See Ya on the Flip Side!

Well friends I have crossed everything off my list...



** A belated thank you to the secret ladybug sender***

Our bags are packed. We actually could have gotten away with just 2 bags and our backpacks, but I know I will need the extra room for the stuff we will buy in China. We just filled the extra space in the suitcases with bubble wrap ( for breakable purchases) and diapers.



The car is ready to tote around a family of 5!!!



Heather will be my back-up blogger chick if I have any problems posting from China. Thanks Hedda...

I can't believe the time to leave for China is less than 24 hours away. We are all pretty calm here in the casa de TBG. We still don't have a definite date to meet Sophie. I suspect that it will be September 10th not the 9th. I will post when I know something more specific, but I am afraid it won't be until we actually get to her province.

I want to say thank you to all of you who have been so supportive during this first chapter to Sophie. Never in a million years would I have thought that I would share so much with so many people. You all have been such good friends.

Talk to ya from China soon!

I am absolutely thrilled for you! I can't believe it's here! Time for China...

Wow! Kinda surreal to see people I actually know heading for their baby girl.

Have a safe trip. I'll be thinking of you and desperately trying to find a business center with internet access in Mexico!

Oh my god I feel nauseated I'm so excited for you. Are you throwing up at all? Even a little? I think I'd be throwing up.... but the good kind of throwing up. There is such a thing, right?

Seriously. My heart goes with you, my prayers trailing close behind.
