Well we're off! We have now been on planes for almost 12 hours. We can not wait to see our little Olivia. We have so much on our minds that it is hard to sleep. The ride to Chicago was very quick because we had a friend in the air traffic control business who cleared the way. We left a few minutes late and arrived about 20 minutes ahead of schedule. Got to love that! (thanks G-man).

We wandered around the Chicago airport for about an hour and the girls had a ball. They got to "Healy" around the airport. It is so cool that just a walk from one side of the airport to the other is now a fun ride for them.

We met another couple at the check-in in Jacksonville who were also going to Beijing, and they approached us and asked if we were adopting. It was so funny to meet another family from Jacksonville. We have been hanging out with them all day sharing stories and stuff.

We are about to fly into tomorrow (cross the date line). I will have lots of pictures and stories to tell. Then Friday and Saturday we plan on touring by ourselves.

We are so blessed that we get to do this. Thank you to everyone who made this possible and provided support.
