blessing at Temple and Visa Ceremony
This am we went to the Seven Banyan Tree Temple and had Morgan blessed. It was a wonderful experience. we then went to the white Swan, dressed her up in a pretty outfit and took some red couch pictures and then we did some more shopping. We ate at lucy's again and then came back to the hotel do get ready to go to the American consulate for the Visa ceremony. there were about 16 other families. No cameras allowed, so we couldn't take pictures. There was a big sign congratuating all the adoptions and then we were handed our brown envelopes not to be opened until we get to immigration back in the States. We all raised our right hand and repeate after the gentlemen and that was it. Yeah! She's almost an American! tonight, Ecko is watching little one so we can get all packed up. I'm hoping to post one more time in Hong Kong before we leave for the States. Pray for us! Love everyone. Bye China! Thank you for my little girl.

another Day in Guangzhou
well, today was kind of a bummy day. We all slept til around 9am, which was shocking. I guess we all needed it. Morgan isn't feeling very well today, still really congested. The happy photos on the newest slide show are from yesterday. We went back to Shamian Island did some more shopping and went to the play room at the White Swan hotel. We ate lunch at Lucy's, had grilled cheese sandwich, Renee had fish. It was so good. The picture with the other family is a family that we met in Nanning. They are americans, but live in Beijing. Her husband works for caterpillar, but they are coming back to the states this year she said. They are so sweet. We have enjoyed talking with them. Morgan is napping right now, which is good. She is really not feeling well. We hope tomorrow is better since the visa ceremony is tomorrow and we wanted to put her in one of her fancy dresses so she looked all pretty. tomorrow is our last day here. I think we are both ready to come home, but in another sense, it's kind of sad leaving here. Maybe, Morgan senses that also. We spoke to another family that also said their baby was not happy today. Odd huh? We are hoping to go to the Temple tomorrow also to have Morgan blessed. Well, that is all for now. Miss everyone. It's almost time to come home!

Medical Exam Day
This morning we took a taxi to Shamian Island to have Morgan's medical exam. There were about 7 other families there, but it went very fast. Morgan weighs 17.5 pounds. Her temp. was good. Ears, lungs and throat all look good. We then walked down to do a little shopping. Met a really nice lady that owns a shop called Jennifer's place. She gave us really good deals. We walked in the White Swan hotel and took a few pictures. it's a beautiful place. We are working on trying to get that adoption barbie. We had Papa John's pizza for lunch. it was really good. I have to tell you, if I don't have pizza for the next year, that will be just fine. I'm about over pizza. I figured being in China there would be plenty of vegetables, but it seems like broccoli is all I can get. In Beijing, I had cabbage that was great, but it doesn't seem like it is very popular here. I really need a salad! Tomorrow, Ecko just picks up the medical report for the american consulate, wednesday is the visa ceremony and thurs am we will be taking a train back to Hong Kong. It seems like the days are flying now. It will be so great to see everybody.
