It is Official!!!! Another Gehrke added to the clan!!!!

Well we signed the papers and it is official. Poor Madelynn had to put her footprint on it as a sign of her signature. We had the guide take us to a shoe store because Madelynn's crocs were way to big. Aunt Carol--We need some smaller crocs!!!!!!!!!!!!!
After all the paperwork was done, we went our for a Chinese meal. The restaraunt did not have an English menu so we pretty much had to eat what they brought us. We had cooked cabbage, a pork noodle dish, congee and some sort of chicken dish which included two chicken feet and a head. The literally must take a meat cleaver and just chop the heck out of the meat. I am not sure what happens to the large pieces of meat----like the breast but we have not seen any thing like that since we got here.

We went back to the hotel and took a nap and then went and paid 20.00 dollars for 2 tiny cups of ice cream. We won't be doing that again :) After our nap we went swimming. Fortunately we did not have the camera on hand. All the girls were required to wear swim caps. Oh yes!!! It was quite the sight. Kaylee could not understand why we had to wear them. Madelynn was completely put out by it and I could not stop laughing. Kaylee enjoyed the swim but I cant say the same for Madelynn.

She likes to keep her shoes on in anticipation of going back to her foster home. Everywhere we go she very seriously scans the crowd for a familiar face. I feel so bad for her. We have decided on Thursday not to take her back for the orphanage tour. I will be going with Kaylee and Mady will stay with David. It will be a rough day. She will go to David but she is still afraid of him. We know it will get better with time. Dave is such a trooper and I am so proud of how he interacts with her. He is such a great Daddy. I will post the pictures after dinner.
