Zai jian, Nanchang.

We are finished with our week in Caylie's province of Jiangxi, and will be leaving the city of Nanchang in a couple of hours.  Our guide, Shirley, is picking up Caylie's passport this morning and we'll be our way to the airport shortly after that.  We'll be traveling with the the Wong family, who are also here with our agency.  They have adopted 8 children from China and we're so glad they've been with us through our first adoption journey.  

This next week will be in in Guangzhou in the province of Guangdong, where the American consulate is.  Caylie will have a medical check and we will apply for her Visa.  And we hear it is even hotter there than it is here.  Yeesh. . .  

Here are a few random photos before we go:

Putting on chapstick before bed.  She looooves chapstick!

 This is the photo that was taken at the Civil Affairs Office where we finalized the adoption.  

This is a sign in our bathroom.


And this is the potty that Caylie has used all week.  As you can see, it has a head and handles.  I kept thinking that it was so weird to make a potty like that, since the child has to take off their pants to sit properly on it!  Then I realized - it's a potty for children wearing split pants!!  Aha.  LOL

Oh, and speaking of that . . poor girl is wearing size 4T panties that are seriously huge on her.  I tried to find some smaller ones at two different stores, but they just don't have them.  Then another realization came - children with size 2T tushies in China don't wear underwear, because they're wearing split pants!  My poor punkin.  Haha.



Keelan and Caylie modeling her glasses.  As you can see, she's already broken one pair and Baba had to buy another.


Our humongo bed.  The biggest bed I've ever seen, and also the hardest.  I'm pretty sure it's just a sheet over a wooden plank.


Our room.  Keelan and Justin have another room next door.  They wouldn't let us put everyone in the same room, although I'm sure we could have all fit in this bed!


New glasses.


Goodbye, Nanchang!
