Getting Ready To Fly!


Wow, it's crazy now! Been a very busy week of getting our house ready for the boys' stay here with Papatoe and Nana. I'm staring at 3 empty suitcases for us. It will get done! We fly out Wednesday, May 7. We're flying American to Tokyo then connecting to Japan Air to Beijing. That puts us in Beijing at 9:05 p.m. May 8. The next two days, we get to see the Great Wall, Tian'an men Square, Summer Palace, and the Forbidden City. That's so we get over that jet lag! On May 11, Mother's Day, we travel south to Guangzhou where we will remain until we leave. On May 12, Monday, our little XiaoMei will be delivered to us. That's technically Mother's Day in the United States. Wow, what a gift. We will remain in Guangzhou until May 23. We will have a one-night layover in Tokyo. We arrive back to Texas May 24!

As exciting as this is, it's still seriously tugs at my heart on leaving my boys. We will Skype almost everyday. We have web cams. So, hopefully this will ease our missing each other. Thankfully they will also be in school to pass their days. They will have lots of fun. We just can't wait for the day when we return to China as a family of 6. Love!

I saw Nancy picking up the boys today and stopped and talked to her for awhile. She said you got off just fine to the airport and that everything was going fine! We have all been talking about you guys all day from two doors down. Right now, you are still flying, I think? Anyway, love the blog. 4 more days!
