The Williamson's

Last night was a little rough.  Danni got her head stuck in the crib rails.  Debi kept her in the bed the rest of the night.  We went shopping at a 3 story Walmart.  Yep, even in China we can find a Walmart.  It was a little different than Walmart’s in America but it was […]

WOW is all we can say! Today was a long day. We were all wide awake at 2AM. None of us could go back to sleep so we watched movies. We ate breakfast and went to the store before we left for the Civil Affairs office. When we first got to the Civil Affairs office, […]

We left our hotel at 5:00AM. We dropped off a few of the families who were going to another province before getting dropped off at our terminal. Our guide in Beijing traveled with us and 5 other families to Nanchang. We took a bus to the plane. We landed in Nanchang just after 12:00 Noon. […]

Today, we went to Tian An Men Square, Forbidden City, and the Great Wall. As we were driving to Tian An Men Square the guide told us that the buildings in Beijing were mixed between new and old buildings. He told us how there is no such thing as pedestrians have the ride of way. […]

First, Happy 70th Birthday Dad! We know there is a separate post about it but we wanted you to know we are thinking about you and miss you! After waking at 3:15AM on Thursday (11/18), we landed in Beijing at 4:39PM local time which is roughly 2:39AM Central Time. We had great flight attendents. Even […]

Happy 70th Birthday Dad!!! Sorry, we are missing your birthday! We will celebrate it when we get home. Love you and miss you! One of your favorite daughters is bring home a special little present from China. HINT: a chubby cheek little granddaughter (AKA MeiYing) for you to spoil!

We started out this morning at 3:00AM. Our flight left out of DFW on United at 6:30AM to San Francisco. We landed ahead of schedule which according to a frequent flyer on our flighgt from DFW to SFO that is not normal. The flights are normally late. We had lunch at 9:30AM PST and now […]

We leave in 1 day to China. Nick is super excited about it. If anyone asks him “how are you doing?”, he will answer the question then tell them “I am leaving for China on November 18th to get my baby sister.” He helped us put together her bed and pack over the weekend. We […]

1 week from today we will be relaxing in a hotel room at the airport. Our flight leaves at 6:30am. To eliminate anyone having to get up in the middle of the night to take us to the airport, we will be at the airport hotel. Our dear friend Chrissy will be taking us to […]

We started this adoption journey over 4 years ago. We aren’t quite sure what we have been doing for the last 4 years that we still aren’t ready to go, and we leave in less than 3 weeks. ACK! Her room became a storage room after the wait lengthen. We made lists for what to […]
