We are systematically (and frantically) pulling all paperwork together needed for the trip. Five copies of this, 3 copies of that, etc. Thank goodness that we organized all our documents so well back during the paper chase days. It's been relatively easy to pull everything together. Our agency, Heart-to-Heart, has been great, and our in-China facilitator Our Daughters of China Foundation is in high gear and a pleasure to work with. Constantin, Joseph, and Emma (aka Mom) will be leaving on the 8th. I think Mom's biggest concern is that she can only bring 1 suitcase and even at that, she needs to leave 1/3rd free for Katerina "stuff" as do Constantin and Joseph. Mom usually brings 3 suitcases for a 2-day stay because "You never know what you'll want to wear and what the weather will be like".

It was mentioned to me today by my good friend Barbara AKA Boss that we need to clear up one thing.
Emma must be AKA Grandma because my sister Kris must now take the title of AKA Mom.
Congratulations Mom
Oh Yea that would also make Constantin AKA Dad and my Father Bob AKA Gramps.
I love your BLOG! You're so creative -- what a great way to keep up and answer so many of our questions all at the same time.
We are beaming with excitement for you all and can't wait to see current pictures of Katerina esp. with Constantin and the rest of your family on the daily Blog!!!
