WE ARE HERE!!!!
What a day! It has been absolutely terrific, we felt your
prayers and appreciate them so much, it was an incredible day of
travel. All three of our flights were great with smooth take
offs and landings, we all felt GREAT and travel was easy. Max
had a BIG day, he travels so well, we had 24 hours of flying and
waiting on our flights and he was so content and happy and was
on cloud nine all day about being on the “BIG airplane”. Between
flights, as we waited Max made friends with the other passengers
that were also waiting, young and old…many were calling him by
name and telling him bye as we boarded.
First thing early this morning at DFW airport, there was a
family waiting to board our plane that had a beautiful little
Chinese daughter that was 5 years old, we started visiting and
found out that they were on their way back to China to get their
second daughter. They were on all the same flights with us,
their daughter is from the same province that Vivi Jo is from,
we are staying at the same hotel, and we are getting our
daughters at the same place, same day and same time…pretty cool!
We enjoyed visiting and getting to know them. Their daughter and
Max hit it off and they ended up holding hands as they boarded
the plane. All I could think about was how he is going to adore
his Vivi Hua Hua,( that’s what he calls her).
Many of your know that soon after we came home with Max last
September, that he could pick out an Asian person in a huge
crowd and he calls them all China…not Chinese but China, and
gets so excited because he knows being Chinese (China) is way
COOL! When we got to Beijing I was carrying him through the
airport and of course there were Chinese people everywhere, his
eyes were HUGE and he said with much excitement in his voice,
“OH! LOOK!...CHINA, OH! MAMA LOOK, ANOTHER ONE…OH OH LOOK…….! As
we walked passed them he gave them a big smile and wave.
Tomorrow we will tour the Forbidden City, visit Tiananmen Square
and climb the Great Wall of China. Our guide said that it will
be an eleven or twelve hour day of touring. We are looking
forward to it. Then you know what the next day after touring
is….yes, it will be the day that we will be united with our
little princess. We can’t wait! Please keep us and Vivi in your
prayers. Prayer works! We love you and I’ll be sending an update
on our full day of touring.
Be sure and go to the Shutterfly link, I added some more
pictures from today.
