A Lazy Day in Guanghzou -- March 5

Today was a relaxing day in Guanghzou. We did have a change in our schedule. Bruce, our CCAI Rep. called and told us that they have moved our Consulate appointment from Tomorrow to today. So, this afternoon at 2:45 we left to go to the U.S. Consulate. We did the swearing in ceremony this afternoon with many other families. I just wish the girls understood the significance of this small ceremony. It is now official, Kenzie will be a U.S. citizen as soon as we touch ground in San Fransisco on March 7. We actually looked into changing our tickets to come home tomorrow since we had the swearing in ceremony today but it wasn't going to work. Therefore, we have to kill one more day. But, to know that everything is done is a really good feeling. On a different note, Kenzie is extremely ticklish. She has the cutest little giggle and it is so contagious. At this very moment the two girls are playing on the carpet in our room laughing their little heads off. Today we walked around the island and enjoyed the sights, sounds, and smells of China. I also forgot to mention that on March 3, two days ago, our group celebrated Kenzie's birthday. One of the mother's in our travel group, her name is also Kaleigh, also celebrated her birthday on March 3rd so we had wonderful birthday cake after all going out to eat at a Thai Restaurant. The pictures from tonight are from our little outing of sight seeing the Shamian Island and our hotel. Take care, Love,JILL
