The Red Couch...

In the customary tradition of the Adoption Community of China, the famous Red Couch was taken today. Last year, Sawyer did nothing but scream. Saxton on the other hand did nothing but look at us as to say, "what are you silly people doing to me now?" Well, without further ado, here is the picture:
We also got a decent family picture:

After the red couch, came the group picture:


Then we went to the Pearl Market...and came right back. Both Sawyer and Saxton had meltdowns twenty minutes after we got there. So our guide David called the van to take us back to the Hotel. Saxton went down for a nap fairly quickly after we ate lunch, but Sawyer has not wanted to take a nap this afternoon. Good thing about this is he will go down early with Daddy and get some extra needed sleep. Tomorrow is a free day for us, so we are really unsure of what we are going to do, except one of the guides we had last year, Rebecca, will be taking us out to dinner at a Cantonese Restaurant. Shelby is dying to try the snake soup.

Finally got a chance to come by your blog and see how things are going. So happy to see all is well and Saxon is making the transition to his new family.

What a wonderful family portrait.

I know both boys will appreciate all you've done to document their earlier life as they grow.

Congratulations again!

Nice photo of the four of you. Hope the snake soup lived up to its reputation! And, that the boys have had a chance to regroup. Such change ... and such brave boys.
