This is it from China. Next time you hear from us we will be home. We may be spending the night in Chicago rather than doing the whole journey at one time so it could be Sunday before we re-appear.
We had another fun day and tidied up some last minute odds and ends and Jacob bought a picture of the 4 of us standing on a bridge here in China. We really didn't think we had bought so much stuff until we tried to fit it in our luggage. Since we already had 3 cases buying another one was out of the question since we have to maneuver this lot through the airport! I had completely forgotten how much stuff a baby requires. My carry on is filled to the bursting point and I must confess some overspill has landed in lily's bag.
Please send happy thoughts our way for a smooth flight with Miss Rose. Lily isn't a concern she is an angel on planes but Miss Roses' opinion of flying remains to be seen. Hopefully the fact that she can't walk yet will encourage her to stay seated.
I will leave here with a heavy heart knowing that it is the birthplace of my girls and that we are leaving it all behind again. A chapter is ending and a new and much brighter one is starting.
Andie, having you here has been magic. We could have done it without you but we wouldn't have wanted to and it wouldn't have been so much fun. The girls love you dearly, as do we and words aren't enough to thank you.
The wires for the camera are all packed away but we have a really funny video from today when Rose tried to run away. We were packing and Lily suddenly said, "Rosie is leaving", and indeed she was. She was out of the door. She had the decency wave bye bye as she rounded the corner.
We are off to bed as we have an ugly wake up call coming in very soon.
Thanks so much to all of you for following along. To my family I will ring you once we are home.
Love
Us.
