We have travel approval and tentative dates!

Our tentative dates to travel to China are:

Depart LAX on July 23rd or 24th and return from China around August 10th. Yes folks , that's less than 2 weeks away. We are scrambling to get prepared and to arrange for the boys' care while we're gone.

Our itinerary will be Beijing- for orientation then to Jiangxi (pink province in the lower right side of map)- to pick our baby girl, then to Guangdong to do official document processing.

Jeff's working hard to finish the tile in the new addition for the final inspection. Colette is refinishing Mei Mei's dresser.

So much to do and so little time!!!!!

Home from Colorado!

We just got back from a wonderful trip to Colorado. We met Jeff's family (Grandma and Grandpa, Pam and Family) at Snow Mountain Ranch. It is a beautiful YMCA family camp. Despite the effects of the bark beetle infestation (lots of brown trees) we had a good time (hiking, river rafting, hoseback ride, and fishing).

Before heading home we visited Durango, Colorado with Grandma and Grandpa. We took the Durango- Silverton steam train ride through the red cliffs and deep river gorges. It was breathtaking.

JuJu got help from Grandpa carving his walking stick.

Gabriel riding Samson the horse.

We all had a good time but the boys are happy to be home to their toys and dog.

PS Thank you to Grandma Mary and Grandpa for the Super Hero costumes. They are a big hit!
