I have made it safe and sound to our son's homeland. I am doing well even though I am very tired. I am filled with such eager anticipation as tomorrow is the day I finally meet our son and brother Elliott.

I arrived at Grand Noble Hotel Xi'an on Sunday evening, 29 hours from the time I left our home. I quickly hooked up the computer to skype home and was able to communicate with home. Ethan, Emily and Evelyn were very excited and wanted to know when I meet Elliott. Ethan was getting ready to leave with our friends for lunch and swimming at the local YMCA. Emily was ready to leave with our friends for lunch and a movie Hop. Evelyn was going to play with Great Grandma and Daddy.

I pray that God gives Elliott the wisdom to be open to meeting his mother for the first time and our family strength to provide ease for his adjustment.

We have been so overwhelmed with love, support and contined encouragement we have gotten on this journey.
Thank you !
