RED COUCH PHOTO DAY.






Today we took the infamous "red couch photos". It was quite the experience given there were nine babies that we were all trying to get to smile. Ha, ha. Alexa seem to a real crier today during this event. You will be able to tell during our group photos. She was not a happy camper. Oh well. We did get some good family photos together before the chaos started and after it was finished.

All of our papers were delivered today to the US consulate for review and everything came back excellent. Our last step here in China is to take the "oath". This is us just saying that we will love the girls and never will hurt them. Just another formality per China. It is tomorrow afternoon. Whew!! We are sssssoooooo close now.

Alexa discovered this evening after dinner that she really likes ice cream. Mommy had oreo cookie and Daddy had chocolate. The chocolate was very messy. You will see by the photos, I promise.

Alexa also had another big moment today. I was changing her diaper this morning on Daddy's bed. (we have two twin beds here at this hotel) I had just got it off and got her all cleaned up. I turned around to get another diaper and I looked down. She was peeing all over the place. Daddy didn't think it was real funny this morning, but we can laugh about it now. Ha, ha, ha.

Well, we are very tired again tonight. Alexa got up pretty early this morning and it was another busy day here today. Tomorrow is our last full day here in China. I think everyone is so excited to get home with our little blessings and begin our new lives together as families. It will be so nice not living out of a suitcase. Until tomorrow. Love ya, Lisa, Bob, and Alexa.

The picture of Alexa sleeping on the bed is adorable. She look precious. I love her pink chinese dress. I can't wait to see updated posts of Aleia playing with Alexa. What an amazing journey.

Have a safe trip home!
