Aislinn Day

Our flight too Xi'An was for 7:30 am so we were up @3am & dressed(I never slept) hot facebook &download some of our photos. Then were were off to the airport with the other families. Our flight from Beijing was a little rocky but good, we landed made a pit stop at the restroom then went to get our luggage & meet our guide. Our hotel is right outside the Bell tower

After settling in we and the other family went to the bank to exchange our money. Of coure we would have trouble with that. After the bank it was back to the hotel to get our gifts & bag & head off to the civil affairs office. It was a quick ride and when we got out there walking into the building was two nannies with two little girls.
We rode up in the elevator with theem and into a small room. Besides us there were 2 other families getting thier daughter. Kim who got little Ava & another couple from an different agency.Kim & I have been chatting online for a couple of months since we found out we would be traveling together.
Aislinn went straight to Andrew and he lit up like a christmas tree. After much chaos & a chance to thank Aislinn Foster mother & have some questions answered we were off to have a photo taken. Aislinn was as quiet as a mouse up until this point (she wanted no part of having her photo taken). They finally got it & it was back to the hoetel to do our paperwork. Emma our guide came into our room for the paperwork, when I started filling, writing & signing I broke out in tears & started sobbing (blame it on lack of sleep, getting sick or the finality of the end of this rollercoaster of a ride) & I know it won't be my last one.
Andrew ran to KFC to some chicken & mashed potatoes. Aislinn loved the potatoes afterwhich I washed her up and got her ready for bed. We laided her in her bed about 7:15, Andrew talked to her for a few minutes then left her alone. A few mintes later we went back to check on her and she was sound asleep, with her fingers in her mouth. I turned in a few moments later and didn't get out of bed till 5:30, (slept on & off but slept more then I have in the last few weeks).
