Yeah God. TA was the best two letters I heard. We are still in Lanzhou and our little girl is slowly revealing herself to us each day. Praying your precious one will feel safe and loved in your arms.
Congratulations!! Kind of bummed I don’t get to meet you there though! Our CA is April 3 and we are returning April 6th with our new little edition. So happy you got in before the huge trade fair (at least most of it.)

Lydia

HOORAH – those six leaf clover are REALLY GOOD!!
Saw the comment about hotels – I don’t “do” RQ – we really liked the Victory on the island – better than the WS (closed right now anyway) – Great breakfast at the Victory!

“Ni-haw!” (as my Chinese meets the south little gal would say).
So happy that you finally have dates. And I can hardly believe that you will be in GZ at the same time as one of my long time friends ~ who just happens to be next door neighbors with the family that is adopting Julia from AOW. Wish I was a stowe away on this trip!
Blessings to you!
Sweet! April 10 was our gotcha day in Wuhan –in 2006! Be prepared for any sort of weather—we started with HEAT–wore capri’s and sandals…..2 days later the temps dropped unexpectedly into the upper 40’s/low 50’s and we were freezing!
Congratulations!!
She is just beautiful! So happy for you and how God has designed you and is sustaining you to be Mommy to many blessings!
