The Hardgraves sitting on the famous “Red Couch” at the White Swan Hotel.
Well, things continue to go beautifully here in Guangzhou. 90% of the time with Lily has been just smiles and giggles.
It’s been fun, but we are so ready to come home. As you can probably imagine, we’ve missed Sarah and Kathryn terribly.
Today(tuesday), we’ll be going to the U.S. Consulate to swear an oath to take proper care of Lily and after that, the formality will finally be finished . . . thank the Lord!
We’ll be starting our 26 hours (give or take) of airports traveling back to the us tommorrow, so we’ll packing and enjoying a few more precious of sanity before what is sure to be an ordeal.
We can’t wait to see everyone and can’t wait to be back in the good old United States.
Here are some more pictures we took while visting at the the White Swan


Here ‘s a shot of Lily playing with one of the local merchants. Her name was Ah-Koo-Bee and Lily loved her.

Some more pictures in the room



Lily Loves shoes!
Ok, some “food” shots

Lily’s favorite Crackers – kind of a puffed rice thing

These weren’t in the Pet department, of course, there was no pet department.

notice the flavor . . .

Believe it or not, Lily loves these . . . she’s going to have to enjoy them while she can.
these below were actually pretty good


Notice the english caption? . . . We’ve been calling these “born again” crackers. We think that they are supposed to be some sort of Chocolate flavor, but they taste awful . . . yet again, however, Lily loves them.
