We arrived safely. It was a very long flight. I never knew a person could feel like a sardine, but we sure did. 16 hours in an airplane! The plane was big but not as big as I thought it would be.
 
God in His infinite wisdom and grace brought us through, and just like God he always has a plan. Sitting next to us on the airplane was an Asian woman and her five year old son with Downs syndrome. We immediately bonded with them. We were able to answer a lot of questions for her, as her journey with Chris was in its infancy. The other great thing, is they live in the United states, so we exchanged business cards, and she spoke and read Chinese. This was great for us, because we were finally able to get Hannah's medical information sheets read. So we found out that Hannah does sleep all night, but only if she is fed well. So I guess our little Hannah takes after her big sister who was the same way. We also were able to find out what her shot record said.

Today is March 5 over in China but is the end of the day of March 4 for you. We will spend today with our guide who is taking us to see the Lost City, and the Great Wall of China. If there is time we will visit a government owned silk shop. At any rate it will be a 12 hour excursion. We have already seen many families who already have there little girls. These families are from all over the place. And check this out prayer team---The first families we saw with their new little adopted babies spoke French and were from France. God always has a sense of humor. We are enjoying meeting everyone, but realize how truly blessed we are to live in the United States.

Talk to you tomorrow. Guess what tomorrow is? Its GET HANNAH DAY!! We fly out again, in the morning, and will be getting her. Church pray for us, as you will be in church and we will be in the airplane again, on our way to Changsha, where we will finally meet our baby. God bless you all, and keep us in your prayers as well as the country of China.
