Red Couches

For anyone who has adopted from China, you will know exactly where this picture is taken.

For those who haven't, there is a strange tradition for Americans who adopt in China that they

always have pictures of their kids taken on the red couches in the White Swan Hotel. There is nothing special about the couches. they are just a bunch of couches set up in the lobby, but

everyone has their picture taken there. We did as well.

This is Maddie, Collin and Beatrix. Collin and Beatrix had the same consulate date and Maddie was the day after. We are all CCAI families.

Collin kept falling over onto Beatrix. She kept looking at his mama and pointing down at him to say, "uh, can you get him off me."
