Leaving for Hong Kong...



Andrew slept through the night.  Up at about 6 am.  We don’t have anything to do today except wait for our time to leave for the train station.  Went to breakfast and saw two of the other families from our group.  Went to the lobby so that we could say goodbye to everyone.  It was sad to be leaving them, but we are ready to go home.  They all were headed to their consulate appointments and then they are going to Shaymen island for the day.  After they left we all went to the fourth floor playground and played outside for about an hour.  Played with bubbles and got in the swing for a little while.  Came back to the room and skyped with papaw and Kortney and the kids.  While we were in the room we got a call from John and he said that everyone was in the lobby and we were going to have a group picture taken.  I am so glad we got to see everyone one last time.  After the picture they all got in the van and we walked to the 7/11 for noodles for lunch.  Had lunch in our room and Andrew finally fell asleep at about 12:30.  We have to check out of our room at 14:00, but don’t get picked up for the train until 15:15.  It is very hot and extremely humid outside today.  We will probably go back to the 4th floor playground while we wait.  We will be headed to Hong Kong and will spend the night there tonight and get on the plane back to Chicago tomorrow morning.  I am sure it seems like we have been gone for a long time, but I cannot believe how quickly the time has gone.  Everything has gone so well and we have really enjoyed the time we have had to bond with Andrew.  Looking forward to getting to share our wonderful son with all of you.  Thanks for all the prayers, they have been answered!  Please pray now for a good plane ride for all of us.  We will see you soon!!

Love,
Kimberly, Jason, and Andrew
