One week from today....

Hard to believe that in one week from today we will have...

-finished school and communicated with all of the boys' teachers about what they will miss!

-practiced Facetime with family members who are dying to see Meili when we unite with her!

-packed for 16 days away from home for 5 people 

-traveled all the way to Beijing, China and beyond

-visited the Great Wall of China

-seen the Forbidden City, T'ianamen Square (sp?), and a bunch of other things 

that will probably leave all of us dumbstruck...

AND...

We will have met Meili!!

One week from today is "Gotcha Day," the day we get our little girl...  

Nervous excitement is an understatement! We can't wait to meet Meili...

"Butterflies"as one sweet friend described it, are definitely fluttering!!..

A birthday gift from Andrew's buddy Nathan
became our  China Piggy Travel $.

Wearing our Red Thread bracelets from the Brauns:)

Yep, we are going to China....

See you soon, Meili! xo!
