A picture just for Aunt Andy and Last blog from China!

Andrea bought these shirts for the girls so I had to take a picture and put it on here!!

This is the last blog from us from China! I can't say how much I apprecite Lana posting all of these! I am so sorry I was such a pain, but it meant alot that you could do this for us!!

Tomorrow we will finish shopping and then pack. We have to be in the lobby of the hotel at 5:45 ready to load on the bus and head to the airport. We have an almost 3 hour flight to Shanghai where CHarlene and her husband Mike will have their drivers pick us up! Not sure if we will go directly to the hotel or directly to Shanghai Healing HOme! I can't tell you how excited we are that we get to go see the people that have raised Zoey since she was 10 days old!! I can't wait to meet them and see all the babies AND the beautiful home she's been in since July (because they moved!) I won't be able to blog, I don't think, so there will be no more pics. I will post the SHH pics as soon as my body lets me after we get home!!!

PLEASE remember to pray for us! We have 3 more plane rides and one of the will be 12 hours. Zoey DOES NOT like being confined so it will be interesting.! Trying the Benadryl tomorrow night!!! :) But really! I do NOT like flying that much and that's a long flight with 2 little ones, so all of your prayers will be greatly apprecited! We just want to get home to our boys, family and friends so that all can meet Zoey and we can proceed with our lives as a family of 7!

Thank you to all who have been following and I hope I have done a good enough job for you! It's been amazing and I am so glad that the Langley's were able to come! I think they have done amazing and I am pretty sure they've had a good time. It's been long, tiring and sometimes rough, but we have really enjoyed them being here to witness this adoption! They have taken pictures, video and helped anytime we needed them! I know this is a memory they will cherish forever and we will, too! Thanks Nana and Papaw!!!

I also want to say THANK YOU to all who left comments and sent me personal messages! I have THOROUGHLY enjoyed reading them! And to those who kept up through email..love you all too!! I love my friends and family! You are all the best!!!

HAPPY REFORMATION DAY! I mean HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!! :)

Well, today was our Consulate Appointment! We are officially DONE with all the paperwork associated with this adoption and all is LEGAL and FINISHED!! As soon as we step into the Detroit airport on Thursday, Zoey Fei-Li Langley will be an American citizen!!! WOOHOO and PRAISE THE LORD! Our family is now complete!!! NO JOKE!!! We are D-O-N-E!!! And I have to say that I am very proud of my family! We are very blessed and thankful to God for ALL of our children! Our house is full of laughter, crying, playing, eating, MUSIC, and mostly LOVE and GOD!!!

How we love our children! They are all precious and VERY special to us and our hearts are overflowing!!! What a priviledge to be able to have 3 amazing and handsome boys and to adopt two gorgeous and smart Chinese girls!?!?!?!? WOW!!!

THis is the outfit we wore to our appt since we thought that dressing up would be a little much! :) But we think they looked so cute! Zoey gets so excited when we take pictures and won't let us take any of Olivia by herself! YES! She hugged her all by herself and they had a grand time. I had to choose the best ones, but they are all so sweet that we took today! I can tell we will have FUN!!!!

The original 5 families

Well here are the families that met up in Beijng. All but Alexis (the little girl with the bald-headed daddy) have spent alot of time in the Shanghai Healing Home with Zoey. When these groups get together, it's so funny to see how they are. They remember eachother and play. They are so sweet!! All had cleft lip/cleft palate.

1st family-Lisa (the mom and red-headed), Libby and Aunt Chelle (Michelle) (16 mths old)

Us of course

Joe, Kristina, Vinny, Kate and Paul 9 (Vinny is 16mths old! YES!! He's that big and only 16 mths old!!)

Andrea, Alexis, Tim (Alexis has a small hole in her heart that should fix itself but she is the only one in our original 5 that didn't have cl/cp. She's 21 mths old)

Aunt Becky, Kathy (the mom), Eisley (18 mths and TINY!!! weighs 16 pds!), Aunt Loreen

We have grown to love these ppl! Amazing how adoption can bring you so close to ppl you don't even know!!!

Our China girls in China clothes!

Nana and Papaw bought the girls these beautiful outfits. Olivia HAD to have one with a tutu and she loves it! Our China girls in China clothes! BEAUTIFUL!!!

In the last picture, our guide, Kathy, says she's telling her not to put her hands in her mouth. I was trying to take a picture of her in her outfit and she walked by and started talking to her! I don't know what she was really telling her but everytime Kathy talks to her, she has this look. Kinda looks like she's getting on to her don't it?? It's just funny! BUT...she listened!!! HAHAHA

Guangzhou Sightseeing!

So we went sightseeing in Guangzhou. I can't remember the name of this place, but it was beautiful. I am sparing you the beautiful buildings and stone work, but thought you would like to see the art made out of Ivory. It's amazing to me!!!

Just pics of Zoey and Olivia!

I know that's why you all come on here..to see the girls. Well, here are a few pics! (BTW...can't post again so having my sweet, wonderful friend do it for me!!!)
