A Good Day


Today was finally a good day. Meredith was like a real child. Smiling, eating, laughing and yes, still some crying. We started out with a good breakfast, some play and a meeting. Since this is our last day in Changsha we thought we'd go out and see the city. We walked out into the most oppressive heat I've ever felt. It only took a few minutes to decide to go back to the air conditioned Friendship Shop, a big department store we had gone to on Wednesday. We spent a few hours there buying more for Meredith and some gifts for back home. Then it was back to the hotel for lunch and a power nap for all three of us. Tonight we've just been getting ready to travel. Tomorrow we go to Guangzhou for the rest of the trip. We have some U.S. paperwork to get done. All the Chinese paperwork is finished. Meredith was officially ours as of 9:30 on Tuesday. We received her Chinese passport today. We'll get a U.S. passport in Guangzhou.

Meredith is so happy because she knows she has the best parents in the world. She was only testing you the first few days.
