Didn't post last night because we were out having a blast with Collin. He took us to a fun part of town where we ate a BURGER and drank a MARGARITA! Yum! We love the delicious food here, but once in a while it is nice to have some tastes from home.
We leave in an hour to head to the airport for our flight to Guangzhou (as long as Feng Lin's passport is actually ready. Oh prayers that it isnt delayed for any reason!) Guangzhou is where all adoptions are processed for China. We will spend the week there getting Feng Lin's medical check ups and getting her visa to come to the US. We will finally be heading back home on Dec 6th!
Chris and I are looking forward to going back to Guangzhou. Quinn is from Guangzhou so we spent two weeks there in 2011. The weather is similar to Miami so everything is green there all year round. It was acutally in the 80s there this week, but we are bringing the cold weather with us. It will be rainy and 60 all week which is a bummer, but at least the smog wont be as bad. We are staying at the China Hotel with a bunch of other adoptive families. We are looking forward to seeing other Americans and having some other children for Feng Lin to play with. I have been on FB with some of these families, so it will be so cool to finally meet them.
As we have been packing this morning, Feng Lin has seemed very nervous. Thanks to my Mandarin bible, I was able to explain tht we are leaving and going on a plane, but still very confusing for her. I am anxious to see what kind of traveler she is and how she adjusts to our new "home" in Guangzhou.
Prayers please as we take the next step of our journey-for safe travels, Feng Lin's adjustment to new surroundings, and smooth processes of adoption-related appointments. Prayers for the kiddos at home, too. We miss you so much Colin, Owen, and Quinn! Sending you major hugs and kisses and hope your first day back at school is wonderful.
Love to all.
