Staggered and somewhat, slightly dazed

Yes, that is what two weeks in China with two demanding kiddos and a cold will leave you. We made it through our last step today. We just need to collect Quinn's Visa on Wednesday and take off on Thursday. He will be a US citizen as soon as I set him down on US soil. He and Calliope ran around for 15 minutes tonight in the hotel room. They were giggling and laughing and screaming as they chased each other and pulled each other around with the Hip Panda. Amazingly, this did not end in tears as no one fell down to violently or ran into a wall. I expect to have daily moments from now on where these two go from the heights of fun to the depths of despair because they took their game just a little too far. He is really very physical. And, well, you know Calliope already.
