Sunday morning was very quiet and peaceful. We met a Miami U. grad at Starbucks this morning who now lives in China! Walked around a lot checking out little shops full of clothes, shoes for the kids and lots of souvenirs! We met Zhou, our guide from our agency, early this evening when he and some of the families got in from Beijing. Had a nice dinner, although we are a bundle of nerves already...Zhou said we will meet little Miss Avery about 2p tomorrow (monday)!!! Fortunately, at dinner we met a great couple from Illinois with 2 little ones adopted from here at the next table. They got their little boy about 6 days ago and are mid-way in their stay. They were full of info and took us across the street off our little island after dinner for a short walk. They told us to go back there during the day to see the real city. It is very crowded with 7 million people and very different from home. We are very blessed people back in the US!!
What a beautiful picture of the city. Jeff and I prayed for you guys last night and thought of you another 100 times in the middle of the night. We're constantly calculating what time it is in China and how many more hours until Avery realizes she's finally home. How amazing it's now down to hours... not months, weeks or days. Remember to breathe mom and dad because all of your labor is getting ready to pay off. Just think those beautiful brown eyes are going to be looking up at you soon and the course of one little girls life will change forever with two loving parents and a big brother to adore her. Hang tight... it's almost here! Love ya, Carrie, Jeff, Austin and Gang
