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.

We have TRAVEL DATES!!

Friday we got a phone call for our travel dates!! Yippee!!!! ; ) Yes, we have our tickets already!

We leave Thursday, August 28th at 8:42 am from Orlando to DC...leave DC at around 12:30pm and arrive in Beijing on Friday, August 29th at 1:55 pm (China time). It's about a 13 hour flight from DC to Beijing. Ahhhh!!!

We arrive home on Wednsday, September 10th at around 10:50 pm.

We don't have our exact itinerary yet, but when we do, we will post it (see sidebar for Itinerary for China Trip).

So far, there are 15 families traveling with us. But we think we are the only ones going to Kunming, Yunnan (where Crystina is from).

We are looking forward to our trip and can't wait to hold our baby girl!! 3 weeks from Thursday we leave!! I can't believe we actually can say that! After SO long to be parents and in less than a month, we will have OUR DAUGHTER!! WOW!!! The past 2 months have been so unbelievable! But that's the way GOD works!
