Four more days!

A little yesterday with some clouds (photo courtesy of Catherine).

Had a slow day yesterday. Teagan still seems to be sleepy and fussy a lot more since the vaccinations. A lot of parents whose children had to get them are saying this. Not all children are under the Hague process, so some children did not get any vaccinations. We took her to the clinic because she continued to pull on her ear. They said she was fine - just wax.

We got our VISA for Teagan!!!! One more step - the oath today, and we are done with paperwork in China. There is a 6 month follow-up at home. We had to wait in the room until 1130 to be notified that our visa was approved. At which point, Teagan fell asleep.  And slept for 4 hours.




 Yes, we took photos at the pool! After witnessing a very large man from another adoption group boldly take photos with a large camera and video set, we were emboldened. It seems like others were as well, as I saw no less than 5 people out with cameras yesterday.

Teagan started with her stacking cups - which are like socks by the way. Where do they go? How do you lose one at a time?



Catherine dived and swam around in the larger pool that is connected to the kiddy pool. in fact you can swim under a bridge to the two of them.




After stacking cups, Tegan wanted to float on her back.







 Then it was off to climb the same two steps. 150 times.


Teagan took a rest with Jason, while Catherine and I took a trip to the waterfall.


We had a dinner cruise on the Pearl River last night. Here is the trip there.



And inside the boat.

And later outside on the deck.

  1. Looks like you guys are having a great time--no doubt you are eager to get home, though! We took pictures at the pool, too (oops!). Teagan is sure a cutie! Ellie has enjoyed seeing the pictures of Catherine. I remember when we went on the riverboat cruise in 2004--Ellie screamed and cried almost the entire time. We spent a lot of time on the roof deck.
    Hope the rest of your trip goes well!
