Max had a great night last night. He clocked 11 1/2 hours of sleep. We slept in and took our time getting ready this morning. We knew when we got down for breakfast our little man wasn't feeling great yet and wasn't interested in eating anything. The poor things still has a very runny nose and a cough. His eyes just don't have that same sparkle back yet.
Today was one of those "taking care of business" kind of days. Our agency was taking our paperwork to the Consulate this morning so one of us needed to stay in the room in case they called that their was a problem. We were thankful we didn't get a call. I decided to take Max out on a walk on the island and did some window shopping before our day of shopping tomorrow. Max loves being the carrier and fell asleep before we were out of the hotel. He had a good 2 hour nap on our shopping trip. I told Eric he knows where to find me when we get home .... the mall!
We walked down to a little Deli to grab some take out lunch. Max loves his noodles!
Even though he felt crummy there is always smiles when daddy plays with him!
This afternoon we stood with our right hands raised in the US Consulate in Guangzhou, China (no photos allowed). Along with thirty other families, we swore that all of our adoption paperwork is true. We signed some papers and now we wait for two days for Max's Visa to be issued.
This is what Max looked like and felt like this afternoon when we got back.
Tonight we were signed up with some of the other families in our travel group to go on a dinner cruise on the Pearl River. We debated about backing out due to Max's mood but decided to just go for it. He actually was wonderful the whole evening. We had Papa John's pizza delivered to the dock before the boat took off.
The lights and the view were amazing. There were a lot of things lit up for the Asian Games.
We had a fun evening out on the water.
Hoping our little man is feeling better tomorrow and back to his smiley little self.

Hi Julie!
I just have to comment... I have been following your blog all week. A friend of mine passed your blog on.. First of all CONGRATULATIONS!!! Max is absolutely precious! Your post on your SWI visit touched me beyond measure. What a heart changing day. Yet, what a gift for all of you! Our family just locked the file of a little girl who is 2.5 living in an orphanage. While we have adopted twice before, both of our girls were in foster care. So, your post was especially meaningful to me. Thank you for sharing your story, Max's story. You have given me very specific things to pray about!
I will be praying for your little guy to feel better soon. Especially before you travel home! Blessings to you as you complete this amazing part of your journey! He is absolutely a precious gift!

Oh your coming home is getting so close I can almost hear your voice on my voice mail or see your name on my texts! Looking so forward to seeing you and meeting Max, even if it is just a wave through the window until things are settled in your world. Praying Max will feel completely well for his journey home to meet his very excited Sisters and Brother!
