Yesterday was the red couch so I'll post a few pictures from that. Most children adopted from China to the US come to the red couch at the White Swan Hotel to get a group picture of the kids dressed up in their Chinese clothes.  It is so cute and I've seen so many of my friends' red couch pictures. It was very special to finally be having our turn with Noelle. Unfortunately my camera died just as all the kiddos in our group were getting ready for their group shot so I didn't get it :( !

I did get a few just not the whole group. Someone will email it to me and I'll post the group shot to the blog later. But Noelle looked adorable in her outfit as you'll see. I dressed her up before her hnap so there is a cute picture of her sleeping. In the evening we went on a cruise on the Pearl River. It was nice to see the city all lit up with colorful lights and it was a lot of fun.

It is now Thursday morning here and in 48 hours we'll be flying back home. It will take us about 30 hours of travel time. Two 3 hour flights, one 15 hour flight and two 3 hour layovers. It will be a long day so while you are all enjoying your Friday nights and Saturdays please keep us in your thoughts and prayers and wish me luck! We arrive back in Tampa around midnight Saturday. We will be exhausted but so happy to see our family.

I'll post more this afternoon too but for now here are a few pictures of red couch and dinner cruise.
