Hi Everybody, it's me, Lily Beth!
I'm sooooo excited to be traveling to my new home tomorrow. Mommy and Daddy have tried so hard to make me comfortable throughout the changes in the past few days. It's going to be another big adjustment when I get back, but I know my parents will do everything they can to help me through it.
We had fun today, our last full day in China. This morning, we went to the US Consulate. They shuffled a bunch of papers around and made Mom & Dad swear that everything they told them was true. Then they gave us papers to get me in to the United States. After that, we took pictures at the hotel with Royce and his family - the people we've been traveling with. Then Mommy, Daddy and I went to find the store where Daddy bought me clothes yesterday. We found it and Mommy had fun buying even more clothes for me. WOW! Life is GOOD!
This is me and my new friend Royce Obnamia. He's already on his way home to California with his family.
Here's a picture of our two families. They are such nice people and we all had a great time together. I hope we get to see them again sometime!
Guess who!
Here we are buying me clothes. These nice girls helped Mommy pick out some neat stuff for me. They said I am REAL cute - hee hee!
Later, we all went out for dinner to a Thai restaurant. It was good and we all ate a lot. Then we came back to the hotel and packed. It was boring. Mommy and Daddy kept walking around and around the room putting all of our things in big things they called suitcases. I had nothing to do, so I found a roll of toilet paper and shredded it. Now THAT was fun! Afterwards, Mommy gave me a bath and now it's time for bed. We have a long day tomorrow, and we won't be able to send any more messages until we get home. But thanks very, very, VERY much for visiting my website and keeping up on this adventure. I hope I get to meet every one of you before too long! So, for Mommy and Daddy, I'll say good night and God Bless you all.
Love,
Lily Beth
