Our Last Update from China

We are ready to head for home! We leave bright and early tomorrow morning. This afternoon we head to the US consulate to take our oath of adoption. The rest of the day will be spent packing and doing some last minute shopping.

We have had a great time here in China. We've been having lots of fun with Ava and Hannah. We marvel at how well Ava is adjusting to our family and how well Hannah is adjusting to being a big sister. We are also so grateful that for the most part my mom has been doing well. Yesterday was the first day she experienced some vertigo. We are praying that she will continue to do well during the long flight home.

We love you all and can't wait to introduce you to Ava!

Thank you so much for the blog! I can't begin to tell you how exciting it has been to read the updates and see the wonderful photos.

We're so glad that everything went so well. You will all continue to be in our prayers (your parents too).

Give your sweet daughters hugs from us!
