Our girls posed for the traditional "Red Couch" photo and as you can see, our little Chongqing princess is pitching a royal fit! She is the one in red on the front row. She looked sooo cute in her traditional silk outfit. The skirt is like a crenlin. Absolutely gorgeous our spicy girl is!! (Chongqing girls are called spicy girls for their feisty attitudes and the fact that it's one of 4 provinces known throughout China for it's spicy food!.... Ask Ed, he numbed his tongue when we did traditional hot pot while in Chongqing!!).
It's been a wonderful trip and Gracie is a joy! We are learning more and more about her every day. Tonight one of the shop clerks took time to translate over 20 pages of information that the orphanage provided to us on the scrapbook pages I mentioned in the post regarding the day we received Gracie. This in itself is a priceless gift!!!
This is our last post from China... we have a 4:30 am wake-up call (that's 4:30pm Friday for you East Coast folks) and we are in the air by 9am! We will be in Orlando late tomorrow (Saturday) afternoon. Gracie will become a US citizen once we land in MN.
I will post more pictures and info about today once we are back home. Right now we need to pack up the laptop!
Thanks to everyone who sent encouraging e-mails and comments. They mean more than you can imagine! See you in the states!!
With love,
Ed, Lisa, Josh and Gracie
