All Giggles

Well, the good news is that Hannah is all smiles. She loves playing with
her toys, and she laughs all the time at whatever silliness we give her
(in the picture in the stroller she is laughing because I am blowing on
her forehead!). The even better news is what a trooper she is. Chris and
I are both sick...sick enough that we are on our second day of just
relaxing/sleeping in the room, and so thankful that we packed a full
course of antibiotics for each of us. It hasn't fazed Hannah at all that
only one of us has been playing with her/taking care of her at any time
so that the other can nap. In fact, she took two two-hour naps for us
yesterday which we both slept soundly during as well. Right now she is
very focused on playing with Mortimer Moose - they seem to be having a
wonderful time. :) Hopefully we're on the upswing so that we can see a
little more of Kunming over the weekend.

For those that have asked - we are in Kunming until Monday. We should
get Hannah's Chinese passport this afternoon, and we are here through
the weekend because of a Chinese holiday (Tomb Sweeping Day). On Monday
we fly to Guangzhou, where the US Consulate is located. There she will
have a medical exam, our appointment at the US Consulate, and complete
all of the paperwork needed to bring her home and make her a US Citizen.
We fly out of Guangzhou to Beijing on the morning of April 10, and fly
from Beijing to DC that evening. Our flight to Dulles is direct, and
with the time changes and trip back over the International Date Line it
will still be April 10 when we land that evening. Hopefully we will all
sleep on the plane!

Much love to everyone - we are very very ready to be home!
