This has been an amazing journey from beginning to end! It was very tough in the middle, but looking back, there is not a part that I would want to miss out on. The hardest part was being away from our other two children, although I couldn't imagine them being here for the full 2 weeks with us, either.
We are on the final countdown here in Guangzhou and in China as a whole. We are all ready to leave the "Suite Life" here and get home again! The plan today is for our group to take red couch pictures at 2:00 PM here (pictures of all of our children dressed in traditional Chinese wear), then the bus ride over to the consulate to take our oath, and get Caleb's visa that takes him and us out of China. We will leave the White Swan at 6:00 AM and we fly out of Guangzhou (in the province of Guangdong) into Shanghai (in the Shanghai Municipality). We have a bit of a layover in Shanghai though and do not leave there until 3:00 in the afternoon. It will be a long day, as we gain 13 hours at sometime during the day and get into Sioux Falls at a little before 10:00 PM.
We will be very excited to touch the soil of South Dakota, snow or no snow! Thank you for following our blog and for supporting us on our journey. Thank you for your prayers and we will ask that you, please, once again keep us in your prayers through our travels tomorrow as it will be a long day for us, and an especially long day for a 2 and a half year old.
Thank you again and I will update pictures after the swearing in and the red couch pictures.
