48 hours

It's Thursday afternoon, October 12th. Our flight leaves tomorrow to Beijing, and then we get Zane on Saturday. We're taking Mary Grace with us, and she is both excited and nervous. I think she feels the impending de-thronement, and is perceptively uptight.

Tickets secured, four different hotels reserved, visas obtained, hearts prepared. We're ready.

Going to try to figure out how to post a photo on this little blog....but it may be technologically out-of-reach, so don't get your hopes up.

We had hoped to have Zane by now, but October isn't too far behind our schedule.

Let the bonding begin.
