Well, I am trying to be organized enough to share our upcoming journey to China. I will post our travel plans and any updates that we have here for everyone who wants to follow our trip. So far, we have few details although I know that our dossier has gone to China. We do not know whether or not it has been "logged in" by the Chinese government. Typically we travel around 100 days or so after it has been logged in.
In the meantime, I thought I would share a few pictures of the rest of us along the way. The boys are happy and healthy this fall and Liam is eagerly awaiting his little sister. Darren, I have the feeling may not be as thrilled at the beginning as he really is finally bonding and loving being near his Mom and Dad. 
This is a picture of our little Nora Meili. This is our ONLY real picture of her. We have one that is super poor quality and one close up of one side of her head. Her most recent update was at 14 months and she is 20 months now. We all think she is as cute as a button and Liam is spending every moment at any store choosing outfits for his little sister. Right now, he is on a quest for a "rainbow" bow for her hair.
I have been on Youtube, trying to find pictures of Baotou and Inner Mongolia. It looks quite remote even though it is not really that far from Beijing (2 hours flying due west) - It is a poor area of China with high unemployment and has cold winters. The main industries seem to be dairy farming and heavy industry. The landscape is beautiful - dry northern desert with wild horses and sand dunes. She will definitely be a northern girl.
The boys were playing the piano and were so cute! Mostly it's trucks racing around the house so I had to get a picture.
