We started this journey many years ago, knowing that our daughter was waiting for us somewhere in China. That journey began in 2004, but after a setback healthwise, we had to pull out, thinking our hopes were dashed forever. Then in late 2005, with renewed purpose and strength we again began the process of our adoption. We were logged into China March 28th, 2006, and were matched with our Dear Daughter, October 13th, 2009. GOTCHA 12/14/09 Forever Ours 12/15/09

Arrived Beijing..... Last Leg 12/23/09

I was so hopeful to load in some photos before hitting the bed, but the server is so slow here, I've literally tried to upload some photos 3 times.... so with that I give up, and give in to much needed sleep.

Tomorrow is the long flight home. We fly half way around the World, keeping ahead of Santa.
Hoping that our car isn't buried in snow at Newark Airport. Arriving early Evening, in New Jersey, we didn't want to burden our family with a pick up, and it became such a royal pain in the butt enlisting a service to do so as well....... damn Holiday, VBG.

So, this is going to be it, the LAST post till I return, but I promise to add these pictures to complete our trip Still have a bunch of Red Couch shots to add as well. I happen to think that my shots are better than the pros shots.... actually, looked like his assistant picked up my camera during the shoot, and those shots seem to be better than the ones we paid for.

Oh well.......it's been an incredible adventure, and we're going home with the most wonderful, beautiful, smart, and funny daughter......... can't wait for you all to meet her.

So, that's it from China............ next stop, USA ! Wish us a smooth flight, all 13 some odd hours of it, and please, pray for our car not to be caught in a snow bank, piled high from snow plows.

Xie, Xie,
Love,
Shelley, Dave, & Baylon
