Thursday

Today we went to the US Consulate and turned in the necessary paperwork, along with Ann-Jolie's passport, to get her visa so that we can skidaddle outta here and go back home. This visa states that when Ann-Jolie lands in the States, she becomes a US Citizen! WOOO HOOO!!!
We get her passport with that beautiful visa in it tomorrow evening, and then we spend our last night in China.
We head out to Hong Kong early Saturday morning; 6 a.m. to be exact. We will be taking a van to Hong Kong and that's about a 4 hr ride. Our plane leaves HK at 12:30ish Saturday!!! 
The plane ride from HK to Sanfranciso is about 13 hours; then we have a 4 hour layover there...THEN we fly from Sanfranciso to Houston...THEN we drive 4 hours to our lovely home!
Since we won't get home until really late (like 11 or 12) we'd like to ask that no one come over for a couple of days so that we can have some time to recover from the jet lag, and so that Ann-Jolie and the rest of the littles can have some time to adjust to all of the changes.

Before I end this post, I'd like to mention that a very lovely Christian woman (Jenny) who lives here in Guangzhou and owns a little shop on Shamien Island, told our little girl about Jesus today...In her language. She told her about the Bible, and she is bringing a children's Bible story book to our hotel tomorrow night for Ann-Jolie....priceless...What a gift.

Here are pics from the day:

    Your Ann Jolie looks like a PERFECT fit for your family. She is ADORABLE!!!!
    Blessings for the rest of your time in China and for your trip home!!! Vicki :)
