Hong Kong at Last!

Hi Everyone, we made it to Hong Kong! The flight went well and Colin was great. He only cried when we were coming in for the landing because his ears hurt. He slept for 7 1/2 hours on the flight, so I'm sure that he will not sleep tonight. Dennis and I slept a little bit and are dragging, but excited. Tomorrow, we fly to Nanchang and go to the Gloria Plaza Hotel. I'll post more when we get there!

We're In Newark!

As I write this, we are sitting in the Newark Liberty Airport. Our flight from Boston was short! Colin did a great job. He was mesmerized looking out the window during takeoff and landing. We have another 3 hours until our flight leaves for Hong Kong. We're going to have some lunch and then let Colin run around so that hopefully he'll konk out on the plane! I'll post tomorrow when we get to the airport in Hong Kong!

We're off in the Morning!

We are heading to the airport tomorrow morning at 6:30! Everything is packed and we are just finishing up Tatum's room.

To all my girls at National's...I love you and am so proud of the hard work you put in this year. Focus, breathe, work together, and have fun. Go out there and nail everything! I'll be thinking about you on the plane. Don't forget to email me how you did. I'll see you soon!
Love,
Ms. Debbi

Strawberry Picking

Yesterday, Colin and I went strawberry picking for the first time. I was a little worried, but he loved it! We took a tractor ride to the fields with our friends from next door. Colin started out by shoving a whole strawberry into his mouth! He helped me pick the strawberies and enjoyed tossing them into the basket. Of course, we had some half eaten ones and some pretty white ones too! It was great and we can't wait until the raspberries are in season. Next time, I'll have both kids to help me pick! Now I have to figure out what to do with all of these strawberries!

On another note, we leave a week from today! Tatum's room is almost done and the packing is moving along. We can't wait to meet our little girl! Every time Colin sees a baby, he says "Ta?" I think he's pretty excited too!

Consulate Appointment!

We have received our consulate appointment for July 16th! That means that we leave on July 4th. We will land in Hong Kong on July 5th, stay overnight and fly into Nanchang on the 6th. We meet Tatum on the 7th! That is the 16th anniversary of Dennis and I meeting. Pretty cool! We are going to come home on the 19th after spending a day in Hong Kong Disney with the kids.
Seven flights in 11 days. I hope Colin likes planes! I hope Tatum does too! I better make sure I have enough toys packed. (and maybe some earplugs for those sitting around us!)


Now to start packing and finish up our little girl's room! We're so excited to be so close!
