Today was another busy day of dodging scooters and bicycles. Abbey just giggles when I get all panicky in the middle of the road. But it is seriously like a human form of frogger!
We finished up Abbey's adoption on the Chinese side. She is no longer a citizen of China and is our daughter in the eyes of the Chinese government. We were presented our certificate of adoption by the Civil Affairs office. It is pretty cool to see Abbey and Sydney's certificate side by side. God is so good to us. Far, far more so than we deserve.
After the official business was over, we went shopping for a few things that Abbey needed. We were with our guide this time, so things were alot easier. But at times I would turn around and there would be about 20 Chinese people standing behind us and staring at us. It is a bit unnerving, especially for Sarah who really wants to tell them to go away. Ashlyn pretty much just blows them off, but Sarah keeps saying, "What are they looking at? Seriously, we are buying books! Big flippin' deal!" Of course when she is acting like an elephant in front of the statue, it doesn't help.
We finished today off with a traditional Chinese dinner where Wayne and Abbey had a eating competition with chopsticks. Guess who won? She giggled at Wayne a lot today. He is pretty cute! :P
Sydney is starting to adjust to the time difference finally. She went down last night at 6 and slept until 4 this morning. But tonight she made it all the way until 8!
We have to have our bags packed and be ready to leave at 7:15 in the morning so I had better get going. We love you all and miss you very much!
