We're in China!

We made it! It has been a very, very long journey to get here, but we are finally at our hotel in Nanjing. It took 27 hours from the time we left our house until the time we checked into our hotel here. Now it's the middle of the night, but Dave and I are wide awake and hungry for lunch :) We were able to use Skype to call my mom's house to check on the boys and it sounds like all is going pretty well there.

We will meet Miss Marley Rae Xinhe Huffman tomorrow at 1:30pm China time (we're 13 hours ahead of east coast time at home). Hopefully we'll be able to post pictures soon after we are back here with her. She may not be smiling in the pictures, as I'm sure tomorrow will be a very traumatic day for her, but she's stuck with us! So we'll muddle through and do our best to love on her and help her adjust to her new very tall, English speaking, strange-looking parents!

Congratulations on your adorable new daughter! I'm so sorry about your pets. We also lost a pet recently. Our cat was 15 and after using her 9 lives, her kidneys couldn't take it anymore. It is painful but I hope you will get a new pet when your ready. It can really help. We have 3 cats again with our newest addition, Voodoo.
I hope you have a wonderful time in China!
