Well this day started off with a trip to the famous 'Red Couch'. We got a couple of really cute pictures with him by himself and then with all of us. Before we went to the White Swan hotel, Tommy and his mom were practicing William and C.J.'s name. He is getting really good at them. After the pictures, we were off to the U.S. Consulate for the official swearing in ceremony. It sounds impressive and with all the preparation it took to get this far, the actual ceremony was very anticlimactic, with one exception, at the end, he was officially ours in the eyes of the U.S. government. The actual ceremony was very short. The official asked us to raise our right hands and swear the the information provided was correct to the best of our knowledge and then she said we were done. So much for pomp and ceremony. Tommy becomes an official U.S. citizen as soon as we cross the U.S. border. We still have to go through immigration in SF but that should go quickly. Well we are off to Beijing tomorrow morning (4:45 a.m.) so we are signing off for tonight. We'll see everyone in a couple of days. We love you William and C.J. and we will be home soon. Luv Mom and Dad.
