Goodbye Guangzhou

Today was a fast day of packing up and saying good byes!

Sonia and my pathes crossed somehow on line before we traveled. They are an amazing family and she is a very special mommy. They have 4 boys and traveled to China to adopt 2 more boys. The brought their whole family so couldn't be missed. I so enjoyed meeting her in person and seeing her sweet family every morning at breakfast. Two sweet boys now have a wonderful mom and dad and 4 amazing big brothers. They were fun to sit back and watch. Eric and I often commented how wonderfully behaved all their sweet boys were. You have to click on her name and go check out her blog. She is so funny and even funnier in real life.

We spent the rest of day packing, packing and packing some more. We had an exit meeting with our agency and then spent some time with our friends before we left. We feel so blessed to have met so many wonderful people. Kurt, Lauren and Lu Lu with be life long friends I believe. We were able to spend time together praying over each others children and families before we said our good byes. We so appreciate this Godly couple, their call to adopt and the memories we made with them in China. I am sure we will be seeing more of them.

The journey home began. We picked up Max's Visa and headed for train station. We boarded the train to Hong Kong at 6:15. One more of Max's many experienced in these 10 days that he has been with us. We are spending the night in Hong Kong and will then begin the marathon of flights home tomorrow. We will have about a 26 hour day from wake up to setting feet in our home. Amongst the flights we will be mixing bottles, changing diapers, trying to catch a few zzz's.

Most of all we will be anticipating seeing our 3 other blessings and getting home and start life as a family of 6. We can hardly wait!
