Gettin' ready for the big event!

Wow! Breakfast buffet here at the White Swan Hotel is amazing. Even Ladybug was "stuffed" ~ and many of you know how much that girl can eat for breakfast! What was even more amazing was being surrounded by families with newly adopted children....well, babies!...and how that adds to the surreal-ness of this entire adventure. God is so awesome to allow us this opportunity!

We're up and ready for the day. We sat around the computer and read through the comments on our blog posts! How they encourage us! Please keep it up! You can also email us...we can easily read our emails!

Just wanted to say that we are so excited for today's big event. Around 2am in N-ville we will be meeting Emmy Xiang. We're working on the correct pronunciation for Xiang. So far, the general consensus is (soft t sound) tsee-ahng or tshee-ahng...the important "new" interpretation being the two syllable action. See if you can say it with us. Ready? Xiang. How did you do?

Gotta get off the computer so the Elf can work on the slide shows of pictures of past days and we can begin to develop a detailed post.

Thank you for your prayers and your comments of encouragement. Love to the family...love to the friends! Thanks K and J for watching Hank! Give him lots of hugs and kisses for us! Hello from the girls to all their friends. We miss y'all. Glad to hear the progressive dinner went well. Sorry we missed it. Love y'all!

Oh, we can't wait! I'm hoping when we wake up in the morning there will be news of Emmy Xiang, at least some time tomorrow. I know you'll be loving her so much that it will be awhile before your thoughts turn back towards blogging! Celina can't wait for her new friend "Emmy Jong". She says her necklace is pretty and maybe she would share it with her? Love you guys!!!
