Hi ya'll! Well... we are finally here! YAYAYAYAY!!!! Tony, Nana (my Mom) and I started our journey at 6:00am on Wednesday morning, 05/11/11...we arrived at the airport at around 6:30am and left from the Mcghee Tyson airport in Knoxville around 8:20 am We arrived at the Chicago O'Hare airport around 9:30am and then had a layover until 3:45pm b/c they were doing maintenance on the airplane (made me a little nervous!!!) Then we boarded the plane and had to wait for another hour or so d/t weather before we could leave (now even more nervous...ha!) We FINALLY arrived in Beijing around around 7:20pm Thursday, 05/12/11 Beijing time(7:20am Thursay, 05/12/11 Knoxville time!) We are traveling with a sweet couple Jeff and Nicole Massey (and her father) who are also getting their precious baby girl at the same time as we are. Our guide, Louise met us at the airport and she is sooo nice. She told us that she spoke with the orphanage and that she was told that we have active, healthy babies!...made me cry!!! The past 24 hours or so have been extremely LOOOONG and tiring...but oh so worth it! God is so good! :)
Look forward to following your journey! Soak-up every minute of your daughter's birth country! Don't hesitate to email us if you have more questions!! Grace!

I am so happy for you..I know you will cry but you remember to smile. I have met a lot of little people at the hospital when they first got home. It can. Be a little scary.I know as long as you smile she will see the angle you are and will just melt in your arms. Love you
