We Have Travel Dates!

Yay!!!! We don't have the details of each day yet, but we do have some dates to share!

Mr. G. is leaving for China at 6am out of the Binghamton Airport on March 27th! He will fly to Dulles International in Washington, DC, and then on to Beijing, China! I will share more information later once we have it all.

He will be returning home on April 15th! We'll be greeting him at the Binghamton Airport at 2:05pm. The timing is perfect, because the entire family is on spring break for the rest of that week. Katie will get to spend a lot of time with her brothers and sisters!

I can't wait to tell you about all of the adventures in between these dates! Stay tuned! :-)

Here's a Question for All of the Kids Out There!

Let's see if we have anyone out there who is really good at solving problems!

When Katie leaves China on the airplane, she will leave Beijing at 6:30pm on
April 14th. Then she will arrive in Washington, DC at 7:44pm, also on April 14th.

China is on the other side of the world, so how does she travel here in that amount of time?

See if you can figure it out!

WE HAVE TRAVEL APPROVAL!!!

Woo Hoo!!!

We just learned today that Mr. G. has been approved to travel to China to bring Katie home! By the middle of next week, we will know the exact dates. We think he will leave on March 27th, though! Wow, that's in less than two weeks!!

We have a LOT of things to do this weekend to get ready for her. Mr. G. is packing a suitcase full of gifts for the children from Katie's orphanage and for her nannies. We have to make sure we have everything ready for her that she will need here.

If everything goes the way we think it will, she will arrive home during our spring vacation. That will be nice because her brothers and sisters will be home that week and can spend it with her.

Stay tuned...we'll post updates as soon as we have them!

Still No Travel Approval :-(

We're patiently (or maybe not so patiently) waiting for travel approval to bring Katie home. We thought we'd get the call this week, but it looks like we'll hear something next week instead. Approximately 3 weeks after that, Mr. G. will be going to China!
