Periodically Kim and I need to consult with each other in order to remember what day it is. The fact that we are routinely calculating the current time minus 13 hours, to keep up with what the rest of the Shafer kids are doing, doesn't help.
So, today is Tuesday 11-10-2009 and we completed the paper work, finalizing the adoption, this morning. After parting ways with Maggie we got some lunch and made a return visit to Walmart to buy Futing some pajamas and, much to his delight, a toy truck.
I feel like I am finally getting the hang of Chinese currency (repeat after me: "10 Yuan is a buck fifty. 100 Yuan is 15 bucks. " Get that through your head and you'll be o.k.)
Kim is Mommy, not Mama. Jonathan is supposed to be napping but is instead happily horsing around.
Tomorrow we will take a bus to Dalian city. It is a 4.5 hour bus trip (that's better than 6!) and both Maggie and Ms. Pan will join us. Maggie is our guide. Ms. Pan works for children's services in Dalian.
It's doubtful that we'll have internet in our Dalian hotel, and it may be a chore to get it back again when we return to ShenYang. We probably won't be on-line again until we get to GuangZhou late Friday night. It will be so good to meet up with some other crazy American adopting families there!
So, we wanted to make this one quick post and share this short video.
"Bye bye" for now.

What a doll! Every morning we all rush to gather around the computer to read about the new developments with Futing. Similarly, throughout each day, we are calculating ahead 13 hours, to determine what you are doing.
ReplyDeleteNo posts until Friday! Ugh! We will survive though. And we will pray.
Kim,
