Hey there everybody, particularly... ( Kim, Laine, Sherri, Jodi, Amber, Auntie Kat ) and everyone else. I hope I didn't forget somebody. I am so excited you guys are coming along on this trip with us. Jodi, however is literally coming with us and I know how excited they are in preparation.
We have one more day before we leave for China, and I believe we are ready. We have our visas, and all our documents in nice water proof packages for the government all nicely prepared for me by Karla, my social worker. Thanks Karla, you did a good job.
Our flight will be a very long one, we leave early morning Monday and don't arrive in China until the night of the following day. We will be going through Tokyo. Too bad I can't do any shopping. After getting into Beijing, we will be able to go to bed, as it will be late at night when we arrive.
The next and first day there, our guide will pick us up and take us to lunch and then we will be able to visit the Great Wall of China and then Tienanmen Square.
I will post more info as it comes. Again , thanks for all of your prayers and love.
PS. Sherri, I forgot to answer you about Eli's size. I was told that he is probably about 26 lbs. He could be heavier or lighter. You know how it is going on two or three photos. He does seem to be getting plenty of nutrition though. Fat cheeks don't lie. Also I was told to pack some diapers in the 26 lb. range .
