China or bust: We are running out of time

Somebody better call 'em and tell 'em we ain't gonna make it.

We got our paperwork, we got a shirt on the back. I guess that's all we need.

We wish you lots of luck. Make sure to relax and have fun. Take your time to see the sights and take lots of photos.
Also, most anything you forget can be purchased in Beijing. The most important thing to remember is any medication you might need - it is almost impossible to find American medicine in China.
We were in China at this time last year receiving our daughter. I am Lily's mom. I have spoken with you at Conway Regional while swimming.
The most important thing - do not drink any water unless it is bottled and do not eat any raw fruits or vegetables. Even just a piece of lettuce can make you very sick!
Have a great time and we cannot wait to see all of you at the pool!

It will be easy for me to remember the day you officially received her, since that is also my birthday (Dec. 18th.). December is a great month for birthdays.

Take lots of photos so we can keep up with your progress and see how beautiful your daughter is.

Merry Christmas!
