Welcome...

Hello... Welcome family and friends. This blog was started so you could follow our adoption journey to our daughter in China...Crystina Luz ChenLi. Now, it's to follow our everyday adventures with 2 active young children, who are growing SO fast, Crystina & Ethan and 2 playful Yorkies, Lola and Bertha.

2 weeks from today...

Okay, so 2 weeks from today...WE LEAVE FOR CHINA!!!! We still can't believe that our dream of becoming parents is actually coming true! I've read so many journals/blogs about parents "getting ready to leave for China" and wondered if we would ever get there and how does that feel, knowing that they will be meeting their child soon! Now we know! And we'll tell you, it's an awesome feeling, so many emotions going all at once. If you are reading this and still waiting for "the call," just know that IT WILL HAPPEN. It's all in GOD's timing and HE already knows which child is yours! This child was meant for US! And it's so amazing how it all has happened. The phone call caught us totally off guard, we were not expecting it, at all. Which we think made it extra special. Sometimes GOD does that to you. ; )

We've been buying like crazy for our trip...personal things, baby stuff, munchies for the baby...munchies for us, just in case...gifts for the nannies and some other stuff that I can't think of right now. And all the stuff that we still need to get.....

Also, we've been watching the Olympics every night. We LOVE it when they show the sights and sounds of China, it seems to be so beautiful. And knowing that we will be there in 2 weeks...is just unbelievable. I feel like this is all a dream...so please no-one pinch me, just in case it is. : )
