We returned to the White Swan and all got together in the play room to complete the paperwork for our consular visit... at least, that's what AJ did once we found the room, since it seemed to keep moving as we searched for it. What yours truly did was try to deal with Little Miss Dontputmedown, who eventually tired herself out and fell asleep laying on my tummy. [Original post & photos here.] With the major milestone of consular paperwork completed, we walked to a nearby restaurant for a unique lunch experience, then returned to the hotel for an extended afternoon session of catching up to ourselves while dealing with a crochety, clingy, unhappy Pipsqueak. Eventually we settled in for the night, hoping Miri was just having a bad day... and nervous about whether or not the U.S. Consulate would approve the paperwork the next day.
One year ago today... well, there really wasn't anything terribly special that day, which is a milestone of a kind: life with Miri was our "normal" and some of the edges were beginning to wear off the memories of our time in China. I was still trying to figure out how to put together an adoption video, and discovered that the last few blank recordable DVDs at the bottom of the spindle were only good for making drink coasters when I tried copying photos of the trip onto them.
