It's Sunday late in the afternoon and I thought I'd just load a few more pictures onto the blog. It's a bit of a slow process...
We had a great day today and went out walking in the morning, then this afternoon we took a tour around by bicycle carriage and saw some more of the Old Quarter. Very busy on the streets and very noisy (everyone uses horns and bells to communicate that they have the right of way).
We're off to dinner with another one of the couples for what might be the last night of "coupledom". I just talked to the adoption coordinator and we might have the Giving and Receiving ceremony tomorrow afternoon, just waiting to hear back from the provincial officials. Otherwise it will be Tuesday morning, as we need to get all the "after" paperwork started and off the the various officials and Cdn embassy. We have been moved to our bigger room so now we can unpack and settle in, this will be our home for the next two weeks.
Love to everyone, thinking of you all,
ruthie

Congratulations. She is beautiful. Without the asian features, she would be just like your own baby.

Glad that you are able to take in some of the sights while you wait for Emily to join you. Best advice on the traffic...don't cross when you think it's the right time...cross when everyone else is crossing. Have fun soaking it all in.
