Day Two we were back to the Civil Affairs office at 9 AM to meet with our orphanage caregivers one last time and complete all of our paperwork with Jiangsu Province to make things official. Several other American families were there besides our group of 3, and much waiting around with lots of people in a very small space. Finally finished we gave our last goodbyes and thankyous to the caregivers who were off for the long drive back to Lianyungang.
Then it was a shuttle to the store, where we had a chance to stock up on a few supplies to add to those we’ve brought with us: bottled water, baby food, rice cereal. By the time shopping was over it was mid-afternoon and all 3 kids were pretty much spent. And who could blame them. Not only had they missed their nap but the stress and fatigue of all the changes in routine and environment were finally catching up.
The rest of the day was all about managing meltdown for our very over-tired little boy back in our hotel room. So we’ve been very busy. Welcome to parenthood!

ooooh. Poor baby. But he looks very sweet.
And hey, nice jacket he's got on!
this got away before I finished. Hope everything else goes smoothly, like the paperwork at the US consulate.
Hope Timothy feels better soon.
Timothy looks more comfortable in the grey outfit. His cheeks looked pink in his red suit,never thought that he was so hot. I too would wait on the cough syrup. He can get checked out when he returns to VA. Larry wants to see a picture of Tim with his proud Dad. Hope things go well with the feeding and your exit paperwork. love Dad and Kathe
