Today’s the day we’ve been waiting for since November 9th!!! We finally met Mr. Kenneth Tao, and I must say HE IS ONE HANDSOME LITTLE GUY!!!
We walked to the Civil Affairs office with the other two families at 8:45 a.m. When we got to the office, we walked into the meeting room; and the babies were already there. One look (since there were just three to chose from), and we knew which one he was!
We walked over to meet him, and he came to us, and just sat and watched his sisters. It was awesome! He got down and walked, and ATE and ATE and ATE some more. He weighs in at 11.8 kilograms – Mikaela weighs 12.0!!!
We got to talk to the orphanage director, meet his nanny – who was the sweetest thing, and we filled out the vast majority of our paperwork.
We went to McDonalds for lunch (to celebrate), and he wasn’t all that impressed. He does love shrimp crackers though – just like his sisters. We walked around a little bit, and then came back for a short rest.
We met at the Kodak shop outside the hotel for our “family photos”, and then walked to the grocery store for snacks and drinks!!!
We’re in our room now, resting up for dinner. The girls have played with KT with balloons and a ball, and I think he loves it!
Yeah . . . And in Alyssa’s famous words today (right after we got K.T.), “Can we just get on the airplane and go home now?” I guess not, we’ve still got 15 nights here in China.
