Hi, We had a free day today. Took a taxi to a huge shopping mecca of toys, and other things. Frankie got 1 toy there. We didn't go on the scheduled safari-too hot and already saw pandas in Fuzhou. We went out to dinner with our friends from Coatsville, PA and Ava ate almost an entire serving of steamed broccoli. The White Swan has a playroom with Matel toys in it and Ava loves it. She was running around, jumping, throwing and kicking balls and just having a great time. Each day it's getting easier. Ava's picked up "hi" and "goodbye" and understands more English every day. We're still calling her Zhu Ying along with Ava and using Chinese along with English to communicate and it's working fairly well right now. Tomorrow we will travel to the Embassy and have a swearing in ceremony. Then, Thursday, Ava's visa to America should arrive which means we have the green light to go home. We left 2 weeks ago tomorrow and we're a little tired of living in suitcases at this point. Don't get me wrong, it's not like we're "ruffing it" but we just miss our house. It makes me think that Ava might feel similarly for awhile after we return home. I still can't believe I have a new daughter. It's been an incredible experience. I love this new little person so very much. I can't wait for you to meet her too!! Love you, Kathy

We can't wait to meet her either!
