On to Zhengzhou

Still not adjusting to jetlag...we were all up by 4:30 am but we had to meet in the lobby at 7 am anyway to travel to the Beijing airport to fly on to Zhengzhou. We got in to Zhengzhou early Sunday afternoon (late Saturday night U.S. time). A rep from each family (mainly just the fathers) met with our guide and we walked to the bank to exchange $$ for some of the larger fees left to pay over the next couple of days. It was weird to see banks open on Sundays!!

Since we were given a little more info on our children we all walked (about 20 minutes) to the local Wal-Mart to pick up a few items (such as the brand of formula they are using). Weird to see live bull frogs and turtles in the meat section of the store...as well as a sting ray and eels on ice. Not sure why you'd want a bull frog though...as it costs about as much as a whole chicken, not much meat there comparatively. There were also a lot of street venders selling IPADs and other tech accessories (so if anyone wants me to pick one up real cheap just let me know....kinda doubt they come with a warranty...or that they're made by Apple).

Anyways, all this is interesting but really has no bearing on why we're here....it is already "Gotcha Day" here in China for us!!!! As I write, it is almost 6 am and in just a few hours we will be going to the registration office to pick up Mishiah!!!! One of the coolest things we realized upon getting to our room is that we are in the exact same room that we had when we received Azriah!! We double checked that in our pics from 2.5 years ago to verify. We also have some of the same guides as well and were happy to see Azriah again. In any event, we will try to post some pics this afternoon/evening of Mishiah (which will be early Monday morning U.S. time).

Thank you for keeping us in your prayers!
