goodbye nanning

oh nanning.

a full day

We enjoyed the first part of our morning at a nearby park; grass, a ropes course 

(much needed adventure time) and goldfish pond. 

The lobby of the 9th floor has become our new playroom. Incidentally, we also discovered this floor is housing several officers of China's Communist Party for a conference. 

Walmart and McDonalds. 

Two places I try to avoid at all costs in America. 

Well... we are not in America. 

We love this sweet girl! 

the big day of paperwork

Anna Grace Bowen Dean

Anxiously waiting... watching the clock till 3:00pm.

The moment we have been anticipating for 5 years... surreal! 

Joy. 

Her first smile... as we left the hotel for dinner. 

A quiet neighborhood stroll in Nanning. 

 Two happy brothers. 

Another happy brother and a really grateful Daddy. 

All tucked in. 

circa 1968

Walking down a short side street, we found a small door that opened to 3 chairs. 

A traditional barber shop had been open there since 1968. 

Of course the boys needed haircuts. Very nice people. 

Hilarious moment.
