They are shortly starting the journey HOME!

Good afternoon everyone,

I was speaking with James this morning around 7:30am and he was just getting in from having Peking Duck with Brian and Noah and Ellen their guide. James loved the duck but it was definitely not a hit with Presley. She didn't eat anything and just finished some noodles in the room when they got back. James said she was tired and crashed as soon as she got in her nightgown.

James finally made it to Silk Road and made some purchases. He spent about 3 hours or more there. He loves it!
They returned to the hotel, had some lunch and then began packing the suitcase for the trip home. James indicated that he can't wait to be home, he has missed us all and is so excited for all of us to finally meet Presley.

They have a wake up call for 5am (5pm our time) to get up and get ready. They are heading to the airport around 6:30 (they are taking their breakfast with them and eating on the way). Their flight is from Beijing to Tokyo (layover for 2 hours) then Tokyo to Detroit(almost 12 hour flight) and then a layover for 2 hours and then home...1 hour and 40 minutes.

I hear snow is in the forecast for tomorrow night...let's just hope there is no blizzard still following James. I will be calling him Mr. Snow from now on..LOL

So I don't think I will be hearing from them in the morning as they will be busy and have lots to do...no more pictures will be coming until he gets home.

James says Presley loves it when he says..Chin Chin Baba(kiss daddy) and then she says Chin Chin Mama and blows a kiss to the wind...I can't wait to catch it!

TOMORROW NIGHT BABY...FINALLY YOU WILL BE HOME! I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!!

Thanks for following along on our journey...now a new chapter of the journey begins..
Say a prayer that all goes well for my angel as we have 2 weeks of doctor appointments coming up. Let's pray for good news!

Hugs,
Karen

Karen,

God Bless You for all you do. You have given these children hope and a future - but mostly, you have given them love and understanding which is the most important thing to a child. Presley is going to thrive with her life with you. Thank you people like you are in this world.
