Checking in from Beijing
Why am I posting from Beijing? Because I can!

We are packing up this morning to leave for Tianjin. It's a couple of hours away by bus. Then tomorrow we meet Micah for the first time! I'm scared and excited. But that's what it's all about!!!!!

When you first see Micah, make a point to remember your first thought and how you feel. My kids ask this of me a lot and at first I really had to think about it because I was so overwhelmed with emotions!!
Goosebumps for you and dh!!
