Nanjing Arrival

We made our way to Nanjing yesterday afternoon.  We had a short 2 hour flight and arrived at the Nanjing Central Hotel.  Brandon better live it up while he's here because our house certainly isn't as nice as this hotel room.  Adam has found his way down to the fitness center for a work out before our BIG afternoon.  We leave the hotel at 2:00 to head to the Civil Affairs office to meet Brandon for "Gotcha Day!"  I have been busy getting things ready to take with us.  We have to take presents to give to the Orphanage Director and the Head Nanny.  How do you say "thank you" enough to the people who have taken care of our son for the last year and a half?  We will have a family photo taken and also will have to sign some papers.  We go back tomorrow to sign the official documents and wait for them to be processed throughout the week.  We stay in Nanjing until Friday.  When we entered our room last night, we saw the most lovely sight....a sweet little crib for our precious son.  It's empty now but will soon be filled with the gift we have been waiting a long time for!
