Travel Meeting Smiles

We never thought it would get here, but here we are. Just days away and putting a few last things together. Travel meeting went well. Tommy and I volunteered to be group leaders on the trip (well, I volunteered us.)

We take off at 8:55am Thursday morning and arrive in Beijing at 4:05pm Friday. Uuggh! We are just counting the days till we meet our sweet n spicy girl.

What a FABULOUS photo of you two! Whoever do you use as a photographer? Ansel Adams?

Thinking of you in China, eager and jet-lagged. Happy birthday to Miss Olivia. Ellie is very proud to be 4 and excited to hear that her friends are also turning 4!
Love,
Lori

We're so excited for you all. Today is Saturday, November 11. In two days, Leila officiallyl becomes a part of your family. Every day, we check to see if you guys have posted anything from China, especially photos. Olivia turns four tomorrow (woooo hooo!), and we're thinking of her, wondering how she's doing and what she finds exciting.

Hugs to you all and an extra birthday hug to Miss O.

Carol
Nick, ShanShan, and Bo

P.S. Disregard the attached photo of the President of Finland. Long story...

Dear Katie and Tommy and Olivia -

You are probably all sleeping now ( or maybe you can't!) but it's just a few hours away and you will be united with your sweet Leila! Oh wow - we are so thrilled for you. It seems like a dream, though it was just 2 months ago when we were right where you are!
Our thoughts are with you ... as you know, these moments are precious, take your time and soak it all in! ... love to you all, and a special Happy Birthday kiss for Olivia!

xoxo
