At the airport!!!

We are flying out in just a few hours to China!! The day has finally arrived! I don't know how to put words to how I feel... the emotion is too great.  I can hardly even believe we made it here... We are just about to be on the same time zone as our babies. 

We are flying from Atlanta to Tokyo to Beijing today - loooooong flight!  This time we decided to make our trip shorter and aren't doing any of the tours in Beijing. Our travel time will be brutal. We are flying 14 hours to Tokyo, then 4 1/2 to Beijing. We land in Beijing at 10:30pm Saturday, sleep and wake up to catch a 9am flight to Zhengzhou. This is my biggest worry - please pray for our flights, and rest before we get the babes.  MONDAY we will have Ian and Jovie - that's Sunday night in the US (we are 13 hours ahead). 



I love that my mom and dad are going with us. This sweet picture just shows how beneficial they are to us and loving on Mae while Cody and I are giving our attention to Ian and Jovie. 

I will keep blogging our trip every day. We cherish all of our friends and family so much. I can not thank you enough for all the texts, comments and calls - although the last couple days have been crazy and I haven't been able to respond like I wanted. 

We will be so excited every day to check our comments here to see who is following our biggest adventure (:
