Consulate appointment day

Sorry this picture is so fuzzy, but it made me laugh. It is funny to me that a year ago, after only having Xander for a week, they were silly enough to play like this. Things like this still happen today, I m trying to get something accomplished and they are being silly.

Ruins that were found when construction began for the hotel we were staying in

Medical check-up and shopping

Well, this was the only thing on the agenda for the day, a medical check up which then allowed us to get a visa to bring our babies home. I'm having a hard time remembering that day, I remember the check-up, and then I believe we went shopping the rest of the day. The only pictures I could find from that day were pictures of the kids playing in our hotel room.

Last day in Fuzhou, Fujian

Macey loved the Aquarium so much we went back so we could see it. Unfortunately the mermaids were not performing that day.

I look angry, but I'm really not. Just wanted to show you how I ate most of my meals while in China!

Buying pearls!

Xan's first plane ride. It looks like he had a rough time, but once we got going he was fine.

Xichan Buddist Temple and shopping!

Shopping!

Eating!

Playing!

Side note: Today, I was able to meet up with Ashley (in the "eating" picture) and her 3 girls! It was the first time since China that we saw them and it was fantastic! Her family lives in Dallas and they live in Alabama, so they were here for a visit. It was just a nice realization that one year ago today we were also eating together, in a country on the other side of the world!!!
