Samantha Day





Hi Everyone
It is about 8:30 here and we are expecting Samantha around 9:30. We just had a fancy meal for breakfast and Caitlin in playing in Grammy and Poppy's room. Which is good since I am sitting here bawling. This is a very emotional time, crazy ups and downs from one moment to the next. We are very excited but missing home very much. I read all of your comments, hence the bawling, but I am touched by all your love. Caitlin just walked in and out cheering, "my sister is coming". She is off to find the pool. Sound familiar Brooke? Anyway, we are missing you all very much. caitlin's foot is much better. Slightly bruised and you can still see the bite but the swelling is gone.

Here are some pictures of Caitlin in the airport yesterday having some fun. Also a picture of our $4,000.00 worth of fees that we have to pay today, exchanged into Chinese money. Pat had to walk down the road a block or so carrying it all. What a story that is...
I'll post video and pictures of Samantha's arrival tonight!!!
Love to you all again-

Kim, we are so excited for you all! We have been watching your blog for months and now the time has finally come! Catherine and I are looking at pictures of Caitlin and she has been getting excited to see pictures of the new little one very soon. I will have to show her pics when we wake up for school in the morning (your bed time in China). :) Can't wait to hear about all the excitement! We're praying for you all! Love ya, Connie

Well, I do not think I should get on your blog anymore at work, I have not done a thing since I got here and everyone keeps asking me if I am ok, I keep looking at the pictures and getting missty eyed, trying to hold it in.

I am so excited for you guys you are not a foursome, I just can not believe we now have to wait 2 weeks to see her in person.

Caitlin how do you like being a big sister? I am glad your foot is doing better, because you are going to have to show her the ropes.

Well, I should get to work, it is piling up. I am so happy for you.

Love you all lots, xoxoxo
