Our last day in China....yeah!

Goodbye Guangzhou....here we come Spokane!
Who knew this Lego toy had 37 little pieces. I don't read Chinese. Stephan was real pleased, we'll see how long it lasts.


Toys, toys & more toys. Since most toys are made here, I shouldn't be surprised at the mass amounts of them.....well I was.



Hudson & mommy at the enormous toy mall.




Happy Easter display at the White Swan. How about those gold bunnies, kind of Willy Wonkaish.

This will be my last post from China...yeah! It has been such a wonderful experience bonding & getting to know little Hudson, but we are ready to introduce him to our life in the states. Hudson & I went to the the toy mall this morning. Stephan opted out...can you believe it? Hudson did awesome! I was a little concerned how he might act in there with all the toys. He was a perfect little child. Didn't really touch anything & didn't ask for anything either. We finally settled on a little Lego guy with lots of pieces & a Transformer (his cousin Samuel loves them, so how could we go wrong?). He carried them in his own sack & couldn't wait to tear into them with Stephan once we got back to the room.
We also had our U.S. consulate appointment this afternoon everything went smooth. We raised our right hand, swore to take care of Hudson, and got his passport with his US visa. Now we have all the necessary documents to come back to the USA. It's been a wonderful trip, one we won't forget!
Can't wait to see all our friends & family at the airport! Love you & see you soon!
Loves & kisses to Ravenna!
Love the Byrd's
