WE ARE HOME!

It is Friday around 4 AM.  Our little lady thinks it is still 4 in the afternoon.  So I thought this would be a perfect time to update everyone on the last couple of days.

The trip home was a long one ... We were so glad to be sleeping in our own beds :-D

The last days in China were so fun!  Madeline's Visa paper work was finalized on Monday at 10:00 a.m.  We took an oath on her behalf, and gave a packet of paperwork that we had been preparing for months and the whole thing was over in 15 minutes.  It felt too easy, but I guess that was the point.  2 years of paper work for 15 minutes of easy.

We then had the afternoon at an Herbal Market and a Pearl Market.  Apparently you can get pearls cheaper than the US, but they were still hundreds of dollars.  You pick your pearls and they tie them together as you wait. Did I mention that the Herbal Market had live scorpions for sale???

Tuesday we got up early for 7 am Mass and the priest blessed Madeline and welcomed her as she started her Christian Life.  It was beautiful! Then he gave her a silver cross and blessed it. 

More about Tuesday tomorrow . . . Madeline is finally ready to sleep!  5:00 A.M. YEAH!
