Yes, we are still alive

Well, it's been a crazy two days. Yesterday we completed the adoption processing and everything in Fuzhou is official! It was a lot of driving around in the van, and then a lot of paying officials money.

Lucy did fairly well through the morning, but was ready for a nap when we got back to the room. In the afternoon we went shopping for a few outfits for Lucy, since she is too small for anything I brought. My guess is that she'll be in 12-18 month clothes once we get home. Also picked up some snacks and water, so we'll be set for the next few days.

Today (Tuesday) we drove the 3 hours to Xiamen, where Lucy's orphanage is. It was a beautiful drive, but both Lucy and I took a nap for part of the trip. We went out for lunch, and then to our hotel. Lucy is running a low-grade fever, so motrin time, and then naps. We have played it low-key this afternoon, just resting, and she went to bed at 8p as normal.

Tomorrow is the 4th of July - so we'll have a celebration, and also visit Lucy's orphanage. More to write then!
