Sadie's birthday

We are on our way to a group photo on the infamous red couch at the White Swan hotel and then it's a birthday celebration for our Sadie. She is wearing red shoes, lovely purple Chinese clothes and a clean diaper. She's set. It's hard to believe that we have only had Sadie less than eight days. Simply amazing. She is curious and finds interest in the fluff on the floor to the lights on the elevator. She is teething now and her cold is still with us all.

The heat outside the hotel is intense, like wading through cotton soaked in soup. The hotel is on an island and boats and people pass by thoughout the day. We explore the streets outside the hotel for as long as Sadie and us can take it. With a teething biscuit in hand, she can go far longer than Greg or I.

Our paperwork is in the U.S. Embassy, tomorrow we go to our swearing ceremony where we promise to love and educate our tub of love monkey, Sadie. Then we start the trek home at 6 a.m. on Wednesday. Not even Sadie is awake at that hour.

We are off to party!

Love,
Jackie
