The Big Day

So...tomorrow is the day we have waited almost six years for. It's still hard to believe we are leaving for China tomorrow and will return in a few weeks with our daughter. We are all packed with our suitcases in the car and it still seems like a dream. I'm still waiting for this to feel real...wondering when it will happen?

Benjamin has been ready for weeks. Every day asking when we are going. When I told him to go pick two pairs of shoes and two animals to put in the suitcase, I found this when I came down stairs. Apparently, his animals are walking to China.

Our trip itinerary is below. We are hoping to post updates daily...if I can get all our technology to work. Check back often and see what we are up to!

  2. Stopping by from the GW yahoo group:) Looking forward to following your journey. We have a Lily from Guangzhou too! We brought her home in 2007. Our most recent trip was this past November w/GW to adopt our son, Jaidin from Hangzhou. Enjoy your time in China, take a ton of pics, you can't take to many! And congratulations:)!!
