Visa Appointment Day!!

We had Megan's visa appointment this morning at the US Consulate. It was a pretty straightforward process. We had to give an oath on behalf of Megan that all of the documentation and information was accurate and true. Then we had a one on one "interview" with a consulate employee who pretty reviews all of our documents necessary to immigrate the little one out of China into the good ole US of A! Everything was in order and he said there is a 99% chance that we'll get her visa tomorrow (Tuesday) by 3:00pm. We are hoping that we don't fall into the 1% category because we have an 8:00am flight on Wednesday and it would be a very bad situation if we were delayed. We are so ready to be home! When we arrive into Detroit and go through immigration, once they approve her paperwork, she will officially be a US citizen! Yay!!

The rest of the day was very low key again. The weather was dreary and it rained/misted most of the day. That made it too chilly to go swimming and no fun to go check out the park. We did take a walk and looked through a few shops. We had snacks for lunch and ate at McDonalds again. We really weren't feeling too daring to go out on our own to find something else. At this stage in the journey, we're playing it pretty conservative as far as food goes.

Miss Megan loves her new "squeaker" shoes and stomped all over the hotel room to make them squeak. She's so darn adorable! She's starting to understand her manners, too. When she wants something, instead of pointing and grunting, we make her point, grunt, then say please. Of course it comes out as "PLAHHH!" in quite an angry, impatient way, but hey, she's a work in progress. :)

We're hoping tomorrow is our final full day in China and we begin the journey home!
