Arrived!!

Ni Hao! We have arrived! We are now closer than ever to our precious Haddie. The 5 hour layover in Hong Kong was a bit long – although a couple of hour naps helped pass the time nicely. The flight from Hong Kong to Guangzhou was only about 1/3rd full which in our minds lessens the chances of Swine Flu considerably. 30 hours after we got out of bed in St. Louis, we crawled in bed in Guangzhou. We had a great breakfast this morning and are busy unpacking. (Shannon, the over the door shoe organizer is absolutely wonderful!) The room is very nice. There is a glass window between the bathroom and the bedroom but an electric shade provides the privacy necessary. The tub is very deep – it will be interesting trying to bathe Haddie in there. We will be traveling to the China Center for Adoption Affairs Monday at 2:30 to finally have Haddie where she truly belongs – in our arms. We plan on unpacking – ironing – and resting today. There are 2 parks within walking distance and we may check those out. Tomorrow morning we have plans to head over to a Protestant/Bilingual church. That’s all for now – thank you so much for your many prayers. We have seen some of them answered already! God bless you all!
