We have been preparing to come home all day. YAY!! We had breakfast this morning and swiped some bananas, oranges and apples off the fruit bar for tomorrow mornings breakfast. LOL! We will be getting up at 4:30am and leaving Guangzhou at 6am. We fly from Guangzhou, back to Beijing, have a 3 hour lay over and then fly 14 hours to Newark and on to Richmond VIRGINIA!!! We will be so glad to be home and in our soft beds. Olivia has decided when she gets home she wants: Spaghetti O's, my homemade spaghetti, Mexicali chicken, baked potatoes, soup, and chicken and dumplings, to name a few. She said she will not ask for Hong Kong take-out for quite awhile. ;o) She has enjoyed China immensely and wants to bring Sophia back to visit when they are older. She said it was really cool when the officer (an American lady) started to give us our oath and then started speaking fluent Chinese to one older boy that was being adopted. She said it was a great experience and she is so glad she came with us. Terry and I have certainly enjoyed watching her reactions and facial expressions this whole trip. We are so grateful to be able to have this chance and opportunity to be blessed with these 2 beautiful, awesome, amazing children from China. We have missed our boys so much and wish that we all could have made this trip together. Never know, maybe one day we can all come back as a family to China again. ;o)
Here are a few pics from today:

Sophia looks like she's always been a part of your family. It is meant to be. You are probably flying now and I am praying for safe travels. Can't wait to meet Sophia and see Olivia. God bless your family.
