After a four hour delay, we flew to the capital city of Henan province, Zhengzhou. The main form of transportation here is bicycle. We walked to Walmart tonight with the other families and had to dodge bikes all the way. It was funny to see chickens and fish hung up like a butcher shop in the middle of Walmart. The culture and people in China are amazing. Tomorrow is the big day. We cannot wait. We should get Lily Kate about 1:00. The director of her orphanage will bring her by train to us and it is about a four hour ride. Tomorrow night we will "be starting over." It is hard to believe.
Lily Kate
Car keys in hand...ready to search for a family at age one!
I am so excited for you all! Try and get a good night sleep before your big day. Lily Kate is probably going to be in a whirlwind tomorrow, so she might not sleep well. With Morgan, she was so upset most of the evening after I got her. She found some comfort with a towel from the bathroom, she clung to that thing and finally fell asleep. She also hated baths, I finally had to just put her in the shower with me. Everything is all new to them. Looking forward to seeing pictures once you get her. Email me if you have any questions I can help with! Take care!!
