Yesterday, we spent time swimming and shopping in the earlier parts of the day. I had to be in the room from 11 to 12 am in case the consulate had any questions, but all went well...things are almost done! Today (Tuesday) we go to take the Oath and then once she steps on US soil, she is a citizen! We had Pizza Hut for dinner (Lillie isn't a fan of pizza yet)then off on a River Boat Cruise. Lillie loved looking at the water. We finished the day with a quick play session in the Mattel playroom. The countdown to our arrival home has begun...China has been great but we are ready to be home. Hope and prayers for good travels for Lillie!

I am happy you have had a great experience in China, but I am sure you are ready to get Lillie home so you can begin your life together. I am so excited and proud of you! You are in for such wonderful times with your daughter. I can't wait to meet her and to give you a hug. I am thinking of you each day, the blog is addicting!

Ditto on Emily's comments! This has been such an exciting adventure for us all! Thank you so much for sharing and involving us in this personal, awesome, life altering experience! You are always and forever a teacher at heart and now you have the sweetest daughter to guide and share life with. You are incredible and I am so glad for having had you as a friend, professional leader and role model. Lillie is one lucky girl. Happy travels and hope you have your ear plugs close by if needed. Just smile and think...this too shall pass.
Good luck during the flight...if there's lots of screaming, just close your eyes and remember that you're almost home! Can't wait to see you!
Love you,
Allie

Lillie, you get more and more beautiful each day.... you have the most wonderful, joyful smile!
I LOVE YOU!!!
I can't wait to spend time with all 3 of you, and hear all about the adventure, cause I KNOW you can't tell all here, it would take too long!
Love and prayers coming your way to get you through the plane ride HOME!!
What a time you must be having.
In Matthew 25, God commands us to "Go". I can't help but think that He is smiling because of what you are doing.
I pray that God continues to bless you for your heart for His children, and for your obedience.
Have a safe trip home,
Brad and Pat Allred
You look so so so beautiful together! I love the picture of Lillie leaning into you. You look like you belong together.
Oliver has a new brace design that's working beautifully for him. I'll email you pictures when you're ready to see them.
Have a safe, uneventful trip home!

I'm sure Pop-Pop is already
preparing some jazz music to
welcome you home to Lexington.
It's wonderful to have another
cute cousin. We look forward to meeting you, Lillie.
