, expect us home around noon. We don't mind if you are there or not. If you are not there...thank you soooo much and we will call to get the key.


Kids...you better get ready to be hugged.


Next time we post we will be home!!!!!! Give us a few days to get adjusted to the time. I am sure the next few days will be a blur for us!

Loads of Love to all
