Final Post from China

We did a little shopping today and had the first rain during our entire stay in Guangzhou. You could actually see blue sky at times. Amazing!

We are tired and frayed, and so ready to be home. We can't wait to get up in the morning and start our return voyage.

We fly Delta flight 18 from Shanghai to Atlanta, and arrive in Atlanta at 6:45 pm, where Ahna will officially become a US citizen. We leave Atlanta on flight 1708 at 9:30pm with a 10:56 landing in Cincinnati's CVG airport. Ahna looks forward to seeing friends and family at the airport, and oh by the way, we will be with her.

See you all soon!

Would love to see you arrive at the airport but i'll be out of town. Can't wait to see Ahna at church -- what a fulfilled blessing that you have your daughter. She is just precious. I always love seeing boys acting so tenderly and enthralled with babies and thepictures truly capture this -- what fantastic brothers they'll be. Your hearts must be swelled with joy. Praying for safe travels and your new life as a family of six.

I have been reading your blog for a few months now. I think I found it on RQ. My brother and SIL are adopting from China LID 4-7-08, so we are very supportive of them. Anyway, I bookmarked your blog because ya'll have 3 boys like us! We are exploring adoption also. The crazier thing is, we live in the suburbs of Cincy! I had no idea that I was reading your blog and we live in the same area! That is so strange. Ahna is beautiful and your boys are so sweet!

Safe & Speedy travels home! And a warning that the return jet lag may have you all wearing Ahna's pirate face. It seemed like weeks until we felt like ourselves after our trip. And we both kept waking up wondering why the hotel had put the bathroom outside our room.
