Consulate Day!

Today was our consulate appointment day! Today was the day we went to the US Consulate's Office (where all the Ch*na side of paperwork has been sent and processed) and took an oath that everything was true and correct.  We then met with an officer and she reviewed our paperwork and approved Shawn Xinyu Smith for a Visa to travel to America! This is important because he will be entering the country as an immigrant, but as soon as we land on American soil (this will be Atlanta) he becomes an American citizen.  

We've spent the past two days hanging out at the hotel and watching Bella and Shawn play together.  He smiles as soon as he sees her and she thinks he's funny.  It's wonderful watching Big Sister and Little Brother learn to love each other.  

More playground fun...

Our "almost" American Citizen with his big sister (who has been there, done that)...

Woo-hoo!!! Getting closer!!!

 Trying to start a celebratory wave with Caitlyn...
Dressed up for photos.  I promise, this was the best I could do....
