Update from China!

We're HERE, in Guangxi province China! It's been a very busy couple of days. We arrived in Beijing on Friday night late. Saturday we toured Beijing all day. We went to Tien An Men Square, The Forbidden City & The Great Wall!! What an amazing experience. We loved Beijing! We had a chance to meet several other families from our travel group which was really nice. We all went our seperate ways today to head to the provinces where our daughters are from.

We arrived in Guangxi province this afternoon, checked into our hotel & then went out to grab some essential items....more diapers, a brush (I forgot mine!), etc. We got settled in and set up for our baby girl and then went to dinner. It was pretty awesome to open our hotel room door & see a crib sitting there. WOW! This must really be happening. Tomorrow is the big day. We meet Georgea at 11am!!

I hope to have some pictures ready to post in the next day or two! Praying for a good night's sleep....but wondering if that's possible. I can't wait to meet my sweet baby girl TOMORROW!!!!!!!!!

Glad to see a new blog post!!! I keep checking. Yes we have your time clock up here too and I look at it almost every hour like that's going to make the time go by faster :) We'll be thinking of you at 8 pm tonight when you finally have your baby girl in your arms. We can't wait to see pics!

Good Morning You Two!!!
Just checked the time...four more hours and you will be holding your baby girl!!!!
I have become such a blog stalker!! Steve just asked, "Are you posting another comment?"
Can't help myself...I am sooooo excited for you both. What a beautiful day TODAY is!
Georgea is probably getting fed, bathed and all dressed up to meet her forever mommy and daddy. She has TWO "birth days" back-to-back.

We are all with you in spirit!

Counting the hours until you are holding Georgea in your arms. We are so excited for all three of you as you become a family in a few hours. Enjoy every second of it and feel all the love and support from your friends and family who are standing behind you today and the days to come.

love...Sue & Robert & Alexa
