I thought there were a few folks LURKING around out there.
:-)
I'm so happy you decided to delurk and leave a comment.
Thanks EVERYONE for all of the kind words. It's been one incredible day for Naomi & I. One that we will remember forever.
I lost track of how many emails we've received and sent out. Each time I clear the inbox more appear. And that is GREAT! Keep them coming!
I posted the first message to this site on October 20th, 2003. Here we are 14 months later. And it was worth every single day that we had to wait.
Thanks again. I'll post more info after we get the package tomorrow!
What an awesome day!

I saw your blog site from work and saw your beautiful daughter! Congratulations!
My wife and I are in travel group 715 with you and also have a daughter in Youxian SWI. We are in Greenville, SC.
We look forward to getting to know you and Naomi better before our trip to China.
Regards,
