Our last weekend without Emily


We thought it would be fun to do one last "big-kid" event with the boys before we leave for China.  So, we decided to take them to the Great Wolf Lodge in Williamsburg, Virginia for the weekend.  The Great Wolf Lodge is an indoor water park full of slides and wave pools and other fun things to do in your bathing suit.  Our good friends Lena, Peter, Erik and Emma drove all the way down from Pennsylvania to join us.  We played at the water park yesterday, watched a magic show in the lobby and spent the night at the hotel.  And, Libby, Tom, Tommy and Joseph met us for breakfast this morning.  I took a couple of pictures of the kids this morning before they ran off to play in the  water park.  Steve and I are trying SO hard not to get sick that neither one of us went in the water all weekend.  Instead, we both drank Airborne and stayed dry!  I figure the LAST thing we need is to get sick while we are in China.

Ironically, the Great Wolf Lodge was full of families with adopted Chinese girls this weekend.  It turns out that a national group called "Our Chinese Daughters" was having some sort of a get together there this weekend.  I spoke with a couple of the families.  There had to be at least 75 Chinese adoptees there.  I think that must be some kind of good omen for us.  Don't you?

It's hard to believe that one week from now Emily will be with us!
