It's 4 days before we leave and time to start packing. OK, everyone else has been doing this for weeks now, but we're experienced China travellers and we're not planning on bringing all the stuff we did last time. The three duffle bags came down last night, and we'll start putting things together today/tomorrow. Clothes, antibiotics, all our paperwork, and electronics - see, a short list :) We'll just purchase whatever else we need overseas. We still need to put together the Qianjiang photo collages to bring, asking the orphanage Director if we happen to already have photos of any of the aunties who took care of Chloe (while she was there) or Lily; Sunday is getting to be an ever-busier day for me.
Chloe had a great time at Disney last w/e, even though Daddy forgot to bring her blue flower swimsuit ring; she made do with the "wife jakit" that the Boardwalk pool had instead, and pretty much jumped in and swam all over for several hours over a couple days with or without our consent it seemed. How we're ever going to leave this little girl on Tuesday night and go away for two weeks escapes me; I hope she does better than we're likely to.... and given her learning progress rate lately, she'll probably be doing long division and writing a followup to Harry Potter 7 when we get back.
We'll post as often as we can, including movies and pix of Lily so let's hope that she does a few cute things along the way. And maybe by the time we get home, she won't be in time-out anymore -- Chloe's been saying this a lot lately talking about her little sister, but it's not quite clear why baby Lily is spending so much time there.
