We're off to Xian!!!




Hey everybody...it is 6am Tuesday here so 5:00pm Monday there...we are about to get on the van to go to the airport to get lily! Can't talk long cuz the bellman will be here to get the bags! By the time you read our next post, Lily will be united with her Forever Family and I can FINALLY take a deep breath (and a nap)!


My legs are VERY sore today, but Pete is feeling great. In fact, he is thinking of moving to China because he has so much in common with the local folk!


Gotta Run!




Love you all!!!!

Pete, Deb and Sophie;

We just received your New Years Card and we are very excited for you all! This is a great thing that you are doing.

We adopted a 3 year old girl a year and a half ago and it has been an unbelievable experience.

We will keep you in our prayers.

Enjoy the journey,

Nicole, Cyndie and Philip Larrivee

I think by the time you get home and adjusted, I will have this blog thing figured out. I have googled maps and the places you are and where you are going to show Emily and Katie. Thanks for the letter so we can follow along.
Congratulations and much happiness with the beginning of a new chapter in all of your lives. Don't worry Debbie, your a great person and not scary at all! Lily will love all of you.
Chris, Bill, Emily & Katie

Hey Guys! It's so incredibly exciting to see your family in China. You are so blessed to be adopting a beautiful little girl. I can't wait to see "the picture" of the four of you together. Tell Sophie that Adrienne and Madeline said "hello!" They both ask me EVERY day if it's time for Sophie to come home. Adrienne is really anxious to see Sophie. You have taken some wonderful pictures of local culture and it looks like you guys are having a great time. Be safe and may God continue to bless. All of you are in my thoughts and prayers. Can't wait to meet Lily!!!
