Some Pictures so Far of the Trip

Hey Braxton and Davis this is a Coke can that is in Chinese! Thought you would like to see that!

Love you!

Tonight we ordered a hamburger for dinner. It came with a piece of ham on top of the beef.
Thought that was fun ham-burger.

This is Billy and Emily they traveled with us to China.
We had a long lay over in LA so we went to do some sight seeing.

Here we are at Venice Beach.

Don't I look excited to fly. Clint made me smile, but I really did not want too.

Venice Beach, Braxton and Davis this is the Pacific Ocean.

We Made It To China!!

We finally arrived in Taiyuan today Sept. 2nd. Feels a little weird to have skiped a whole day. The flight from LA was fine, but very long. Our guide Mary said we will be going tommorrow afternoon to be able to get and meet Brooklynn for the first time. We are excited but exhausted from the travel. Mary our guide said it is a 4 hour trip from the orphanage to where we are.
Our ride to the hotel was very interesting I will have to say. People just walk out in the middle of the street and drive on both sides of the road. There are lines painted, but I think they are just there for looks. Oh, and really there is no speed limit and I don't think I saw one traffic light the whole time we were in the van. I have to say now I feel much safer riding in a NY cab in the streets of Manhattan than here any day. I ride with my eyes shut. We will post more later with pictures.

Love,
Diane

Traveling to China!!

We started off this morning before the sun was up; around 5:00 am. We left Huntsville with no probelms what so ever and arrived in Atlanta. We fly from Atlanta to Los Angeles with only a 30 minute delay. One of the compartments fell open, so we had to go back to the gate. We are currently waiting for our flight for Guangzhou which will leave here in LA at 11:55 pm. It is hard to believe we are actually traveling to get our daughter. So many thoughts cross our mind. How will she react? Does she know we are coming to get her? We are very worn out from travel and are ready for some sleep. Maybe we will be able to rest on the flight to China. We can't believe we will soon meet our daughter for the first time. We will post once we get to China.
Braxton and Davis Daddy and Mommy love and miss you very much!!! Can't wait to see you. Please be good while we are gone.

Love,
Diane
