Hi All




Well I am new to all this blog stuff but am trying so hopefully it works and bear with me through the next three weeks...It is 10:00 am we are through security and at the gate waiting for another two hours..the luggage was the right weight for this trip (under 50 lbs) but I have to get them down to under 44llbs fot the intra-china airlines....we will be in Beijing tomorrow until Sunday.....when we fly to Nanchang in Jinagix for the big event...Leaving my house today was bittersweet I am so happy to be embarking on this new journey yet a little sad to leave existence with Colton as I know it....Curiously it is the same feeling I had just over 5 years ago when I left for Morristown memorial to give birth. I was so sad to leave Colton this morning but know it for the best given the situation with the virus in Jiangxi and the flooding in Guangzhou..I took one last photo of us this morning before my parents took him off for a fun filed day at the Little Y for camp...he is looking forward to seeing his best buddies Myles and Soren there and then spending the afternoon with them at our house...Thanks to all who have offered to help out with him while we are away. It means alot...Until next time...Lisa

Hi Lisa and Brian!!

This is really great! I had no idea we'd be able to follow your journey so closely. I saw Colton this morning when I dropped Soren off and the two of them were super happy to hang out together. Just remember, it is harder for you to be away from him than the other way (i learn it every time i'm away on business...and your trip is for a much better reason!!). We are thinking of you constantly.

love,
vanessa and sal

Hi Lisa and Brian:
I am so happy to read this happy exciting blog and even happier to be welcoming home Claudia soon. The kids are so excited, when they are done playing outside I am going to let the girls read the blog to Michael and Jessie. I love you both so much and I am amazed at just how incredible this journey is and the love you two share for this beautiful baby. I miss you already.
Love,
Mike and Debbie
