This morning was our appointment at the American Consulate, where we receive the documents necessary to apply for American citizenship for Lucy Kate and for her Visa. Our group also had a take an oath to promise to love and care for our children. Thankfully, Matt was feeling well at the time, but as the day went on, he and Jacob both had tummy issues. Matt had the worst of it. Not sure if it's something they ate or perhaps a viral issue...but they both had to miss the Pearl River Cruise tonight.....Madeline, Elijah , Emme and Lucy Kate and I had a great time....missed Baba and Jacob though!

One of the best parts of the evening was watching Lucy Kate and Keith...They were in preschool and English class at New Day together...Keith's family is currently adopting two children from New Day, and just arrived to join our group here in Guangzhou. As you can see, Lucy Kate and Keith were SO excited to see each other! Listening to them just talk on and on in excited mandarin was just adorable! What a joy to see these two together again! And what a lovely family!
