Lazy Day/Consulate Appointment-Part II


Finally got a picture with most of the Welborne family from Burlington. They live about 20 minutes from us. Brian stayed back with Emerson who wasn't feeling well. Last but not least is a kiss from my little man! Oh, how sweet!!!!!! How I love him. I am truly blessed. Love to you all. Thanks for your prayers. We'll see you very soon now! One more day here and then we're on the long journey home. If we're incoherent at the airport please understand. It was well worth the journey!

Lazy Day/Consulate Appointment





Today was a fairly lazy day. We slept in until 7am and then went up to breakfast. After that we had to hang around in the room from 9:30-11:30 while Rosa and Maggie were at the consulate with our paperwork just in case there were questions. They called about 11 and said we were free to leave the room. Yeah!!!!! Andrew was in the middle of his nap so we waited for him to wake up and fed him so oatmeal and off we went to explore. First stop was Starbuck's and then we walked around the little mall there and stopped at the 7-11 for water. Andrew loves to look all around at all the sites. Came back to the room and he took another nap and we got a few prunes down him. He actually ate them! His mom doesn't even like them. We met in the lobby at 5:30 to go the the Banana Leaf Thai restaurant for a group dinner minus a few people who were under the weather or don't care for Thai. Was also a 11th birthday celebration for Kailee Teague. We even had bday cake. The wait staff also sang and danced for a show. I even got up and danced with them! It was fun and I loved the Thai. Kevin was so so about it. You know him. Give him red meat and potatoes! 
Picture 3 is of the Hina's (Amy, Dave, Kalie and Jocelyn from California). Picture 4 is of the Boughton's (Randy, Laurie and Joshua from Virginia Beach).Next you see Denise with Maggie and Denise's traveling friend, Kristy. On the way back to the hotel we went by a Chinese tea shoppe and sampled some tea. We're currently laughing at Andrew walking around in his footie pjs that are too long for him. Will put a picture in later, maybe tomorrow. Tomorrow at 3pm we go to the consulate to swear an oath to care for Andrew and to get his Visa. Started packing our things this afternoon. Gotta make sure everything fits! Stay tuned for more pics.
