We're Here!!!!

After 27 hours of airplanes and airports, we can FINALLY say we are in CHINA!!!!
I am LITERALLY about to pass out into a rather hard bed, but I just wanted to let everyone know that we made it safe and sound. It's 1:00 a.m. here, and we just got into our room. Hotel is beautiful, our guide is GREAT....and we get to hold Adelina in a day and a half!!! :):):):)
June 2 at 2:30 p.m. (2:30 a.m. Tennessee time)

The "other" Kiddos ;-)




This is for all of you out in cyberland, or for those who haven't seen us for awhile. :)
Just a few, fun candid shots of Kyra and Isaac.
Kyra is 7 1/2, full of spunk and life. Isaac is almost 4, and 100% boy, while at the same time being a serious Mama's boy. He'll make some woman very happy one day (or insane...not sure which. ;)
