Here we go!!!

It is finally that time. The time we head to China to bring home baby brother!!! Jaden and I are packed along with Warren but Rusty is another story! He has not packed the first thing! We leave bright and early tomorrow and will arrive in Beijing at 2:30PM Thursday in China or 2:30 am in Ohio! We will be blogging on Warren's blog for his trip. You can follow us at http://ourchinesetiger.blogspot.com/ . The plan is to update as often as a 2 & 3 year old will let me! For now I will leave you with this picture that made this all pretty real for me!

China family reunion!

This weekend was the weekend we wait for all year! The reunion when our China family gets together! Usually we do it in July but we moved it to October this year. And because I am crazy like that, we had it here just a little over a week before we head to China! But all the fretting and stress is worth it to see these families and to have our girls together once again! The weekend started with the families coming to our house for pizza and cake!
On Friday it was off to the zoo!
Friday night we had planned on going to Amy's for chili! But when we got there we were surprised to see that our wonderful family had planned a surprise send off for our trip to China! It meant so much to me that they thought of us! Warren got some wonderful gifts and we got more yummy cake!!!
Saturday we headed down to the pumpkin farm! We love this farm and I think the kids had a pretty good time!
The reunion ended Saturday night back at our house where we had take out Chinese and the kids got to wear their costumes!
We had a great time and we are already looking forward to the next time we get together with our family!
