Monday, August 23, 2010 - Civil Affairs

Today Russ and I got up and had breakfast. It wasn't as good as the hotel in Beijing. Ali had a few bites of egg and a bottle. After breakfast we met Louise down stairs and went across the street to the Civil Affairs office to complete some things for the Chinese side of the adoption. Gosh it was HOT in there! Once we did all that, we had to go to a Notary office and get everything certified.

Such a sweet smile.







We came back to our room and Ali took a nice nap. When she woke up we played a little and then we went and had lunch in the hotel. They said western style...but it was all Chinese! Needless to say, I am still hungry. I am going to be a trooper and not complain much about that!!! Now we are back in the room. Ali is getting spoiled! We can not even put her down! lol If we try, she cries! We both want to take a nap, but Ali has other plans for us right now. hahaha We are loving every minute of it though. That's about it for today. We are just going to take the rest of the day and rest up as much as we can. It is so hot here, and so we don't want to get Ali out in this heat if we don't have to. Russell has been putting her in front of the mirror and she loves it. She has quite the personality! She is pretty much a very happy baby. She only cries when we are changing her diaper or at bath time. That's about it for today.
Love... Lisa, Russ, & Alison
