Today marks the halfway point of our adoption trip. We don't really have any adoption things left to do, and we are very ready to be home. We like Chongqing, but we love Amarillo! We have a very "high end" mall attached to our hotel. The stores are expensive, but it has a movie theater, an ice skating rink, bowling alley, and great restaurants. We have spent a lot of time there. We actually went to Spiderman 3 a second time today just because we are running out of things to do.
Mason had his first injury with us this afternoon. He fell and banged his head on a door frame and has a bump on the side of his head. He also hit the back of his head on a marble handrail in the elevator and has another "goose egg" there! We are going to have to change his name to "bumpy head."
He continues to amaze us with how well he has adjusted to his new life. He has the cutest personality! I am still having difficulty taking good pictures of him because he is always on the move. I literally have 50 - 60 pictures of the back of his head!
Our son, Michael, is now at home to help Missy with the little girls. I know Missy is glad to have his help. Randy's parents have also been so sweet about playing with the girls everyday and giving Missy some well-needed rest. It is getting harder every day for us to be away from all of our children. One more week!!!
Tomorrow night we are taking a short river cruise and eating the famous Chongqing "hot pot." (And, no, we really don't have a clue what that is!) We will then leave early Monday morning for Guangzhou. Our consulate appointment is on the 17th, and we begin the long flight home on the 18th. We arrive in Amarillo at 8:00 in the morning on the 19th! Mason will be an American citizen the minute we land in Los Angeles. I hope America has rested up and is ready for him!
