Today was our first day with no planned activities. We enjoyed the total freedom of the schedule-free day. Looking back over our day we all realize we don't know what we did to pass the whole day. In our defense, we did have to stay in our room for a period of time to make sure the U.S. Consulate had no questions on our visa application for Grace (our CHI coordinator, Elsie, served as our courier and delivered our application to the consulate today). Luckily, we received no phone calls, so I guess our application is okay. Keep your fingers crossed that nothing happens between today and tomorrow afternoon when we do the swearing in (that will ensure Grace receives full citizenship when we land in New York on Friday).
The only other thing we did today was to go back to the swimming pool. Grace was just as excited as the other day. In fact when we got to the pool she started ripping off her clothes to get in the pool. It took a little while to convince her that she needed to keep her suit on to get into the pool. I think she was confusing it with a giant bathtub. She gradually became more and more brave as we spent time in the pool. Much too brave for Mommy and Daddy's taste. She started jumping in from the side, and then started trying to climb into the big pool all by herself. We need to add a gate around our pool at home for sure.
We had a photo session in the hotel room tonight with Katrina and Grace. The pictures came out so cute. They were wearing their Mei Mei (little sister) and Jie Jie (big sister) t-shirts. Clarissa and Tori, we wish you were in the picture with them wearing Jie Jie t-shirts. Enjoy the pictures:

It seems the last couple of days that I have had 2 blogs each day so I will only comment on the one. I can't say I blame Tiffany Grace for reacting the way she did for her checkup after all she has gone through. No one especially a child likes to be proded and poked and made to be still, especially someone as active as Tiffany Grace is. I have truly enjoyed being a part of this wonderful experience of Tiffany Grace at last being able to join our family, I am so looking forward to meeting her in person and being able to love on her, if she allows. I am also looking forward to stealing some more of Katrina's hugs and kisses. The girls both look so good in red, it is definitely one of their colors. I still haven't heard from Jack yet but will let you know as soon as I do. Well you only have a couple of days left, I am sure you can't wait to get home, that is if you have power. I can't wait to hear what adventures you will have in the next two days. Love you guys.

We love the 3 pictures of Jie Jie & Mei Mei. Grace & Katrina are absolutely gorgeous!:) We are so happy for Grace & your family as we read the wonderful updates daily. The picture of Grace with 3 bottles is really funny! Yesterday was milk & orange juice & today, we see her with 3 bottles. Will there be 4 bottles tomorrow?!!!(Chuckle!)
Wishing your family another wonderful blessed day tomorrow.
Lots of Love,
Gwyneth, Wai How & Clarissa
