Last Post From China!!

Hey everyone! This is our last post from China!! Tonight we need to have all of our bags packed and have them sitting in the hallway for the bellboys. They will actually take all of our luggage to the airport for us ahead of time. That is really nice!! Today consisted of a wonderful breakfast, like always, and then group pictures in the lobby. It was quite the fiasco!! If you can imagine 30 plus families, all with their new children all waiting to be photographed, then add on some kids that are hungry, tired, or just plain not excited with the moment, and wrap it all together, that is what it was like!! We all were in our "group" pictures depending on which province our girls came from, and then we took province pictures of just the girls. Hopefully I will have some good pictures to attach to this post. We had a little down time after that, so we of course bought some more shoes for Taya (3 bucks a shot, why not!!) and a piece of luggage to bring all of the souvenirs home in!! We leave at 3:00 to head to the American Consulate (or Embassy?? I’m not sure!!) to take an oath, and then we are free to head back to the United States!!! We are so ready to be home. God has answered our prayers for a beautiful daughter to fit right into our family, for a healthy trip with no illness, for our boys to be safe and happy, and to bring us all home again. Please pray for the last part, as we aren’t quite home yet!! ( : This has been a journey of a lifetime and we are so happy to have been able to share it with family and friends. Your prayers and well wishes meant and mean so much to us. We just can’t wait to have you all meet our little princess, but most of all we can’t wait to become a complete family when we see our boys again!! Dustin and Jonah….It’s oh so close to time to meet Taya!! Can’t wait!! See you before you know it!!
