That's so wonderful that Daisy will be traveling with you! I wish any of our Chinese exchange students could have come when we got Caroline. Someday I'd love to take her to Beijing to meet them. Even better would be to take her to Hainan Island to meet my student, Sherry and her parents. Hainan is like Hawaii! :)

You are in Beijing and on your way to Pearl. We're very excited for you! Too bad we can't meet you in GZ for a red couch picture and for dinner but we'll be there in spirit. (At least you get to stay at the White Swan this time!)

Can't wait to see pics of you all in China! All the best....

So glad to see you finally on your way to pick up our new cousin. We can hardly wait until she and you all arrive back here in the USA. Hope that we will get to see all of you again soon.
