Today is Tuesday, December 15th. What a stressful day. We left Nanchang to come to Guanghou three days early so we could go to the us embassy to get sherri a new passport. No one knew if they would let us fly out of Nanchang without a real passport for Sherri, even if we had a police report and a copy of her passport. We didn't sleep all night and didn't eat. When we got to the airport we were on pins and needles. Our guide Helen was a great help. She talked to the guard at the gate and explained everything. They looked everything over for a few minutes, which seemed like hours, and then let us through. If they wouldn't have let us on an airplane we were told we would have to take a train to Guanghou which would take a day... HORRIBLE THOUGHT...Once we arrived in Guanghou we went to our hotel and then directly to the embassy. We sat there for 3 hours but were able to get Sherri a new temporary passport. Tomorrow we have to go get her a new China exit visa. On an Emma note, she is doing better and better every day. She has the sweetest smile and big brown eyes that you just fall in love with. She is getting more of a personality and really warming up to us. She does have a bit of a temper, she should fit in just fine with the rest of us. She already is a momma's girl and will cry when Sherri is not around. Here are a few pictures. We will try to get more as we are hoping for a much more relaxed week... there is always hope. Kim, Sherri, and Emma
