It is 8:22 am and I have so much to do that I am immobilized. I have completely packed a wardrobe for 7 people for 15 days in China. Today is the day to pack everything else, from duct tape to toothbrushes and medicines for "just in case" situations. I have it all assembled on the dining room table but now the job is to squeeze all of "that" into backpacks and into the suitcases with the clothes. I am a little nervous but doing quite well considering that in one week, we will have a new daughter and sister and that we are going on the National Geographic version of an adoption trip. The children are all excited and we can't wait to see their reactions of being in China for the first time that they can remember. I just can't even imagine what they are going to think! What is really exciting is that my friend, Lorrie from Florida is flying up here today to go with us. She came with me to adopt Zoe, so we have this adoption trip bond thing going. LOL
We so appreciate that she is doing this for us and for the sacrifice her own family will be making for her to come with us. She has 4 at home, all adopted from China as well. So she can fully relate to our craziness.

We are all so excited for all of you! What an adventure for the girls. We want to see every picture and hear every detail when you get back. The kids are looking forward to welcoming Quinn home -- and of course to see all the girls. We wish you a safe and fun journey.
