Medical exam day!!!






Today was Maddie's medical exam for her visa. It was a pretty quick run through of ear, nose, & throat; height and weight and quick exam, She seemed to pass, so all is good. We ejoyed walking through the island back to the hotel. The architecture is just beautiful, you almost forget you are in China. The British inspired buildings and landscaping are a sight to behold.

We then spent the day hanging out. The girls and John tried out the swimming pool, it was too cold for Maddie. She was mad when we wouldn't let her in, we finally let her splash her toes and hands for a bit. I think she will really love the pool and lake this summer. She loves to be outside, we were walking around the grounds today and she just went crazy. She loves to jabber when we are out.

She is still not feeling great, I think she just has a little virus that seems to be going around all the babies. We are praying it will be gone before we head home.

We also filled out our visa paperwork this afternoon. It is amazing how much paperwork there is to bring a little girl into the country. Like we haven't done enough the past 5 years. This paperwork ensures that when we set down in San Francisco on Friday night she will be an American citizen, definitely worth it!

Tonight we went walking around the island looking for a fun place to eat. We ended up at the Orient Express, a great French restaurant. It was very good, we are enjoying trying the different restaurants available to us. We almost went back to the Thai restaurant, we really enjoyed that meal. The waitress's at the Orient let McKenna play their baby grand, she was so excited. She has been missing playing the piano while we have been gone,

Glad the medical went well, and it's great that she's a water baby!

I'm sure McKenna played a wonderful song. It looks as if the girls were enjoying the warm weather. Welcome back to snowy Montana! lol
