Last Days

Ella has a American Visa and Jim and I wore sworn in yesterday July 5th. When she arrives in San Francisco on July 7th she will offically be an American citizen! We went up to the Yuntai Gardens on July 5th. They were the most beautiful gardens we have ever seen. Ella and I ahd our picture taken in the rose garden. Today we are packing for the flight to Beijing. Then on July 7th, we leave Beijing at 12 o'clock noon on flight 888 for San Fran.

July Fourth!!

On the Fourth of July we had Ella's travel physical and everything went well. I filled out 10 more pages for her visa in which we will go to the consulate to say the oath on behalf of Ella saying we will provide and support her in the good old U.S.A.

Visiting the Country Side

On Thursday we went to the country to see how the average Chinese people live... we aren't in Kansas  anymore. There were cement houses with cement floors with all kinds of animals roaming around. But, the kids were playing some Justin Bieber music in the radio. Later we went to lunch at a resturant with a lazy susan. Here are some pictures...
