Best of all, we have a 4 am wake-up call tomorrow morning! We must be up with bags packed and outside our hotel door by 5 am, and ready to load the bus to the airport at 5:30 am. We then catch an 8:30 flight to Xi'an, where we will check into a our new hotel and then sometime after that - it's LIA TIME!
Needless to say I don't have time to get into details or post many of the 320 photos Steve took today - but here are a couple from the Great Wall to tide you all over...
Next post from Xi'an...WITH LIA!!!! :)

Seriously...I am crying again. I am gonna be a basketcase in the morning. :)
It's funny, since you've been gone, I have not been able to sleep at all. I have been waking up at 6am on the nose every morning...and I check your blog knowing you will be posting before you go to bed. Anyways...these photo's are amazing..it's hard to believe you are a world away...even HARDER to believe that you will have your sweet baby girl in the next 24 hours. Our family will be forever changed and blessed from this day forward! I love you and Steve! Stay safe and enjoy EVERY moment of this next day!
I am LOVING your posts and waiting anxiously to see you with Lia!
It may feel like you are taking a lot of photos, but take LOTS and LOTS of photos. An excessive amount. You will never think they are enough. Snap at EVERYTHING.
Sending you so much love from Colorado! Woo hoo!
XXXOOO, Holly
Julie I am so excited for you guys. Its kind of funny, Just reading a little bit about your trip so far brings back memories from my trip to China when i was 13. We went to a Jade factory too...and sometime I will have to tell you the story of my sister getting ill in traffic on our way to the Great Wall! LOL. Then one of our plains landing about 100 yards short of the run way, that was interesting! I'm sitting here in St. Louis dreaming of you meeting Lia for the first time! So touching! :) Be safe and healthy!
Once again, getting teary eyed! I CANNOT wait to see the post when you meet Lia. I can only imagine the flood of emotion when you see her for the first time. Thanks again for the great pictures and posts. Can't wait for tomorrow morning! =)
Holding our breath for tomorrow. Been having internet problems and feel like telling the IP . . . don't you know tomorrow is LIA DAY ! All our love, Ray, Kathy and Grandma (Great-Grandma)
If I'm correct on the time difference, you're boarding that bus RIGHT NOW!!!! Oh I'm so excited for you and I bet you slept MAYBE an hour last night!! We're all anxiously checking your blog for the latest...I'm sure your heart is exploding with joy in route to be with Lia. Congrats again - love to you both and see you soon!
: )
Holding my breath....Lia has no idea the blessing that is about to take place in her life (and yours). What a lucky little girl! A beautiful match made in heaven.
Can't wait for the next post. xoxo
I am so happy for you and Steve and can't wait to see pictures and the posts once you get Lia! I remember when you started this journey!
Our love is with you guys!
Alaina, Bill and Hannah
