Today, our adoption was made official by the Chinese government- Amy is officially a Flatt in their eyes!!! Of course, she fits right in (observe her lovingness to read- that's a book that she's so into).Can you believe we're a family of 7??? S-E-V-E-N!!! To me, that number is mind boggling. I remember the days when we were a family of 5!! I liked our family then, but this is way better (no offense meant).
Today, we went to the Lotus market, which is basically like a Wal-Mart, except it's WAY cooler!! Seriously, they have like escalators!! (which I managed to trip on... multiple times... while I was in the middle of them... don't even ask how).
And then, it has like everything. Seriously. Like, I think I could wander around there for hours and still not come across everything. It's like the most amazing supermarket thing in the world!!! (I think I'm being overly excited about such a small thing, but who cares? Life is better if you can choose to be amused by the small things!)
I actually bought stuff there. For my own personal use, I bought like 3 awesome notebooks, a CD that's in Chinese (haha you have to know the whole story behind getting this), a DVD that's in Chinese (goes along with the same story behind the CD), and a book. Those were all of my
purchases!
All I wanted to say about this picture is: aren't my two little sisters cute??? I mean, they're both 12, but I still think they're pretty cute!!! (don't tell Nikki I said that... she'd most likely tell me to take that statement off!)

Hey Meg Meg -
Your blog is so awesome. I hope you realize how special this experience is and I thank you for sharing all of it. I know mom will catch me up more later but I appreciate all of your detail and color (mom's entries are a little shorter). Enjoy every part of this, even the yucky fish heads that are staring at you. At least it wasn't still breathing! I've seen that on tv before - eewwww!
Keep taking lots of pictures. I want to see them all when I come next time.
Tell your sister and Josh I said hi.
