Back in Hong Kong- almost home

We are back in Hong Kong- it was almost nice checking into the hotel we stayed before going to Nanning- a partial home coming. The weather here today is very nice- a cool breeze that is a relief from the unbelievable heat we had been having. We just had McDonalds- again! Davis has now had McDonalds's three times- and Sarah Bess has yet to have a fast food burger. We told Davis that we will soon introduce him to some better fast food- Chick Fil A! The variety of food we have had has been really good, but it's nice just to do something easy also. We ate at a great Italian and Thai place in Guangzhou.
The past couple of days have really just been killing time and waiting for paperwork to go through. We went to the US Consulate yesterday to swear in. The Consulate has moved from Shaiman Island and from stories I've heard from others- the new place while almost an hour a way is a big air conditioned improvement!
Saying goodbye to our group was bitter sweet. While thrilled to get home, we couldn't have found two better families to spend the last two weeks with. The children have grown to love each other and think of each other as a big family. I know they will miss each other as we all go to our various parts of the country.
Davis continues to have better and better days. We are now seeing some frequent temper tantrums that have more to do with being two than with the situation here. However, he usually quickly regroups and is learning more about Mama and Baba's rules. He does really well on the short little flights- so keep your fingers crossed for tomorrow.
This blog has helped us more than you can imagine- there is no way to explain what the comments from home have meant to us. We are so blessed with many wonderful friends and family. We love you all. We are counting down the hours to getting home. We can't wait to get our arms around Sarah Bess and introduce Davis to his Mei Mei.
Love, Hannah and Jimmy
