Well, our trip is starting to wind down. Tomorrow is our last full day in China. Today we took our "Red Couch" photos which are a White Swan tradition. Click on the picture of us to see more photos of just the babies and our whole group.
We also went to the Pearl Market today. Jeff and I picked out pearls that were made into a pendant and matching earrings for Lizzie's sixteenth birthday. My birthday present from my parents when I turned sixteen was a pearl on a gold chain and I wanted to carry on the tradition. We did some more shopping this afternoon and ended the evening with a Cantonese dinner with the Druckman clan, the Bakers, and the Larks. It will be hard to leave our new friends and Lizzie's first "friends", but we are so anxious to get home to our boys. We have talked to them two mornings in a row as the homesickness is kicking in hard. Cooper and Nate we can't wait to see you! We love you.
We hope you all enjoy the pictures. Jeff and I can't tell you what the many blog comments and emails have meant to us. We have really enjoyed our trip. It was an amazing trip of a lifetime, and we have treasured the time in Lizzie's country. But it is so far from home and to have so many family members and friends reach out to us every day made us feel so special! It really pulled us through. Thank you! Goodnight!

That picture is the best so far!! Lizzie has a great smile!
Being able to watch your trip has brought back somany memories.i looked back at our pictures when we met Suzanne. It was four years ago exactly that we returned home with our new daughter. Have a safe trip and I know that Cooper & Nate will have a blast with Lizzie.
Safe travels all!!

Oh I just LOVE your red couch photos. The babies all look so cute in their fancy clothes sitting there next to each other. Just makes you grin, doesn't it?
Have a good last day. Sending big hugs from rainy CA.
What a beautiful, happy baby. Congratulations and much happiness.

It has been a fun ride following you all in China. We're saying prayers for your safe and stress free return travel home.
Rhonda and Jeff,
Enjoy the remainder of your time in China. We have been offline due to some computer gremlins and I have been giddy with anticipation at the thought of reading about your last couple of days--It does not get much more adorable than the photo of all those gorgeous divas on the red couch! Lizzie is most fashionable in her lovely blue dress. What an absolute cutie pie!!!! Cannot wait to see you guys and meet her. We hope you have a smooth return trip. Know you are always in our prayers.
Love you all,
Eddy, Nat and Charlie
