We leave for my parents' house tomorrow, Monday, theoretically by 3pm, but if I know us (and I do) we'll be lucky to leave by 6pm. I really, REALLY want to get a decent night's sleep before we begin a very long travel day. I know, wishful thinking.
Here's the basic outline: Tuesday: fly to San Francisco, then on to Beijing, arriving Wednesday afternoon (China time). Eat quick dinner, collapse into exhausted slumber.
Thursday/Friday: touring in Beijing, hiking Great wall, take overnight train to Xi'an.
Saturday/Sunday: tour Xi'an, including the terra cotta warriors, and church in Xi'an (yes, they have an LDS branch there!) Fly to Wuhan.
Monday-Friday: meet HengAi on Monday morning, do adoption and passport paperwork, tour Wuhan.
Friday: (the 13th! The boys think we're doomed) fly to Guangzhou.
Saturday-Tuesday: finish up adoption paperwork, tour, and try to blow the last of our spending money. Tuesday evening, take a train to Hong Kong.
Wednesday: maybe Hong Kong Disney. We'll have to see how we are all faring at that point.
Thursday: Fly home! We might make it back in time for cub scout pack meeting. :)
All of this is subject to change, of course. I'm feeling a little exhausted by it all already!

Good Luck with everything! We are so excited for you! I also wanted to say how much I appreciated your testimony today, it was beautiful and made the meeting even better.
I am so excited!!! Prayers are being answered for everyone lately and I am just bursting with the joy of it all!! Have fun as a family and we will see you when you get back! (I still can't believe you are going to try to make it to pack meeting!)
Heather-
I can't imagine the excitement your family must be feeling about this trip! HengAi is a lucky girl to be joining your family! I have butterflies in my stomach for you, it sounds like the adventure of a lifetime. Soak it all in.

Oh Heather, I can't wait to meet sweet Hannah! I hope everything goes smoothly..... Have fun and we will be praying for all of you! Love you!
We saw Mike and the girls at the parade on Saturday. They both looked like they were having lots of fun. Mike said her was sure it was Eva first parade. How lucky we are to have such fun things as a regular part of life and how great it is that for now on they will be a part of Eva's.
