At this time, one week from today, we will be waiting for check in at the Continental Airlines counter. 7 days. 7 DAYS PEOPLE! SEVEN DAYS! Little Miss burst into tears yesterday on the way home from school saying "I'm going to miss you when you go to China". It is so hard to maintain the Mommy face when all you want to do is cry Charlie Brown tears along with her. If she only knew how much we are going to miss HER and her big brother.

Poor Little Miss!
I can't believe the 7 day countdown is finally here! You must be over the moon! I can't wait to follow your journey! Please tell me that you are going to post from China! We have to see her sweet little face and I am dying to know her name too!
Oh, I'm getting so excited for you guys! I wanted to let you know that we ate at a restuarant near the Five Rams Park entrance. I think we went through the gates of the park. Very flavorful and fried (for the kids sake). I'm sorry I don't know the name. Remember the names of the best ones, since we're hoping to be there in January! Still waiting for PA, though, 9 days so far.
I am getting teared up just reading this! So excited for you!
Make sure you go to the Safari park. We didn't hear about it until it was too late. I have seen pictures looks wonderful.
