Sorry to be posting so late but I had trouble getting this post to go through Friday night. Friday was an exciting day for us. We went to the Provincial Police Department and picked up all the passports for the babies. Dallas could leave Jiangxi province finally. She is now the adopted child of American Citizens but still is a Chinese citizen. We will apply for a visa for her to enter the U.S. next week. When she steps foot on American soil she will officially be an American Citizen!!!
We went to a porcelain shop Friday afternoon. It was absolutely breathtaking in there. The prices were dirt cheap. Johnny sat on the bus with Dallas while I did some serious shopping. Poor guy almost had a heart attack when he saw me carrying my packages. I will try and post a picture of the hand painted tea set I bought later. I even have the certificate stating who painted it.
We went to a cheap shopping area later in the afternoon. You could buy just about anything you were looking for. I bought Dallas 3 pairs of shoes for 6 dollars. We all went to McDonald's for dinner. It tastes exactly the same as it does at home. Dallas had her first fry but she didn't seem to impressed. I took a cab back to the hotel with Shannon who is also in our travel group. I have never been so freaked out in my life. They drive like maniacs in China. I held onto Dallas for dear life in the back seat. I wanted to kiss the ground when we got out of the cab but I didn't.
We are all doing just fine. The lump on her head is going down everyday. She is changing everyday. She finally rolled over for the first time so we are making progress. I think she is afraid we are going to leave her. We have to constantly hold her. Nighttime is pretty rough as she will not go to sleep unless Johnny holds her all night. She is definitely a "Daddy's Girl."
