Good morning. It is 5 am here and we've been up since 4. I think we are still on the wrong time schedule. We did go to bed at 8pm though, so we feel rested and ready to sightsee today. Tonight when we go to bed we will have trouble sleeping knowing that it is the last night we will spend without Lainie. I'm sure I will say it one million times, but it is so hard to believe that we are in China and being with our daughter is just a day away. Thank you to all of you who are making it possible for us to be here. Whether you are praying, keeping our kids, watering our flowers, checking our mail, or covering for us in our jobs, we are FOREVER grateful. Here are some photos from yesterdays travels.
On our way to the other side of the world.....
Jackie and Jen walking and shopping at the Chicago airport....
Bobby in Chicago.....
We'll post more pictures tonight of the sights of CHINA.....
Again, I still can't view what I am posting, so please let me know in the comment section if something isn't right. I can find a new blog host if it isn't coming through, but as long as you are able to view everything I'll just leave it here.

Congrats on your new addition. My daughter Sierra is very fond of Ms. Judy and I have heard all about what the journey you and your family have been on. It is wonderful that you have finally completed your family and that God has held your hands and those of the others along your way. We are very happy for you and continue to pray for you for a safe journey and for your new daughter/sister Lainie and her friend from the orphanage in china. We wish you all the best. Desiree and Sierra.
