We finally made it back home. We had a long extended exhausting trip home and even the 24/7 rain we had until this morning and a teenager with the flu could not dampen the fact that HOME SWEET HOME is the best place to be.

We had our Oath Ceremony on Tuesday in Guangzhou and met some of the other families at the White Swan to catch the bus to the Consulate. This time it was a bit different since we did not get the brown envelop that day but had to wait until the next day to have our guide pick it up before we leave town.
After the Oath Ceremony the whole group from our agency met at a Chinese Restaurant on the Island to have dinner and take a group picture. It was a very nice gathering and we met a few other great families. One family with another 6 year old boy who was just a bubble of energy from the province with the famous Terracotta Soldiers and another dad that had traveled for his 3 year old son who was deaf who was just the life of the party to cute and oh so determined you just wanted to scoop him up an hug him!
