Getting our picture made on the famous red couch. For those that don't know all the adopted children get their picture taken on this couch at the White Swan Hotel.

This is Rebecca and she loves her sunglasses.
Rebecca with her Mom and Dad. This is for all the AFCC, since you have been waiting so long to see this sweet little girl.

This is a picture with all the children that were in our group. This was taken when most of them were waking up from their naps.

We are packing our suitcases and yes we had to buy a new one. Tommorrow evening we will start our journey back home to Athens, Alabama. Wow, you just don't know how much we miss home. Well some of you do. It has been a long journey waiting to get our daughter and now this part is coming to a close. We are excited to begin our new journey with our daughter and two sons. Brooklynn is adjusting very well and every day we see more of her personality. She loves to play and eat! This will probably be our last post until we get home. We can't wait to see everybody on Wednesday!!!

Pictures of Brooklynn and the Temple in Taiyuan

Hello from Guangzhou!

Well we made it to Guangzhou yesterday early evening and by the time we ate we were exhausted from travel. Brooklynn did very well on the flight over. She sat in her seat and played with some toys and looked at her favorite book.
This morning we went to get her medical exam and everything checked out fine. The doctor kept saying something about her hair and pointing to mine. It was funny. She weighs 29 pounds, which I had guessed 30. Clint went to fill out the paper work for the consulate, so now all we are doing is enjoying being with our daughter. Each day we see a little more of her personality. She is something else.
Tommorrow we get to go shopping, yeah!!! Really Guangzhou is neat our hotel is right next to the river, so when we eat breakfast we see boats going up and down. I will post pictures tommorrow when we have down time. We can't wait to see everybody! I think we will try the McDonald's tommorrow also. Both Clint and I are missing good old American food. By the way Brooklynn loves french fries!!!

Brooklynn's Day at the Park

She loves to be tickled. She has a beautiful laugh!

Playing with my toys before we go to the park.

This was in the Garden area of the park.

Flowers in the Garden area.

Mama and me at the park.

Taking a rest and a photo opp with my Mama and Daddy.

We went to the park and walked around. Brooklynn got some new shoes and seemed to be happy about them. She started bouncing up and down in them. The other shoes they had on her were to big, so it made it hard for her to walk. The park was beautiful and had so many different things to look at. Brooklynn enjoyed looking around. She held Clint's hand for the first time today. Alot of the Chinese people think that I am Chinese and will start talking to me. One man said that Brooklynn looked like me so much that is why he thought I was Chinese. Of course our guide had to translate. Even our guide has said how much Brooklynn looks like me and keeps saying that is your baby. Today we will take it easy and wait for our paper work to be dropped off. We will leave Taiyuan tommorrow to go to Guangzhou for the remaining of our time in China.
