Hi All
Today we are staying around the hotel until our paperwork is fully processed through the U.S. Consulate. We have to stay near a phone. Pat is going to take Caitlin back to the park with another family for some play time and I'll stay back for nap time with Samantha. We also will have our group picture taken today on the Red Couch at the White Swan Hotel. This has been a tradition for adopting families for a long time and the kids all dress in traditional Chinese outfits. Caitlin can't wait to wear her dress. Here is our flight information for those of you who are wanting to meet us at the airport in Grand Rapids. I can't wait to see all of you.
We fly out of Guangzhou to Hong Kong at 8:25.
We leave Hong Kong at 12:45.
the next day...
We leave Chicago at 6:20
Arrive in Grand Rapids at 8:14!!!

Is this a.m. or p.m.? Tracy
Yeah!!!! Hopefully you'll bring her in on Monday when you bring Caitlin to school (if you're all rested by then). :) Small note: if you could bring in your zip drive when you come back that would be helpful for progress reports. Not like you don't have enough to do/remember, right? :) Thanks. Connie
