Happy Father's Day! Our Sunday in China!



Started the day off with Jailyn giving her new daddy a T-shirt that says Father in Chinese for Father's Day. She loved the paper in the gift bag. Jailyn has a T-shirt that says Made in China too. We went to the White Swan hotel with another family from South Carolina who is with our agency to take pictures on the red couch and in the lobby area. Then we shopped to get Jailyn her Chinese silk PJ's for her future Chinese New Year celebrations, took her morning nap and then off to the Pearl Market and shopping district. We got her a pearl necklace to give to her in the future for a special occasion like graduation, prom or her wedding. It was neat to walk into town and see how the locals live and shop. It is totally different than Nanchang (not crazy) pretty normal just lots 1000's of chinese people shopping on a Sunday afternoon. Thank goodness. It is nice here however so ready to come home. Jailyn has been a little trooper and really teething. She is so fussy at bedtime and tonight she was so tired and teething (drooling like crazy) we opted to forgo the bath and give her a bottle and tylenol and in bed after lots of crying. She is so good and we believe she is overstimulated with all the new things and has a hard time winding down and bedtime has been so different than her past 11 months and been in two different hotels. Can't wait for bedtime on the plane ride. Start praying now for us. Tomorrow is an easy day and then Tuesday is an early morning appt at the consulate to get her visa to travel home. We did all the paperwork today with our guide. Every day is one more day closer to coming home. Had a great day in China for Father's day and only wish Katie, Scott and Billy could have shared our day with us. See our pictures from our adventures today.

Happy Father's Day from China to Dad C, Dad T, Bob and to all our friends and relatives that are Dad's! You make the world a better place by being a Dad!
