One More Sleep In Guangzhou!

Well, today is our last day in Guangzhou! One more sleep until we return to Beijing and then we fly home on 8/1!! It's hard to believe!

Today we have a ceremony where they swear us in as Gigi's parents. She's been ours officially since 7/21 and everytime we do the next step or fill out a new form we hear it's official now. It's been made official about 6 times now! LOL! Today, I guess, it will be ceremonially official!

I'm sorry to dissappoint all of Gigi's fans out there but we were told no cameras, no video, no cell phones!! Sorry! We will be leaving them in the safe in the room so we don't have to worry about leaving them on the bus.
I'm very sad not to be able to capture this moment on film.

I started packing last night - it took me months before the trip to get ready & now I have to pack it all back up in a few hours!! We will probably need to leave some things behind because now we have diapers & formula & baby things that weigh a lot.

Despite any of Dan's reports we didn't do that much shopping - we hope no one is dissapointed about not getting souvenirs. We did get things for Gigi as I would like to give her a gift from China every year on her birthday so she has a connection to her heritage throughout her life. Please don't be insulted...our luggage can only weigh 44lbs each for the in-China flight & we were at our limit on the way here! Besides we are bringing back a very sweet treat for everyone to enjoy for many, many years to come...GIGI!!

Daddy & Baby are snoring - it's so cute to listen to!

I guess I better do some more packing while I have the chance!

Love,

Gigi's Mommy
