We got it!!!! We got it!!! We got it!!!

Late yesterday afternoon we received and email from our agency stating our Travel Approval had arrived. Thank Goodness!!!! They are trying to schedule our consulate appts for the week of April 1 and if that happens our departure date to leave for China should be around March 20th. We are hoping to go a couple of days ahead of the group to get acclimated and do some extra tours so we could potentially be leaving in 10 days!!!!! 10 days, people!!!!

We should find out our confirmed consulate appointment early next week and then will have definitive dates.

The countdown to holding Avery has officially begun!!!!!

Congrats on achieving your last big hurdle. Its all downhill from now! Your daughter is beautiful. My sis and I, too, went a few days early to Beijing, and were so happy we did. I have a packing list on my site if you need one. Its under Taylorfest2006 - The World Tour, on the PackingHell page. its the babyjellybeans site. Taylor Jordan, pswd: Taylor, if you're interested.

You're about to embark on the trip of a lifetime, for so many reasons. Thank you for letting me share in your joy.

Kind regards from Miami,

Yeah!!!! We went to Beijing too - it was well worth it to get on China time. It's kinda funny to see all the American's at breakfast at 5am! :) We are praying that God is preparing Avery to meet y'all! Congratulations! Can't wait to see Avery and Aubriana playing together!
