The 13 AWAA families that we have become friends with as we have shared the past 2 weeks together.
Lilly and her mother share a love for the early morning
Trying to decide which one we wanted for dinner
Diane found out yesterday that a big group was starting home on Wednesday. We are not starting home until Thursday - Kinda, we have to fly back to Beijing Thursday, spend the night then start home from Beijing early Friday morning. Because we used American awards for our airfare there was limited availability on when we could travel, and Thursday there were no tickets. Anyway, Diane was not happy with her travel agent (me) yesterday when she found out half of our new friends were going to be home before we even started. Oh well it is the price you pay for being cheap I guess.
More importantly, We had our appointment at the US Consulate yesterday and received Lilly's visa and paperwork, so now when she passes through immigration in DFW she will be an American citizen!
This is our last day in Guangzhou, I am still trying to bargain on a set of golf clubs, Diane has most of her list completed I think, not that that will stop her from finding more bargains today.
Lilly is doing great, starting to figure us out a little bit, and get more comfortable with our personalities. She is ready to see her sisters (jie jies) so Haley, Macey and Emily be ready.
We are very excited about being on our way home, thanks again to everyone for the help.

Leave it to Diane to find bargains no matter where she is. :) Almost home! Be careful. See you soon. Love- Elizabeth
Looks like a shopper's paradise, huh Diane? I can't imagine your happiness about getting to the final stages of this process. How thrilling it will be when you walk through DFW and know that Lilly is finally on American (Texan!) soil. And what a sweet moment it will be to have your expanded family together for the first time. It must be hard to contain the excitement -- I'm smiling just thinking about it.
Can't wait to see you all again in person!
