Final Days

Today we took the oath of citizenship for Abby.  So when we touch down in New Jersey on Friday-Abby is automatically a naturalized US citizen.  Yeah!  The journey is finished except for that small little plane flight to the US and then onto Dallas.  (We are so missing Mexican food-even Taco Bell sounds good now!)

Tonight we had a great going away party for the three Gladney couples who have been in China for the last several weeks (seems like months).  Since the party was in one of the other family's room, I suggested a slumber party.  The idea almost went over.  Anyway, it was sad saying good bye but it means home is right around the corner!

Pray Requests
1) Safe train ride then flights home
2) All transfers be made
3) Smooth sailing thru the immigration line at Newark
4) Patience for Mom and Dad

Here are several photos from our trip to the zoo and then the party tonight.
