Hi all, we have finally started collecting all the items we are supposed to be taking with us to China. It is a pretty long list and I wonder if we really need to bring a weed whacker and post hole digger?? We bought diapers (not sure what these will be used for but it can't be good), cold medicines, thermometers (you stick it where?), fever meds and wipes of all kinds. Something tells me we should be wearing plastic bags as our clothing of choice...
Here is a picture of one of the two quilts K's mom quilted for us (the back of each one is a different colour - one yellow and one blue). She had to hustle a bit on the second one after realizing we were getting twins but still managed to get it done in lots of time (and they look great). Our nephews who are 9 and 6 also helped grandma on the project! Thanks J and M!!
The Chinese symbol to the left is "rooster" which is significant because the girls were born in the Year of the Rooster. So was I (just not the same year...)
Our Chinese friend Jie found us an English map of Jiangxi province. We will be staying in a hotel in the capital city of Nanchang while we spend the first week there (some paperwork and some sight-seeing). The girls are from Leping, which is to the east of Nanchang and slightly north. We may get to go back to Leping to see the orphanage if the travel guide organizes that for us. It is hard to find Leping on most maps since it is so small compared to other Chinese cities - it has only 750,000 people!!
See a picture of the map below. HINT: look under cat.

Yes, and unfortunately that package of diapers that looks so huge, will last you oh I would say 6-7 days max!!!!

I think the cat is beginning to suspect something...and are those suitcases actually packed, or did you just use them as props?

I see your cat has the same propensity for travel as mine does...
I have something to add to your pharmacy (if I can ever remember to take it to church...)
And you know, if you adopt a four-year old next time, you won't need any diapers...!
