We Have Travel Approval!

Our agency called us this afternoon and China has extended travel approval. What does that mean? It means that we can go pick up our little girl! Our tentative date is that we (the three of us) will fly to China on May 22nd. We will fly into Beijing, see the Great Wall and various other sights. We will then fly to Nanchang on the 28th. Our agency believes that Lucy will be brought to us in a few days. After that, we travel east to Guangzhou. Our agency is trying to secure a consulate appointment for us on June 2nd. So, it is quite possible that we will have Lucy home for her first birthday! Hurray! The downside is, I'm sure we'll all be suffering from jet lag and we might fall asleep in the cake. But no matter! Wow! So we have only three weeks and lots of stuff to do. I hope we can get some shopping done for some girly girl things this weekend. We will also be picking out siding, shingles, stone, and plumbing fixtures. This is good. Being so busy will make the time fly by!
