Last Step the Oath and The Red Couch

 

Today was a BIG day. We did the red couch and took the oath. Not sure which is bigger. LOL!

The Red Couch is Famous at the White Swan! Above are  Natalie and Catherine getting ready in our room for the photo shoot! Catherine is going to miss Natalie, a lot. She cried today when some of our group left and mentioned Natalie.


Big Sisters - Catherine, Bailey, Erin and Natalie waiting for the red couch.

Bailey and Cat in front of the bird cage. Bailey gave Cat a going away gift today - a good luck coin with a ladybug. We will truly miss this family.

Family of Four!



Babies getting on the couch. Teagan is in-between  her good friends Keenan (edge of couch) and Noah and under Angel's Home friends - Suhn and Grace.



Notice here the movement of Keenan on the left of the couch to a standing and Teagan turning to see why Noah is crying.



Last, we have Group 1591's photo. A HUGE Group! We took the oath together at the US Consulate later in the aftenoon. You take the oath on your child's behalf. Teagan will be an official US citizen when we land in the US on Sunday. The US Consulate is in a different place than it was for Cat's oath. It was a much nicer space.




We leave Guangzhou tomorrow morning and off to Hong Kong. We will say good bye to the rest of our group tomorrow morning. It's going to be hard to say good bye again.When we land on Sunday, we will have been in China 3.5 weeks.  We are ready to come home!
