So excited for you! And you're going to China - an amazing country, for the bestest reason! To get your baby girl!

I think Paul's very favorite memory of our arrival in Chna five years ago was the huge sign, in English, over the first escalator we encountered. It just said Be Careful in letters two to three feet high.

As he is always, always telling me that very thing, it delighted him that that was how China greeted me! And sure enough, on our visit to the Great Wall (in Badaling, just North of Beijing), I had both our friend and translator Wang Min in front of me and Paul behind me both telling me "Be Careful!" the whole way up and down!

Oh, we are so exicted for you, for you we will bringing home the very best souvenir of all! Wheeeeeeeee! Kisses to Mary Joyce, and hugs to anyone who has cared for her during the long wait!
