1 More Day!

One more day and we will be blessed to have Miss Miah in our family. Drew and his parents arrived safely at the hotel in Shanghai. Drew said that the "Trip was good from Vancouver for all three of us, but none of us slept, so we are going to grab a quick bite and then head off to bed. We are departing to the train station tomorrow (Sunday) around 1pm local time (which would be 10pm Saturday your time)." We are going to try our first Skype session tonight before they take the train to Nanjing.

Get ready Miah...Daddy is coming to get you!

2 More Days Until Gotcha Day!

UPDATE: They are getting close. Just north of Japan now! This was posted at 8:00 pm our time.


Today Drew and his parents leave for China. He awoke to the news of a small plane crash at the Vancouver airport and news about an Earthquake in China...not the comforting words you want to hear before you leave! Their flight leaves Vancouver this morning at 11:00 am and gets in just after midnight our time (4:00 pm Shanghai time.) We are prying for a safe journey and that they have no problems at the "Flu Screening" checkpoints in Shanghai. Drew thanks everyone for your prayers.

3 More Days!

Today I am proud of my husband. Today he is one of the bravest men I know. Today he is my hero! We dropped him off this afternoon at the Airport for his flight to Vancouver. The next time we see him will be on the 24th when we pick him and Miah up in Vancouver. I will continue to be proud of him...as I watch him carry our new daughter in his arms. I love you Drew! You are a great Daddy! (Side note on my parenting ability...we got all the way to the airport only to discover that Madison was not wearing any shoes!!!)


Tomorrow he will meet his parents at the airport bright and early tomorrow morning. We are doing some last minute packing and I am actually glad I don't have to worry about packing for the girls and I ...there is so much to pack already without us adding our belongings. Drew thanks everyone for the well wishes...he is nervous but excited.

4 Days!

Today we got an update. Drew will meet Miah at 10:00 am China time (So that would be 7:00 pm local time on Sunday night!) How am I ever going to make it through the KDC training night? I think my mom is going to come over and watch over the computer for me!

5 More Days!

6 More Days!

6 more days (or should I say 6 more sleeps) until Drew gets to meet Miah! The countdown is on! This morning we made sure both web cams are working as well as the mics. We are hopeful that we will be able to communicate through our computers while Drew is travelling and to be able to watch Miah as she plays in the hotel room! I think the girls and I will be having a late night on Sunday waiting for those first images to arrive!

2 Years Today!

Two years ago today the CCAA received our completed dossier. At that time we were expecting to wait about one year for a referral...how things have changed since then. However, God knew that just two months later our daughter would be born. Drew and his parents leave for China in 8 more days! Today we spent the day buying last minute items needed for travel and touching up the paint in Miah and Mackenzie's room.
