Only 22 more hours!

Can you tell I am saying that with vigor and enthusiasm?  We are now sitting in the American Admirals Club in Chicago, and in the kids play area at that!  Think playroom with free alcohol!  Just kidding, but there is a playroom and there are free drinks!  It was an uneventful flight from Raleigh to Chicago and the food on the flight was superb!  Savannah did wonderful (thank you DSI!) and she is now burning off a little steam here in the play area with a friend going to Lisben.  We leave Chicago around 8:00 tonight for the long flight to Beijing and the start of our journey in China.  Here are the special dates for us in country:

Arrive in Beijing: December 17th
Depart for Nanning: December 19th
Gotcha Day! : December 20th
Depart for Guangzhou: Christmas Eve
Depart for Beijing: New Years Eve
Depart for HOME! : New Years Day

The next time we post we will be in China!  For now, we will leave you with a new photo we received just this morning from our Coordinator in California.  This was just taken and really shows how our little boy has grown since the day we first saw his picture!  We are so excited we cannot stand it!  Till then......

Mike (Baileys and Ice is Nice!), Ann Marie (I told you the club was a good expense!), and Savannah (do they have Skittles in China?)
