Looking to the heavens as a pair. Flying home as a family.

Still preparing for our trip (3 related appointments today ... including travel vaccination, a meet-and-greet with a pediatrician (that I feel really good about), and an appointment with a orthopaedic surgeon (orthodonist who also is trained to work on tiny patients). We will bring some special tape to China; the idea is to put it across Willow's cleft, to begin to move her lips and columella into place for surgery. This ought to be a trick, with a toddler who doesn't know us. We will, of course, go slowly.

Meryl, Chris, and Pink Teddy-
Greetings from snowy Montana! It is good to see that you are enjoying your first days in China. You are doing great with the blog, Meryl! I love the crane image - a great analogy for your journey. I know today is the day you meet Willow Noelle. My thoughts are with you as you welcome her into your lives. Love, Linda, a rambunctious black lab, and 3 purring cats
