Our plane landed in Jinan around 6:45pm. All of our flights were very comfortable and smooth. God gave me the peace and calm that I needed. We met with Michael, our guide, and then went to go get our luggage. We could not find it and were told it could possibly still be in Louisville. We filled out paperwork before leaving the airport. To make a long story short, the airport called and said they found it. It is in Beijing and we should have it tomorrow (Sunday). Let's hope and pray! There is no way that I could replace everything that I would need here in China. I have no formula, diapers or any of our clothes, medications (well I don't have much of anything). We will go to a local grocery for anything we might need for her until we get our luggage. Right now that just doesn't seem to matter. We're getting our daughter tomorrow!!!!!
Well on to the good stuff! We found out tonight that we will get Mollie at 9:30 in the morning!!!!! That is literally 6 hours away! We are so excited and God is so good!!!! I still can't believe that we are that close to holding our daughter.
After getting checked in to the hotel, we met Ralf and Carol, the other family adopting. They too will meet their daughter in the morning. We had dinner with them and Michael tonight at Pizza Hut. They are a very sweet couple and seem like lots of fun.
I have not slept much at all in the past 2 days and can't sleep now! I am way too excited. As I type, David is snoring away! ZZZZZZ He can always sleep!
Andrew, Emily, Nathan & Grace ~ we love you all very much! We will be home before you know it. I will post pictures of your new baby sister as soon as I can. Hang in there!
Well, I better go for now and try to get at least a couple hours asleep! When I write next, I'll be a mom to 5!

Congratulations Lawsons! So exciting to see you in Jinan, finally. I hope your luggage shows up quickly... what a bummer. Love the pics of Pizza Hut... makes me miss it!

Barb and David,
Have been praying for you since you left. I'm so glad the flight went well and you are at peace. Can't wait to see the pictures. You get her in just 1 1/2 hours!!! Have been checking in with Emily. She is going to Sojourn with us tomorrow then out to lunch. All is well here! Love you.
