Everyone is ready to go and be home with our family and friends. I think Lauren will do just fine with the crazy family she just entered. I feel a little sadness leaving China. We have been here for 2 weeks and we have been treated very nicely. Yes, we get lots of stares when we are out, but mostly out of curisosity.
Plus we are leaving the only place that Lauren knows as home. She has no idea where she is going and why.
So it is a little upsetting mixed with a lot of excitement.
I know she will have many more opportunities for health and education in America and that is what mattwers most.
We did our oath and received Laurens visa - she is know legal to both leave China and enter America.
On the way to the Consulate - dont I look tired!
Matt and Lauren talking baseball - She is alrready a Chase Utley fan
My three favorite people in the world!!!!!!
On the river cruise. It was a nice ride down the Pearl river. We had the normal crazy buffet choices of pig knuckles, goose liver, and chicken feet. We did not eat alot. The sights were very nice. The whole city is lit up along the river.

She has all of us waiting to welcome her and guide her to the crazy side. Love the dresses her and her little friend have on.

So glad you are finally coming home. I hope you guys have a safe trip home. The Mundy's can't wait to meet Lauren and to see the rest of you. Chuck, Jordan just wants to hear the stories of the food you have been eating. She was cracking up at the "American Buddha" story. Your posts have been wonderful and kept us looking for updates everyday. Chuck, who knew you were such an emotional writer. Great job keeping us updated.
