Red Couch Photo's

Today we took the famous red couch photos and tried to get 7 babies and one three year old to look at the camera or camera's as it was.  The babies kept trying to touch each other or pull the other ones clothes it was pretty funny. Grace, our 3 year old would not sit on the couch so her mom is holding her in the floor in front of the couch. All the babies did great though, no one was crying so that was success. We think Katie looks adorable in her dark blue dress!!
Our guide took our paperwork to the consulate today and we waited in our room as instructed in case a question came up. Luckily, no questions so all our paperwork and fees was in order.  Tomorrow we all go to the consulate at 2:45 for the citizenship ceremony. We will receive her Chinese passport back with her US visa inside. After that we are good to go!!
The weather here was actually quite nice today, a breeze and lower humidity. We walked and shopped a little more. Everyone who has already been here before has told us buy what you think you want now  because you will regret it when you get home if you don't. So I have done my best to take them at their word and get what I think we need. Mostly some silk dresses for both girls in different sizes and bigger sizes for the future. The group is going to the pearl market tomorrow and to the budist temple. About half the group is going and about half is staying here to finish shopping and to start packing. We started packing tonight so we will see how it goes.
