Ethan's Senior Pictures (October 13, 2007)| Our little boy is all grown up! I never realized what a handsome young man he has become until he started his "photo shoot" today. We are very proud of these pictures, and Ethan seems to like them, too -- especially the ones with his bass guitar! |

Final Pictures (August 10, 2004)| Here are some pictures from around the hotel. Also, some pics of the people we have travelled with. I'm not putting descriptions on, basically because we are very tired! And because Maddy needs to have a bottle and go to sleep, which she won't do if I am working on the laptop. We'll talk to you all when we get home! Signing off.... |

Folk Art Museum (August 8, 2004)| Today we went to the Folk Art Museum. It was outdoors, so we didn't stay very long as it is pretty hot and miserable, especially for the babies. |

2nd Day (August 2, 2004)| Today we went back to Civil Affairs to complete paperwork and vow to love her and take care of her, never abusing or abandoning her. And to give her a good education. Then we went to the police station to get her passport paperwork done. We also received her adoption decree, and she is officially ours as far as China is concerned. |
