More Pictures

OK, so it took FOREVER for my 2 video clips to load on yesterday's post, so I'm now going to load what pictures we do have of Gotcha Day and the ones we have from the day after, when we returned to the SWI to complete Zack's adoption.  You will note that Zack is wearing Lions gear.  Got to start them out right, you know.

Zack's orphanage director filling out her part of the paperwork.  He didn't want to let her get too far away at this point. 

 Doing some red ink fingerprinting stuff.  I am not sure what we were agreeing to at this point...I think to keep him with us for 24 hours and that we had the right child. 

 Here you can glimpse the little "Yuncheng heart" Zack was wearing.  He was beebopping around the room making sure not to get too close to us. 

 Finally playing with his toy cell phone, back in the hotel room.   Note his crappy, falling apart crib in the background. 

                       We kept to really simple toys...he knew what to do with everything. 

        The next morning, eating some banana ceral with dad before we went down to breakfast. 

 Still liking the cell phone...this is us before we start another round of signing and red inking fun. 

 This is a great shot of our Taiyuan guide, Lisa.  She was a lot of fun and really wonderful.  Her husband is in the People's Army and she does not get to live with him where he is stationed

                              I am signing and trying to keep Zack's hands away from everything. 

                                                             Getting ready to ink!!!

                                                       EVERYONE had to red ink. 

 We are all done but waiting on our travel buddies while they take their turn at red inking fun.  Time to start getting in to stuff, don't ya think?

 Our picture with the director of Zack's orphanage, who brought him up from Yuncheng Ciy.  Yuncheng means "transportation"...it is apparently a big hub for transporting salt.  He does not look at all happy here but he's really OK.  I think he was just ready to be out of that room.

                           First time we gave him a full bath.  He did and does still love the tub. 

                                      Sleeping after all of the excitement of our first full day together...this crib is really quite a piece of crap.
