We're leaving on a jet plane....

I never thought this day would come; but we have booked our flights for China and will be picking up our beautiful daughter on April 24!

Per usual, the process is about as smooth as walking on broken glass; we literally were told at 1:30 today we had until 3:00 tomorrow to book our tickets for our trip to be in China by the 23; today is the 10th (no pressure there).

Our group is being squeezed in during some annual convention or something and therefore we are skipping the 3 extra days in Beijing and have been instructed to arrive in our child's province the day before our Gotcha Day; nothing like a little jet lag exhaustion to set the mood for Gotcha Day.

Luckily for us, our dear friends Robyn and Paul (see reference pictures below) just returned a week ago today. We had them over for dinner last night and a through debriefing on what to expect, do, eat, et al. Thank you for sharing your time with us and letting us spend some time with your wonderful family; Avery is such a sweetheart doll. I look forward to many play dates with our children.

There are more things to do than I feel can possibly get done; all I know for sure is the huge mountain in front of us will soon be under us and then behind us and our lives will change forever.

I hope to update while we are on this amazing journey to complete our family circle.

We appreciate any and all prayers to help us through this.

Love V
