"Hi all,
Great news! I received the emailed confirmation from the Consulate today. The appointment has been scheduled for Monday, August 13, at 9:00am. Please proceed and purchase your international airline tickets. Please forward your final itineraries to Emily and myself as soon as you purchase your tickets."
When we got the news, R made a happy noise that sounded like a mouse that had just run into a big pile of cheese. It was something like "eee eee eee". As we are getting ready for work this morning, we're both running around the house bumping into each other. I think I had too much coffee! R is going to work with the travel agent this morning to book our tickets. I'll go down my "to do" list again (it's two pages long!) and make sure everything is on track.
So we will depart Washington on Monday, July 30th for Beijing and we hope to have Jennifer Rose in our arms on Sunday, August 5th!
Did I mention we are excited?
J.

Being a loyal reader of your blog is so rewarding -- breaking news (beating out the Heverin blog) of the best possible kind! I'm so excited that this time next month, the two of you and Jennifer Rose will be together and starting your life together as a family!
We are counting the seconds til she is in your arms. michelle, andrew and hannah
It is very exciting on this end to watch all the emotion going into your picking up you daughter. We keep thinking about you and look forward to seeing you on yhour return. Helen and Reg
Although it won't be long now, it must seem like an eternity until the day you pick her up. At least that's what it seemed like to us, once we got the airline tickets and logistics settled. You are no doubt getting lots of advice, but we offer this...enjoy every second (even now as you wait). She is a miracle that will lighten your life in many ways....Okay, and now the practical travel advice from the travel industry types that we are--don't over pack. You can buy it there, if you need it, says John, the China Walmart shopper. Can't wait to meet her. Much love to you, Barbara Richardson, and John and Mikayla Wolf
