We had another good day in China. Today was very special because it was the day we took our oath at the Consulate. It was crazy busy in there, but it's always special to take that step. Afterwards, the girls got all dressed up and we had pictures taken in the lobby. It's not a "red couch" like at the White Swan, but it was still a really fun moment. With only 5 babies this time, it was much less chaotic than when we did it for Tia. But we put Rosie on the end of the couch, just like we did with Tia, and I swear she did the exact same thing as Tia did..................just sat there and took it all in. She just looked at everyone with her big brown eyes and was so sweet. I had to get her a new pair of shoes (as if we don't have enough shoes!) because her feet are so tiny. But even the pair I got are a bit big. They are super cute, though. It was a fun time. This afternoon, we just hung out. Mike and Tia went to the pool while Rosie napped. But then a storm came in, so that was the end of the swimming. Tia has made a few friends while we've been here, so the girls continued to play in one of the rooms and had a great time. Everyone is so nice. We've really met some wonderful people.
Yesterday, we went to the Pearl Market. It was HUGE! I am attaching a picture that looks like a big mall, but keep in mind, the only thing in this "mall" is jewelry. It's mind boggling. Tia just wanted a single pearl, so we got her one and decided that when she turns 16, we will make it into a special ring. She was so excited.
Tomorrow we go to the zoo in the morning and then it will probably take us the rest of the day to prepare to leave. Our room looks like a hurricane blew through! Stay tuned....................
